Today, Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. will lead you to deeply analyze these core components and provide professional and practical insights for the construction and upgrade of your animal laboratory.
I. Air Purification Equipment
(I) High - Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) Filter
In the air purification system of animal laboratory barrier facilities, the HEPA filter is undoubtedly the most critical "air guard". It is like a strict "gatekeeper" that can accurately filter out particles in the air with a particle size of ≥ 0.3μm, and its filtration efficiency is as high as over 99.97%. This means that various pollutants such as dust and microorganisms can hardly escape its "eyes", effectively preventing them from entering the experimental area. With its exquisite technology and persistent pursuit of quality, Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. provides high - quality HEPA filters. These filters use special filter materials and advanced manufacturing processes, and have many significant advantages. They have low resistance, allowing air to flow smoothly and reducing energy consumption; large dust - holding capacity, which extends the replacement cycle and reduces maintenance costs; and long service life, providing a strong guarantee for the long - term stable cleanliness of the experimental environment and ensuring that the air cleanliness of the experimental environment always meets strict standards.
(II) Air - Conditioning Unit
A stable and suitable temperature and humidity environment is of vital importance for the healthy growth of experimental animals and the reliability of experimental results. The dedicated air - conditioning unit customized by Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. for animal laboratories shows excellent precise temperature and humidity control capabilities. It can accurately control the temperature within the suitable range of 20 - 26°C and maintain the relative humidity at 40% - 70% according to different experimental requirements. Moreover, this air - conditioning unit also has excellent flexibility. It can operate with all - fresh air, directly introducing fresh air from the outside to bring sufficient oxygen to the laboratory; or it can mix fresh air and return air in a certain proportion, effectively reducing energy consumption while ensuring the freshness and quality of indoor air, avoiding cross - contamination from the root and creating an ideal environmental condition for experimental animals and experimental operations.
II. Disinfection Equipment
(I) Autoclave
The autoclave is the "main force" in laboratory disinfection work and is an essential device for disinfecting experimental equipment, work clothes, etc. By means of high temperature and high pressure (usually at a high temperature of 121°C for 15 - 30 minutes), it can effectively kill various bacteria, viruses, spores and other tenacious microorganisms without dead corners. The autoclave of Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. incorporates advanced intelligent technology and has a simple and intuitive operation interface. Experimental personnel can easily and accurately control key parameters such as sterilization temperature, time and pressure through this interface. In addition, in order to ensure the safety of the operation process, multiple safety protection devices such as over - temperature protection and over - pressure protection are carefully set up, providing all - round protection for the safety of operators, so that you can carry out disinfection work without any worries.
(II) Hydrogen Peroxide Low - Temperature Plasma Sterilizer
For some precision instruments and plastic products that are sensitive to temperature and pressure and are not resistant to high temperature and high pressure, the hydrogen peroxide low - temperature plasma sterilizer has become an ideal sterilization choice. It cleverly uses the plasma generated by the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide gas in a low - temperature environment (45 - 60°C). These plasmas can quickly and accurately destroy the protein and nucleic acid structures of microorganisms, thus achieving a fast and efficient sterilization effect. The sterilizers of this type provided by Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. have many outstanding advantages. Their sterilization cycle is short, which greatly improves work efficiency; they cause little damage to items, being able to protect valuable experimental instruments and plastic products to the greatest extent; at the same time, they also have good environmental performance and will not produce harmful residues, which not only ensures the safety of experimental items but also meets environmental protection requirements, contributing to the green and sustainable development of the laboratory.
III. Access Control and Monitoring System
(I) Electronic Access Control System
In animal laboratory barrier facilities, strictly controlling the entry and exit of personnel is an important link to ensure biosafety, and the electronic access control system plays an indispensable role here. It is like a loyal "gatekeeper". Through advanced identity verification methods such as card - swiping and fingerprint recognition, it strictly verifies the identity of every person trying to enter the laboratory. Only authorized personnel can smoothly enter the corresponding area, effectively preventing unauthorized personnel from breaking in and greatly reducing the biosafety risk. The electronic access control system of Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. has strong compatibility and can be perfectly integrated with the laboratory management software, facilitating laboratory managers to carry out convenient and efficient personnel permission management. They can easily set the entry and exit permissions of different personnel and can also query detailed access records at any time, providing strong data support for the safety management of the laboratory.
(II) Surveillance Cameras
All - round surveillance cameras are like the "eyes" of the laboratory, which can monitor various situations inside the laboratory in real - time and comprehensively. Whether the operations of experimental personnel are standardized, the operating status of equipment is normal, or the activities of experimental animals are under control, everything is under surveillance. Once any abnormal situation occurs, such as equipment breakdown or personnel's illegal operation, the monitoring system can immediately issue an alarm and quickly record relevant information. The high - definition surveillance cameras provided by Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. are equipped with advanced night - vision functions. Even in a dimly lit environment, they can clearly capture every move inside the laboratory. At the same time, they have remote monitoring capabilities. No matter where the laboratory manager is, as long as there is a network connection, they can master the real - time dynamics of the laboratory at any time and achieve efficient remote management of the laboratory.
IV. Animal Breeding Equipment
(I) Independent Ventilated Caging (IVC) System
As an advanced animal breeding equipment widely used in modern animal laboratories, the IVC system has brought a revolutionary change to the breeding of experimental animals. Its biggest feature is that each cage is equipped with an independent ventilation duct. This ingenious design enables the air in the cage to be filtered and circulated separately, as if creating a exclusive "clean little world" for each experimental animal, effectively avoiding cross - infection between cages. The IVC system of Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. performs excellently in terms of performance. It has the advantages of low noise, which will not interfere with the life of experimental animals and experimental operations; low energy consumption, which is in line with the environmental protection concept of energy conservation and emission reduction; and easy operation, and experimental personnel can easily carry out daily breeding and management work. Moreover, this system can flexibly adjust the number and layout of cages according to changes in experimental needs, providing a more comfortable and safe living environment for experimental animals and strongly supporting the smooth progress of various animal experiments.
(II) Laminar Flow Rack
The laminar flow rack mainly creates a clean air micro - environment for experimental animals by forming vertical or horizontal laminar air in the breeding area. It is especially suitable for breeding small experimental animals such as mice and rats. The laminar flow racks produced by Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. are made of high - quality stainless steel. Their surfaces are smooth, which is not only beautiful and generous but also extremely easy to clean, effectively reducing the adhesion of bacteria and dirt. At the same time, the laminar flow racks are equipped with high - efficiency filters that can strictly filter the air entering the breeding area to ensure air cleanliness; they are also equipped with wind speed adjustment devices that can flexibly adjust the wind speed according to the needs of experimental animals and the actual situation of the breeding environment, ensuring stable and reliable laminar flow effects, providing a suitable and clean living space for small experimental animals, meeting the breeding requirements of experimental animals and laying a solid foundation for the success of animal experiments.
