PsiOxus Therapeutics Ltd is
a UK and US based cancer
therapeutics company
recently listed 25th in the
Sunday Times Hiscox Tech
Track 100 in 2017 for its
‘Gene Therapy for Cancer’
platform technology for the
treatment of solid tumours.
PsiOxus has recently
expanded into 21,000 sq ft
of new facilities including a
state of the art research and
development laboratory
in The Quadrant at the
Abingdon Science Park.
The main contractor,
Morgan Lovell specified
Selectaglaze, to improve
the thermal insulation and
security of the building. The
original primary windows
were thermally inefficient,
draughty and let heat
escape. PsiOxus’ research and
development environment
demands the utmost
cleanliness so a glazing
solution was required to
meet these requirements.
In addition, a total of 22
Series 40 fixed light units
were fitted as viewing
panels in the research and
development laboratories.
The Series 40 has a sturdier
frame which can house
higher weights of glass than
required in a standard unit.
The vision panels within the
internal walls were fitted in
6mm toughened glass, and
in the lab areas, units were
fitted with a 10mm Pyrodur
glass, providing 30 minutes
of fire integrity.
Selectaglaze is the leading
specialist in secondary
glazing, established in 1966
and Royal Warrant Holder
since 2004.

As part of the refurbishment,
windows with fire ratings
separating the labs and
corridors were also required
to conform to building
regulations.
Selectaglaze met the brief
by installing a total of 15
horizontal slider units with
6mm toughened low- E glass
in the 2 and 3 pane options
to all primary windows.
The inverted u-channel
section was included to
sit in the bottom of each
frame to minimise the dust
traps and enhance the
ease of cleaning. All of the
secondary glazing on the
ground floor was fitted with
Satinovo obscurity glass.
