Whenever you are having equipment moved, always insure it (with the mover) for its full replacement cost. Talk with the moving company that will be doing the work and secure insurance from them to cover the cost of the equipment. If they are unable or unwilling to provide coverage for the dollar amount that you are asking, you might want to look to a different moving company. The national companies... United Van, Mayflower, Allied, Bekins, etc... can provide this coverage. It will add to the cost of the move, but it is well worth it. It would also be helpful to speak with the insurance agent that carries the insurance on your building for their advice.

In preparation for our move to a new building (YAHOO!), the question of insurance has arisen its ugly head. I have to assume here that the movers have coverage but details are being confirmed. I have a mental picture of my ASP300 rolling off the moving truck and missing the ramp and ending up... well, you get the picture. Do your labs/facilities carry insurance on equipment? Not just for moving, but for fire, flood and the other usual disasters? I admit to being a Lab Equipment Insurance Virgin J Sally Breeden, HT(ASCP) NM Dept. of Agriculture Veterinary Diagnostic Services PO Box 4700 Albuquerque, NM 87106 505-841-2576 _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
