Closed out cleanly, wherever it goes next

Whoever receives an instrument next — a service vendor, a buyer, a recycler, or a surveyor reviewing your equipment list — needs to see the same things: that it was decontaminated, by whom, and where it went. BMCA handles the work and the paperwork.

What we decontaminate

Cryostats — full defrost, tissue and blade waste removed, chamber and microtome disinfected, cleaning record issued; required before service, relocation, resale or disposal
Biosafety cabinets — gaseous decontamination of the cabinet, plenums and HEPA filters by paraformaldehyde, vaporized hydrogen peroxide or chlorine dioxide, before filter replacement, relocation or disposal
Tissue processors and stainers — reagent lines drained and flushed, formalin, xylene and alcohol removed as regulated waste, unit purged for transport
Refrigerators, freezers and ULT — contents transferred, unit defrosted and disinfected, refrigerant handled by a certified technician on retirement

The paperwork that goes with it

Decontamination certificate — model, serial, method, agent, date, technician signature
Chain of custody — who removed it, when, and where it went
Disposal, transfer or relocation record filed to your equipment records with the instrument's service history

Where it goes

Relocation to another site with reinstallation and re-verification or re-certification on arrival
Trade-in or resale — we'll tell you what a unit is worth before you pay to haul it
Retirement through a licensed electronics and refrigerant recycler
Regulated waste removed and manifested through a licensed hauler

Equipment decontamination, relocation & removal — common questions

Can you remove a cabinet from an upper floor or a tight lab?

Yes. We survey access, disassemble where needed and coordinate building management, elevators and loading docks. Send photos and we'll quote from them.

Can you decontaminate and reinstall the same unit in a new lab?

Yes — decontamination, move, reinstallation and re-certification or re-calibration as one scheduled job, so the instrument lands on the new site's equipment list already documented.

Do you buy used histology equipment?

Often. Working cryostats, microtomes and processors from major manufacturers have resale value. Ask before you scrap one.

Who performs biosafety cabinet decontamination?

Gaseous decontamination and re-certification are performed by Medrep Technologies, our preferred subcontracted certification partner, and managed by BMCA.

Is a decontamination certificate really required?

Most manufacturers, freight carriers and buyers will not touch a cabinet or cryostat without one, and surveyors expect a clean close-out on your equipment list.
