Activities involving biological agents are carried out in specially designed laboratories. These are described in COSHH as Containment Levels (CL). The requirements for the four different containment levels (CL1-4) are a combination of design, safety equipment, and working practices. The level of control increases in line with the CL number, so CL1 has the minimum level of control, while CL4 has the highest. CL3 laboratories are the highest level containment laboratories in common use in the UK.

We've supplied CL3 and other laboratories to many UK hospitals and life science facilities - visit our website to read our case studies on projects with Imperial College London, the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), Aberystwyth University’s innovation cluster - VetHub1 (shown in the image below), and many more

We work across a diverse and exciting range of healthcare and life science facilities. We are very proud of all our successful projects and want to share them with you. This section is updated frequently so please check back regularly for the latest news from MAT and MAT FM.

The team at MAT is absolutely committed to delivering the best laboratory containment facilities to enable the best research. Getting positive feedback from clients makes us all really proud. On completion of a CL3 lab within the University of Plymouth's Derriford Research Facility, it was great to get this from Dr Paul Waines, Senior Technician in the university’s School of Biomedical Sciences:
“CL3 facilities enable us to carry out all manner of important research in a variety of areas, and we were delighted that MAT agreed to take on the project. Their professional approach, competence and effective communication at all stages led to delivery of the project on schedule and a seamless commissioning/validation process. We are delighted with the final result and look forward to our researchers making full use of this facility to further expand their research in the near future.”

🚦Imagine if you could see the status of your ultraclean ventilation canopy at a glance... With the ECO-flow Stealth traffic light system, you can!

LED traffic lights built into the perimeter of the clean zone clearly show UCV status:
🟢Green = UCV mode
🟠Amber = Conventional mode
🔴Red = UCV fault
🔵Blue = HEPA filters dirty

This Remembrance Sunday, we join with the nation to remember the service and sacrifice of all those who have defended our freedoms and protected our way of life.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
from 'For the Fallen' by Laurence Binyon

At MAT, we are incredibly proud of our team, all of whom are equally committed to delivering an outstanding customer experience for our clients in the healthcare 🏥 and life science sectors 🔬

Visit https://medicalairtechnology.com/meet-mat/ and meet people like Laura Doyle BSc (Hons), our Technical Support Assistant 👩

Laura has been with MAT since 2016. She originally came to us as agency staff, but we quickly realised we didn't want to let her go, and in the November, she joined us full time in our Facilities Management division. We were all very proud when in 2024 Laura was awarded a BSc (hons) in Management of Healthcare Engineering, Technologies and Facilities, which she attained through Eastwood Park and Staffordshire University 👏

It’s officially the first day of autumn, and this year’s trees are expected to be even more vibrant than usual - bright reds, oranges and golds.

This is because, according to Forestry England, the warm and sunny summer helped leaves produce more sugar, which will lead to richer, more vivid colours.

What a lovely start to the week 🍂😊

But at MAT, we don't just do weather updates. Visit our website for all the info on our healthcare and life science critical ventilation solutions
