Small animal laboratories play a crucial role in life science and medical research. Many research institutions face limited space, making it urgent to create laboratories with efficient space utilization. Leveraging its profound expertise in the purification equipment sector, Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. presents professional compact design solutions.

For newly - built independent laboratories, choose areas free from pollution and noise, with excellent air and natural environments. If there are pollution sources nearby, the laboratory should be located on the upwind side. Also, avoid planting plants that easily produce lint or pollen.

Most medium - and small - sized experimental animal facilities are set up in scientific research teaching buildings. Separate the entrances for people and goods. The goods entrance should facilitate the passage of large vehicles, and the exit for carcasses and waste should be inconspicuous. To minimize impacts on other floors, it is advisable to locate such facilities on higher floors.

Experimental animal facilities are classified into ordinary, barrier, and isolation environments based on air purification levels. Different environments are used to raise different grades of animals. Determine the environmental level according to research needs to control construction and operation costs.

Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. can customize purification solutions according to different environmental requirements, ensuring that the experimental environment meets standards.

Experimental animal facilities have three main flow lines: personnel, animals, and items. Cross - contamination among these flow lines should be avoided. The common space - organization models are single - corridor and double - corridor systems. The double - corridor system can separate clean and dirty flow lines but has low space utilization. Small animal laboratories mostly adopt the single - corridor system, where strict sterilization and cleaning measures must be implemented to prevent cross - contamination.

Separate the breeding area from the experimental area to minimize mutual interference. Arrange water - using equipment and equipment requiring independent ventilation along the walls. Place movable experiment tables in the middle, adopting ceiling - powered access and wireless networks to flexibly adapt to experimental needs. Meanwhile, rationally plan functional areas such as offices and warehouses to improve work efficiency.

Air purification is vital for laboratories. Equipment like high - efficiency air filters and purification units from Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. can effectively filter pollutants and provide clean air. Customize equipment according to purification levels.

Select independent ventilation cage systems (IVC) with independent air - conditioning systems. Use constant - volume valves to ensure stable pressure in cage boxes. Also, equip feeding and watering devices to meet the living needs of animals.

Configure instruments such as animal hydraulic operating tables, B - ultrasound machines, and X - ray machines based on experimental requirements. Plan the placement of equipment reasonably to facilitate operation and reduce mutual interference.

Most medium - and small - sized experimental animal facilities are renovated from existing buildings, with limited floor heights. During design, rationally allocate the heights of indoor and ceiling spaces. Refer to regulatory requirements and pay attention to the clear heights of large - scale equipment.

Choose wall and ceiling materials that are easy to clean and disinfect, corrosion - resistant. The floor should be non - slip and wear - resistant. The combination of hollow magnesium - glass color steel plates, PVC floors, and aluminum alloy rounded - corner walls is a common choice.

Electrical installations must comply with standards and implement fire - prevention and explosion - proof measures. The ventilation system should be set up by region and animal type. Adopt an upper - supply and lower - return air distribution method to reduce energy consumption and minimize sanitation blind spots.
