Named the Rosalind Franklin Laboratory, this Megalabs Project Jupiter in Royal Leamington Spa will be home to a new very high-volume symptomatic testing laboratory. It has become one of the largest diagnostic facilities in the UK and will play a key role in the fight against COVID-19. Publicly owned and operated by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), this facility will be dedicated to COVID-19 for NHS Test and Trace and will be able to process hundreds of thousands of tests per day at full capacity. Asgard Cleanroom Solutions successfully completed the detailed design, supply, and installation of the 13,500 sq.m. BSL2 laboratory element of this project
