In the construction of animal laboratories, the layout of electrical and water systems is not merely a simple infrastructure setup. Instead, it is closely related to the types of experiments and directly impacts the efficiency, safety, and accuracy of experiments. Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd., a professional manufacturer deeply engaged in the purification equipment field, understands the significance of this. Next, we will analyze the electrical and water layout strategies for animal laboratories based on experiment types.

Basic research - oriented experiments often require long - term and continuous observation and detection of basic characteristics such as animal physiology and pathology. These laboratories have extremely high requirements for the stability of water and electricity supply. Even a brief interruption can lead to the loss of precious experimental data.

Regarding the electrical layout, a dual - circuit power supply system should be equipped. One circuit serves as the regular power supply, and the other as the emergency backup to ensure that experimental equipment operates continuously. Sufficient power sockets should be evenly distributed in the laboratory bench area, and different specifications should be set according to equipment requirements. For example, sockets with voltage - stabilizing functions are used for precision instruments such as microscopes to meet the strict requirements of equipment for current stability. Considering the possible addition of new equipment in the future, it is advisable to reserve 20% - 30% of spare socket points.

In terms of waterways, in addition to regular domestic water, experimental water is more crucial. An independent pure water supply system should be set up, using multi - stage filtration and reverse osmosis technologies to provide high - quality pure water for experiments such as cell culture and biochemical analysis. The materials of water pipes should be corrosion - resistant stainless steel or PPR pipes to prevent water pollution. At the same time, the layout of water pipes should be reasonably planned to avoid crossing with circuits, preventing safety accidents caused by water leakage.

Drug R & D involves a large number of drug syntheses, tests, and animal efficacy evaluations, and attaches great importance to the precise control and safety of the experimental environment.

The power system needs to provide pure and stable power for various high - precision experimental equipment, such as high - performance liquid chromatographs and mass spectrometers. To this end, special power purification devices need to be installed to reduce current fluctuations and electromagnetic interference. At the same time, for some equipment that generates a large amount of heat, such as ovens and centrifuges, independent heat dissipation and ventilation systems should be equipped to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and reduce energy consumption.

In the waterway layout, in addition to meeting the pure water requirements of basic research - oriented laboratories, the impact of special chemical reagents that may be used in the drug synthesis process on water quality should also be considered. Some experiments may require ultrapure water, which requires the installation of a higher - level water purification device. In addition, due to the risk of chemical reagent leakage during drug R & D, floor drains should be set on the laboratory floor. The drainage system should have acid and alkali corrosion resistance and be strictly separated from the ordinary drainage system to prevent cross - contamination. Drainage pipes need to be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure smooth drainage.

Infectious disease research - oriented animal laboratories often deal with highly pathogenic pathogens, and the electrical and water layout must focus on strict isolation and prevention.

In the electrical layout, it is necessary to ensure that the negative - pressure system and ventilation purification system of the laboratory operate continuously for 24 hours. This is related to preventing the internal air of the laboratory from leaking into the external environment and ensuring the safety of personnel and the environment. All electrical equipment must have explosion - proof and sealing functions to avoid the risk of pathogen leakage caused by electric sparks. Lighting fixtures should also be of the sealed type for easy cleaning and disinfection.

In terms of waterways, an independent water supply and drainage system should be set up inside the laboratory, completely isolated from the outside world. The water supply pipes should be regularly disinfected to prevent the growth of pathogens. The drainage system needs to be equipped with an efficient disinfection device to strictly disinfect the discharged sewage before it enters the municipal pipe network. Facilities such as sinks should be set near the laboratory exit for experimental personnel to wash their hands and disinfect before leaving the laboratory. At the same time, the floor inside the laboratory should be made of waterproof, non - slip, and easy - to - clean materials to facilitate timely cleaning and disinfection in case of liquid leakage.
