We Make Lab Equipment Shipping Less Challenging for You

Mercury can move delicate and sensitive scientific instruments and medical devices across the globe for you. We take every precaution necessary to ensure that your instruments arrive at their destination in the same condition they were in when they left your location.

We can ship analytical instruments, mass spectrometers, oscilloscopes, incubators, centrifuges, autostainers, freezers, delicate microscopes, x-ray machines, fume hoods, lab consumables and more. We understand that each piece of lab equipment has its unique needs, which is why we offer customized solutions for each shipment. 

We provide specialized packaging such as foam inserts or shock-absorbing materials, arrange for temperature-controlled transport and warehousing, and take every step necessary to ensure that your equipment is protected throughout the shipping process.
