In the field of animal experiments, scientific space planning is of utmost importance for the smooth progress of experiments, the accuracy of results, and the safety of both personnel and animals. Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd., as a professional manufacturer of purification equipment, is well - aware of the unique space layout requirements of different animal experiments. Here, we introduce the modular space planning strategies based on experiment types.
I. Characteristics of Animal Experiment Types and Space Requirements
Basic Biological Research Experiments
These experiments involve animal breeding, reproduction, and the detection of basic physiological indicators. A large and reasonably - laid - out breeding area is required, equipped with environmental control systems for temperature, humidity, and lighting to ensure the healthy growth of animals.
At the same time, there should be an independent experimental operation area with good cleanliness and ventilation conditions to prevent cross - contamination.
Drug R & D Experiments
During drug R & D, it is necessary to administer drugs to animals, observe drug reactions, and conduct pharmacokinetic studies. A dedicated drug - administration operation room needs to be set up, equipped with precise drug - administration equipment and safety protection facilities.
An advanced analytical instrument room is also required, which should be isolated from other areas to avoid external interference with the detection results. In addition, due to the involvement of multiple drugs and different doses, it is necessary to reasonably plan the drug storage area.
Infectious Disease Research Experiments
Biosecurity is the top consideration in infectious disease research experiments. A strict biosecurity protection area must be set up, with negative - pressure ventilation to prevent the leakage of pathogens in the laboratory.
The experimental operation area is designed according to the biosecurity level, equipped with biosafety cabinets, autoclaves, and other equipment to handle experiments and waste. At the same time, an independent animal infection area is set up, completely isolated from other areas, and equipped with exclusive passages and transportation equipment.
II. Modular Space Planning Strategies
Functional Module Division
- Animal Breeding Module: Divide the breeding area according to animal species and habits, such as rodent breeding area and non - human primate breeding area. Each module is equipped with independent ventilation, temperature control, humidity control, and automated feeding and watering devices. An observation passage is set up to facilitate daily observation.
- Experimental Operation Module: According to the experimental process and functions, it is divided into laboratory modules such as sample collection, cell culture, and molecular biology. Each module adopts different purification and ventilation equipment according to the cleanliness requirements. For example, the cell culture room is equipped with a super - clean workbench and a CO₂ incubator to maintain a high level of cleanliness; the molecular biology laboratory sets up a special area and takes anti - static and other measures.
- Equipment and Instrument Module: Concentrate experimental instruments and equipment, and layout them according to the type and frequency of use. Large - scale instruments are equipped with anti - vibration, dust - proof, moisture - proof facilities, and independent power supply and cooling systems; small - scale instruments are grouped according to functions, and a maintenance passage and space are set up.
- Waste Treatment Module: Due to the biological hazards of waste generated in animal laboratories, a special module is set up, including a collection area (different containers are set up and labeled according to waste types), a temporary storage area (equipped with refrigeration and other conditions), and a treatment area (equipped with autoclaves and other equipment).
Connection and Coordination among Modules
- Logistics Passage Planning: Plan a reasonable logistics passage to connect each functional module, ensuring that the passage size meets the transportation requirements. Different materials use different transportation routes to prevent cross - contamination.
- Information Communication System: Set up information display screens and communication equipment in each functional module, allowing experimental personnel to understand experimental progress and other information in real - time. Use an information management system to uniformly manage experimental data and other information for easy query and sharing.
- Emergency Response Mechanism: Each functional module formulates an emergency response plan to ensure the smooth flow of emergency passages and enable rapid isolation in case of emergencies. Equip emergency rescue equipment and materials to improve the emergency response ability of the laboratory.
