GMI Is Now in San Diego: Southern California Lab Equipment Service

GMI has served Californian labs for years, and now we have a physical location in San Diego, California. Lab equipment service, used equipment buyback, and lab relocation and closure services now run from a local facility, with a team based right here in the region.

Our San Diego customers already know GMI. What’s new is a local facility: GMI’s first West Coast location, with dedicated warehouse and production space for equipment staging, refurbishment, testing, and secure storage. For the biotech, pharma, and research labs that power the region, that means faster response times and less reliance on shipping equipment across the country.

For more than 30 years, GMI has helped labs buy, service, sell, and move their instruments. Now we can do all of it locally in San Diego, with one team accountable from start to finish.

Our San Diego presence lets GMI respond faster and keep your instruments running with less waiting on out-of-state technicians or long shipping cycles.

GMI lab equipment service in San Diego includes:

• Repairs and troubleshooting. Diagnose and fix instrument issues to get your workflow back on track.

Can I Sell My Used Lab Equipment to GMI in San Diego?

Yes. GMI buys used lab equipment from San Diego labs through direct purchase, consignment, or online auction. Upgrading, downsizing, or clearing out unused instruments? Our San Diego location makes it easier for West Coast labs to turn surplus assets into capital.

You have a few ways to recover value:

• Direct purchase. GMI purchases your equipment outright for a fast, simple sale.
• Consignment. We connect your equipment with qualified buyers to help you get a stronger return.
• Online auction. Through Science Liquidation, our online auction platform, you can reach a wide audience of lab equipment buyers.

Equipment we acquire may be tested and refurbished, then offered as Certified Pre-Owned instruments. That keeps quality equipment in use and out of landfills. Visit Sell your lab equipment to GMI to get started.

Lab Relocation and Lab Closure Services in San Diego

GMI provides end-to-end lab relocation, lab decommissioning, and lab closure services in San Diego. Moving a lab or closing one down takes more than a moving truck. Sensitive instruments need proper de-installation, packing, transport, and recommissioning. GMI handles the full process.

• Lab relocation and internal moves. From moving across the hall to moving cities.
• De-installation and reinstallation. Instruments are taken down correctly and brought back online by people who know the equipment.
• Lab closure and decommissioning. A structured plan for shutting down a lab, including logistics and asset disposition.
• Secure storage. Short- or long-term storage at our San Diego facility while you transition.
• Asset recovery. Equipment you no longer need can be sold to GMI or listed on Science Liquidation, offsetting the cost of your move or closure.

Because the same team that services your instruments also moves them, nothing falls through the cracks between vendors. 

Why San Diego Labs Choose GMI

Most labs juggle separate vendors for service, buying, selling, and moving. GMI brings it together with one point of accountability.

• GMI for new and Certified Pre-Owned instruments, service, and parts
• Lab relocation and closure services for moves, decommissioning, and secure storage
• Science Liquidation for surplus asset recovery and online auctions

We’ve long supported labs in Southern California, and our San Diego facility brings that experience even closer.
