When Boris Johnson visited the Glasgow Lighthouse Lab COVID-19 testing centre recently, he was pictured standing in front of several large stacks of brightly coloured Mailbox boxes. The attached lid containers (ALCs) are being used for collecting and moving samples to the laboratories for testing \u2013 the images from the visit clearly show the scientists working at the microbiological safety cabinets taking samples out of the labelled boxes, which have been piled safely on top of each other to make them easy to access.<\/p>

Lighthouse laboratories provide dedicated high-throughput COVID-19 testing as part of the National Testing Programme. The Glasgow Lighthouse Lab employs 650 people at its site within Glasgow University\u2019s Teaching and Learning Building on the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH) campus in Govan. Since April 2020, it has played a pivotal part in the country\u2019s pandemic response, processing COVID-19 test samples from across the UK. The prime minister visited to highlight the outstanding work being done across Glasgow to fight coronavirus.<\/p>

The ALCs Mailbox supplied to the Glasgow Lighthouse Lab are moulded in a light-coloured, semitransparent material that gives a shadow line of contents. This means that users can easily see the fill level without opening the boxes. The distinctive bright yellow lids are a clear indicator of the boxes\u2019 purpose, supporting the laboratory\u2019s colour-coding strategy and helping to ensure everything runs smoothly and safely in this high-pressure environment. Mailbox offers a huge range of colours from stock, so when the laboratory requested the unusual natural\/yellow lid combination, the team was able to fulfil the order without any delays, despite the very quick turnaround necessitated by the pandemic.<\/p>

Mailbox ALCs are ideal for use in the pharmaceutical industry as they are very easy to clean and wash down, ensuring high standards of hygiene can be maintained. Plastic construction means they are not susceptible to the moisture and contamination that can cause mould and bacteria.<\/p>

This style of container also offers several other key benefits:<\/p>
