Animal cell experiments have extremely strict requirements for environmental purity and tranquility. When selecting a site, it is necessary to keep away from busy traffic main roads, factories, and other sources of noise and pollution. It could be hidden in a quiet corner of the suburban area of the city or located in a well - planned scientific research park, reducing the subtle impact of external interference on experimental results and ensuring the accuracy of experimental data.​

Rational Layout: Achieving Efficiency and Safety​

· Clear Functional Zoning: The experimental area undertakes important tasks such as cell culture and complex experimental operations; the animal breeding area creates a comfortable "home" for experimental animals; the auxiliary area includes dressing rooms, washing rooms, storage rooms, and other logistical support spaces. Each area is independent yet collaborative, effectively avoiding the risk of cross - contamination.​

· Separation of Personnel Flow, Logistics, and Animal Flow: Carefully plan the passageways for personnel, experimental items, and experimental animals, and set up exclusive channels to prevent "collisions" between different flow lines, maintaining the safety and order of the laboratory and laying a solid foundation for the smooth progress of experiments.​

II. Building and Decoration: Creating a Stable and Clean Space​

Solid Buildings: Protecting Experimental Safety​

· Stable and Seismic - Resistant Structure: The building structure of the laboratory needs to bear the heavy loads of experimental equipment, animal breeding facilities, etc., and at the same time, it should have excellent seismic performance. In the face of natural disasters, it provides protection for experimental personnel and equipment. The rational use of reinforced concrete structures or steel structures greatly enhances the stability of the building.​

· Scientific Floor Height Design: To ensure smooth air circulation indoors and meet the installation requirements of ventilation and air - conditioning systems and other equipment, the indoor clear height is generally not less than 2.6 meters, and the clear height of the equipment floor is not less than 2.2 meters, creating a spacious and comfortable working environment for experimental personnel.​

Fine Decoration: Creating a Clean Environment​

· Anti - Slip and Corrosion - Resistant Floors: The floors of the experimental area and the animal breeding area are made of seamless, anti - slip, and corrosion - resistant epoxy self - leveling floors. The skirting is flush with the wall or slightly indented, and the intersection of the floor and the wall is rounded with a radius of not less than 30 mm. This allows for thorough cleaning and disinfection, effectively suppressing the growth of dirt and bacteria.​

· Dust - and Water - Resistant Walls and Ceilings: The walls and ceilings are made of color steel plates that are easy to clean and disinfect, corrosion - resistant, dust - free, crack - free, smooth, and waterproof. The surface coating has antistatic properties, reducing dust adsorption and always maintaining a high - cleanliness laboratory environment.​

· Exquisite Door and Window Design: Laboratory doors close automatically and are equipped with observation windows and door locks. When there is a pressure requirement, the door opens towards the room with a higher pressure. The door of the buffer room is locked unidirectionally. For the main laboratory and its buffer room in high - level biosafety laboratories, air - tight doors are used. In terms of windows, according to different laboratory levels, external windows or closed observation windows are reasonably configured to ensure experimental safety and environmental stability.​

III. Air - Conditioning, Ventilation, and Purification: Building a High - Quality Environmental Guarantee​

Precise Temperature and Humidity Control: Caring for Cell Growth​

· Appropriate Temperature and Humidity: Animal cells are extremely sensitive to temperature and humidity. The temperature in the experimental area is usually controlled at 20 - 26 °C, and the relative humidity is maintained at 40% - 70%. The temperature in the animal breeding area is adjusted according to the types of animals. For example, the temperature in the mouse breeding area is generally 22 - 25 °C, and the humidity is 40% - 60%. The air - conditioning system produced by Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. can accurately adjust the temperature and humidity, providing an ideal living environment for cells and animals.​

· Independent Zoning Control: Given the differences in functional requirements of different areas, the air - conditioning system realizes independent zoning control. The temperature and humidity can be flexibly adjusted according to the needs of the experimental area, the animal breeding area, etc., avoiding mutual interference.​

Efficient Ventilation and Air Exchange: Keeping the Air Fresh​

· Reasonable Air Change Rate: To ensure fresh air in the laboratory and timely remove harmful gases and odors, the air change rate of the ventilation system has strict standards. The air change rate in the experimental area is not less than 15 times per hour, and the air change rate in the animal breeding area is not less than 10 - 15 times per hour. The specific value is flexibly adjusted according to factors such as the size of the laboratory, experimental content, and animal breeding density.​

· Optimized Airflow Organization: The air - supply - from - the - top and air - exhaust - from - the - bottom airflow organization method is adopted. Fresh air is sent in from the top, flows through the experimental operation area, and is discharged from the bottom, effectively avoiding air - flow short - circuit and cross - contamination, ensuring that the experimental environment is always in a good state.​

Multi - Stage Air Filtration: Improving Cleanliness Levels​

· Efficient Filtration System: The laboratory is equipped with a three - stage air - filtration system consisting of primary, medium - efficiency, and high - efficiency filters. The filtration efficiency of the high - efficiency filter for particles with a particle size of ≥ 0.3μm reaches more than 99.97%, effectively removing dust particles, microorganisms, and other pollutants in the air, providing a reliable purification guarantee for the experimental environment. The purification equipment of Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. performs outstandingly in terms of filtration performance and can meet the needs of different cleanliness levels.​

· Customized Cleanliness Levels: According to experimental needs, the cleanliness levels of animal cell laboratories are divided into Class 10,000, Class 100,000, etc. For example, the cell culture area often requires a cleanliness level of Class 10,000 to ensure the aseptic and pure environment for cell culture. Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. can customize purification solutions that meet experimental requirements for you, creating a clean space that meets standards.​

IV. Electrical and Lighting: Ensuring Experimental Operation and User Experience​
