At present, animal experiments have become an important subject of modern scientific experimental research. In order to ensure the safety and accuracy of experiments, system construction must be done during the decoration of animal laboratories. Today’s article, let’s talk about this topic.

Generally speaking, the system construction work of animal laboratory decoration is reflected in 6 aspects, namely: isolation system, barrier system, semi-barrier system, laminar flow rack system, open system, and air system.

1. Isolation system

This system is used for the breeding of sterile animals and is simply a container with operating gloves. The interior must maintain a cleanliness level of 100 as required by microorganisms, but the room where the isolation system is placed and the operators do not have to consider the cleanliness requirements of the sterile room.

2. Barrier system

This system is used for the long-term breeding and reproduction of animals without special pathogens. The room where the breeding system is placed must reach a cleanliness of 10,000 to 100,000. The operator must implement strict management when entering the room, such as showering and changing personal clothes.

3. Semi-barrier system

This system is similar to the barrier system, but relaxes the management of cleanliness, people and things entering and leaving the room.

4. Laminar flow rack system

This system is used for small-scale breeding of animals. The laminar flow rack is placed in clean horizontal laminar air, which is a supplement to the semi-barrier system.

5. Open system

This system is used to clean up people, objects, and air, but it needs related cleaning management.

6. Air system

This is an important part of the decoration of animal laboratories. This system consists of 34 parts: air purification system, fresh air system, and deodorization system.

Air purification system: Since there are no conditions for frequent use of fumigation and washing to sterilize in the animal laboratory, it can only rely on the weaker disinfectant. In order to avoid microbial infection in the room, an air purification system must be equipped.

Fresh air system: There are many animals in the animal laboratory. Therefore, we must take measures to prevent cross-infection. The fresh air system can solve these problems.

Deodorization system: In addition to preventing cross-infection in animal laboratories, deodorization is also very important. Deodorization methods mainly include fresh air and activated carbon adsorption.

How to do a good job in system construction for animal laboratory decoration? I believe that through the above introduction, everyone has a preliminary understanding.
