The brief

UK Biocentre’s laboratories in Milton Keynes are being used to analyse swab samples to support the national effort against the coronavirus pandemic.

They are one of the three Lighthouse Labs – the biggest network of diagnostic testing facilities the UK has ever seen.

Operations have expanded rapidly to analyse swab samples to determine whether COVID-19 is present, and capacity requirements are continuing to increase over time .

We have repurposed existing laboratories and built new ones to provide the capacity required for such a significant undertaking.

In order to achieve the sample throughput required, laboratory operations are 24/7.

To reduce the requirement for staff to leave site and maximise productivity, UKBC provide staff with food and drink and set times throughout the day.
