Only take solutions that are important / difficult to remake (stock solutions, RNase free, etc); all others throw away before move. Make sure all of your stuff in the fridge and freezers are in sealed, labeled boxes; no loose items as stuff will be turned on end. Make sure you get rid of all stuff that you do not need in the fridges and freezers; consolidate your stuff as we will not be able to plug in all of our freezers in the truck. Go through your drawers and throw away stuff you don't need, or put into general stock if will be shipped, or pack in own personal box; the lab should be completely cleaned out when we leave.
