Before you send
Questions worth settling early.
Does the whole lab need to move at once?
No. Describe the proposed phases and any equipment that must remain operational until a later date. Treat a proposed availability date separately from a confirmed release date.
The original operator has left. What should I record?
Use the labels and records you have, state which information is second-hand and identify what cannot currently be verified. There is no need to reconstruct a performance claim from memory.
Should I include project results?
No. The enquiry needs an equipment description, not research results. If a relevant service or configuration record contains confidential information, provide a non-confidential summary first.
