Lab decommissioning / coordinated service

Close the lab with a clear record.

When a lab winds down or moves on, BenchTrove coordinates the careful work between the last experiment and the next useful life: inventory, packing, shipping, and compliant disposal.

Closure brief / 01

A managed exit for the lab.

Inventory

What is here?

Routing

What moves on?

Logistics

How does it leave?

Closeout

What gets documented?

A useful record is part of the handoff, whether an instrument is reused, shipped, or retired.

What we coordinate

Four parts of a careful closeout.

01 / Inventory

See the whole room.

We build a practical equipment record so nothing useful gets missed and every decision has context.

  • Room-by-room capture
  • Serial and model details
  • Condition and ownership notes

02 / Packing

Prepare it for the move.

Our team plans access, disconnection, protection, and staging around the realities of an active or closing facility.

  • Removal and access planning
  • Instrument-safe protection
  • Accessory and component matching

03 / Shipping

Move it with a paper trail.

We coordinate freight and handoff details so equipment reaches its next destination with the right information attached.

  • Freight coordination
  • Destination requirements
  • Condition at handoff

04 / Compliant disposal

Dispose of what cannot move on.

For equipment beyond reuse, we help identify the appropriate compliant route and document what happened next.

  • Reuse-first triage
  • Responsible downstream routes
  • Closeout documentation
How it works

From first note to final record.

The first conversation is about making the route legible. We fill in the detail together from there.

  1. 01

    Tell us about the facility

    Share the institution, location, rough count, and timing that shape the first conversation.

  2. 02

    Walk the inventory together

    A coordinator clarifies access, instrument mix, condition, and what should be reused or retired.

  3. 03

    Receive a coordinated plan

    We come back with a clear route for pickup, preparation, shipping, and compliant closeout.

Before we begin

A few useful answers.

For closing labs

Make the next step a little clearer.

Tell us enough to start a useful conversation. A BenchTrove coordinator will follow up, review the route with you, and help turn a complex closeout into a sequence.

What happens next

Review the details. Coordinate access and timing. Build the plan for reuse, shipping, or compliant disposal.

Decommissioning request / 02

Start with the shape of the lab.
No account needed
A rough count is enough. We’ll use the first conversation to understand the inventory and the closeout window.

A coordinator will follow up here.

Optional, but useful for access-day coordination.

Include benchtop and larger equipment.

A city and country is enough to start.

Your details stay with this inquiry and are used to coordinate the next conversation.
