Laboratory Closure & Acquisition Due Diligence — Technical Assessment
Acquiring or closing a laboratory involves technical evidence, not just financials: what the equipment is worth, whether the methods and records are sound, and what liabilities transfer.
What does it measure?
- Equipment assessment: age, service history, qualification status and resale or relocation value — verified against records, not listings.
- Quality and compliance review: accreditation scope and status, outstanding nonconformities, data-integrity posture and record-retention obligations.
- Method and customer transfer scope: which methods, contracts and samples must move, and the validation or transfer work that requires.
- Closure obligations: sample disposal or return, record retention periods, reagent and waste handling, and regulatory notifications.
When is it used?
- Acquisition of a testing laboratory or its assets
- Laboratory closure and wind-down planning
- Divestiture of a business-unit laboratory
- Asset valuation support
Sample considerations
- Describe the scope of the transaction and sites involved.
- List available evidence: equipment inventory, accreditation status, quality records.
- State timeline, confidentiality arrangements and decision criteria.
