The end of 2019 signalled a new era in virus prevention and control. Covid-19 brought respiratory infections to record levels globally, forcing governments to increase their testing capacities. Prenetics EMEA formed part of this new initiative, becoming one of the first UKAS-accredited testing providers in Britain. Consequently, their new Greenwich lab would prove crucial in the fight against this illusive virus.

About this case study:
Brief
During its peak, Prenetics processed over 10,000 antibody tests per week. That's almost 1430 tests per day. To facilitate these numbers, Prenetics would require a series of biological workspaces and mobile storage.
Solution
In total, TION supplied twelve class II biosafety cabinets, seven mobile workbenches, ten drawers and ten base units. We also provide installation and a three-year service contract to ensure BS EN 12469:2000 compliance.
Outcome
The team at Prenetics was incredibly impressed with the products and our delivery time. We delivered, installed and commissioned all 12 class II biosafety cabinets within three days, ensuring Prenetics could hit the ground running.
Summary
This project demonstrates our ability to deliver world-class fume extraction solutions at a moment's notice. Even though the timeframe was short, our project managers, logistics and delivery teams banded together to meet the client's deadlines.
