Whether interim or permanent, a medical laboratory from Portakabin can provide a sterile and climate-controlled environment to carry out testing and research. With space designed to suit your requirements, your modular laboratory can accommodate any element of pathology.
Designed and built to healthcare standards
As a healthcare design specialist, Portakabin will design your medical laboratory to meet healthcare standards including HTM (Health Technical Memoranda), HBN (Health Buildings Notes), SHTM (Scottish Health Technical Memoranda), WHTM (Welsh Health Technical Memoranda) and HAI-SCRIBE (Healthcare Associated Infection System for Controlling Risk in the Built Environment).
Ready to use laboratories
On delivery, your laboratory from Portakabin is fitted with all plumbing, data, power and gas supply points you require. Interior fittings and furniture can be designed to suit a wide range of specialist departments including haematology, histopathology, chemical pathology and microbiology.
LHC and NHS Shared Business Services framework approved
We are also part of frameworks including LHC and NHS Shared Business Services to ensure your procurement process is as smooth as possible.
Although only intended to provide temporary accommodation for a period of up to five years, the modular laboratories still needed to provide state-of-the-art facilities for the world leading departments. These facilities ranged from Cat 2 wet laboratories and constant temperature rooms to over 50 specialist testing booths, some electromagnetically shielded to enable EEG studies.
