FAQ
How can we help you?
What types of laboratory spaces does Kadans offer?
Kadans provides a wide range of laboratory environments, including biology, chemistry, in vivo, and dry laboratories. Each space is designed to meet the specific technical, safety, and operational requirements of modern research teams and innovative organisations.
What containment levels do your laboratory facilities support?
Our UK laboratory portfolio includes facilities designed to support Containment Level 1, 2, and in some cases Level 3. Whether you need a standard research lab (CL1), a laboratory for working with moderate‑risk pathogens (CL2), or a higher‑security environment (CL3), we can help identify the right space for your work.
How long does it take to set up a laboratory?
Set‑up time depends on your technical requirements. Standard laboratories can be operational within a matter of weeks, while highly specialised or high‑containment labs may require longer lead times. Our in‑house teams work closely with you to plan, configure, and deliver your laboratory on schedule.
In which UK cities can I find Kadans laboratory locations?
Kadans laboratory facilities are located within the UK’s leading innovation clusters, including London, Cambridge, Oxfordshire, Manchester, Glasgow, and Stevenage.
Each campus is strategically positioned close to major universities, research institutes, and fast‑growing biotech and technology communities.
Can Kadans upgrade or modify an existing laboratory?
Yes. In addition to developing new laboratory spaces, we can upgrade or reconfigure existing labs within our buildings. Whether you need to increase containment levels, add specialist ventilation, or incorporate new technical installations, our teams ensure a smooth and compliant upgrade process.
