With profound expertise in the production of purification equipment, Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. has keenly observed the numerous development trends that the green and environmental protection concept has brought to animal laboratory projects. I. Environment - friendly Design: Creating an Eco - friendly Space (I) Optimizing Layout and Improving Space Utilization A rational laboratory layout serves as the foundation for achieving green and environmental protection. During the design phase, it is essential to fully consider experimental procedures and the activity requirements of animals. Different functional areas should be scientifically demarcated to minimize unnecessary space waste. For example, the experimental operation area, animal breeding area, and waste disposal area should be appropriately arranged to shorten the logistics and pedestrian flow paths, thereby reducing energy consumption. Additionally, the modular design concept should be adopted, facilitating flexible adjustments and expansions based on experimental demands in the future, and enhancing the long - term applicability of laboratory space. (II) Incorporating Natural Lighting and Ventilation Natural lighting and ventilation not only provide a more comfortable environment for experimental personnel and laboratory animals but also effectively reduce the energy consumption of artificial lighting and ventilation systems. In the design of animal laboratories, the area of windows should be reasonably increased. Technologies such as light - guiding pipes and reflecting mirrors can be utilized to introduce natural light deep into the interior, reducing dependence on artificial lighting during the day. At the same time, by optimizing the building's orientation and spatial form, a favorable natural ventilation path can be created. During the transitional seasons or when the weather is suitable, natural ventilation can meet the indoor air replacement requirements, reducing the operating time and energy consumption of the ventilation system. II. Application of Energy - saving Equipment and Technologies: Reducing Energy Consumption (I) Upgrading High - efficiency Purification Equipment Animal laboratories have extremely high requirements for environmental cleanliness. The energy consumption of purification equipment accounts for a relatively large proportion of the overall operating costs of the laboratory. Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. is constantly committed to the research, development, and upgrading of purification equipment, introducing more energy - efficient and high - performance products. For instance, the new - generation air purification equipment employs advanced filtration technologies and intelligent control systems. While ensuring the efficient removal of dust particles, microorganisms, and other pollutants in the air, it adjusts the fan speed in real - time according to the indoor air quality, reducing energy consumption. Moreover, by optimizing the equipment structure and material selection, the heat exchange efficiency of the equipment is improved, minimizing energy waste caused by heat loss. (II) Utilization of Intelligent Control Systems Intelligent control systems can achieve precise regulation of various equipment in animal laboratories, further enhancing energy utilization efficiency. Sensors are used to monitor parameters such as indoor temperature, humidity, and air quality in real - time, and the data is transmitted to the control system. The system automatically adjusts the operating status of air conditioners, ventilation systems, lighting, and other equipment based on the pre - set optimal parameter range. For example, when the laboratory is unoccupied, the lighting brightness is automatically reduced, and some unnecessary equipment is turned off. In the animal breeding area, environmental parameters are precisely controlled according to the species and growth stage of the animals, meeting the animals' needs while avoiding excessive energy consumption. III. Selection of Environment - friendly Materials: Ensuring Health and Sustainability (I) Prioritizing Non - toxic, Harmless, and Degradable Materials In the construction of animal laboratories, the selection of non - toxic, harmless, and degradable materials is a crucial manifestation of green and environmental protection. For flooring, environmentally friendly rubber floors or biodegradable biobased composite materials can be used. These materials not only exhibit excellent wear resistance and anti - slip properties but also do not release harmful gases during use, posing no harm to the health of experimental personnel and animals. For wall materials, environmentally friendly panels made from renewable plant fibers can be chosen. They can effectively insulate against sound and heat and are in line with the requirements of sustainable development. Additionally, for laboratory benches, cabinets, and other furniture, wooden materials coated with water - based paint or recyclable metal materials are preferred to reduce the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). (II) Emphasizing the Durability and Maintainability of Materials Selecting materials with good durability and ease of maintenance can reduce the frequent replacement caused by material damage or aging, thereby reducing resource consumption and waste generation. For example, in the selection of doors and windows for laboratories, broken - bridge aluminum materials are used. They have excellent thermal insulation, sound insulation properties, and a long service life. For areas prone to corrosion, such as the floors and walls of animal breeding areas, corrosion - resistant stainless steel or materials with special coatings are selected to ensure structural stability during long - term use, reducing maintenance and replacement costs and achieving efficient resource utilization. IV. Waste Treatment and Resource Recycling: Achieving Circular Utilization (I) Improving the Waste Classification and Treatment System Animal laboratories generate a wide variety of waste, including animal carcasses, experimental waste liquids, medical waste, and domestic waste. Establishing a comprehensive waste classification and treatment system is of utmost importance. Designated waste collection areas should be set up, equipped with different types of collection containers, and strict classification collection of various wastes should be carried out. For animal carcasses, professional harmless treatment equipment is used for incineration or deep burial. Experimental waste liquids are pre - treated through neutralization, precipitation, filtration, etc., according to their properties, and then handed over to qualified units for centralized treatment. Medical waste and domestic waste are properly disposed of in accordance with relevant regulations to ensure that waste does not pollute the environment. (II) Resource Recycling and Reuse Actively exploring ways for resource recycling and reuse of waste is one of the development directions for green and environmental protection animal laboratories. For example, recyclable materials such as waste metals, glass, and plastics generated during the experimental process are sorted and recycled, and handed over to professional recycling enterprises for reprocessing. In the treatment of animal manure, technologies such as anaerobic fermentation are used to convert it into biogas and organic fertilizers, achieving circular utilization of resources. In addition, discarded laboratory equipment and instruments can be donated to other scientific research institutions or schools in need after evaluation and repair, extending their service life and reducing resource waste. V. Green Operation Management: Continuously Promoting Environmental Protection Practices (I) Formulating Environmental Protection Management Systems and Training A sound green environmental protection operation management system should be established, clearly defining the responsibilities and obligations of various departments and personnel in the laboratory's environmental protection work. Detailed environmental protection operation guidelines, such as energy - saving operation manuals for equipment and waste classification treatment procedures, should be formulated. Training on environmental protection should be strengthened for experimental personnel and staff to improve their environmental awareness and operational skills. Regular environmental protection knowledge lectures and training activities should be organized to make the concept of environmental protection deeply rooted in people's hearts, prompting all personnel to consciously implement environmental protection measures in their daily work.

Latest company case about Key Points of Quality Control in the Construction of Animal Laboratory Projects

Key Points of Quality Control in the Construction of Animal Laboratory Projects

    In the field of life science research, animal laboratories are indispensable infrastructure. They play a crucial role in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of experimental results and safeguarding the well - being of laboratory animals. As Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd., with years of rich experience in the production of purification equipment, we deeply understand the significance of quality control in the construction of animal laboratory projects. Today, we would like to share with you the key points of quality control in the construction of animal laboratory projects. I. Review of Design Plans: Laying a Solid Foundation for Quality Design is the blueprint of engineering construction. A rational design plan is the primary step in ensuring the quality of animal laboratories. Before construction, we must conduct a strict review of the design plan. On the one hand, we need to ensure that the layout of the laboratory meets the requirements of the experimental process. Distinguish between clean areas and contaminated areas to prevent cross - contamination. For example, the breeding area, surgical area, and observation area of laboratory animals should be independent of each other, and reasonable passageways and buffer rooms should be set up to avoid interference and the spread of contamination between different areas. On the other hand, we should fully consider the living habits and welfare requirements of laboratory animals, and optimize environmental parameters such as the size of the animal room, ventilation, lighting, and temperature. Only by creating an environment that conforms to the physiological and behavioral characteristics of animals can we reduce animal stress responses and improve the reliability of experimental results. II. Selection of Purification Equipment: Protecting the Experimental Environment Animal laboratories have strict requirements for environmental cleanliness, temperature, humidity, air pressure, etc. The quality of purification equipment directly affects the environmental quality of the laboratory. The purification equipment independently developed and produced by our company plays an important role in the construction of animal laboratory projects. Take air purification equipment as an example. It is equipped with high - efficiency filters that can effectively filter dust particles, microorganisms, and other pollutants in the air, providing a clean air environment for laboratory animals. When selecting equipment, we should choose the appropriate equipment models and technical parameters based on the scale, function, and experimental requirements of the laboratory. At the same time, we must strictly control the quality of the equipment. Ensure that every link, from raw material procurement, production processing to finished product inspection, meets national standards and industry specifications. III. Control of Construction Materials: Ensuring Durability and Reliability The quality of construction materials is the material basis for the quality of animal laboratory projects. When selecting building materials, we should give priority to materials that are corrosion - resistant, easy to clean, and have good sealing properties. For example, epoxy self - leveling materials can be used for the floor. They not only have good wear - resistance and corrosion - resistance but are also convenient for cleaning and disinfection, effectively preventing the growth of bacteria. Color - coated steel plates can be used for the walls. They are fire - resistant, moisture - proof, easy to install, and have a smooth surface, reducing the possibility of dust accumulation and bacterial attachment. In addition, strict quality inspections should be carried out on all construction materials entering the construction site, including the specifications, performance, and quality certification documents of the materials. Disqualify materials must be prevented from entering the construction site. IV. Management of the Construction Process: Implementing Quality Standards The construction process is a crucial stage in transforming the design plan into a physical project and must be managed meticulously. First, establish a sound quality management system, clarify the quality standards and responsible persons for each construction link, and conduct technical briefings and training for construction workers to ensure that they are familiar with construction techniques and quality requirements. Second, strengthen supervision and inspection at the construction site, regularly sample and inspect the construction quality, and promptly discover and correct quality problems. For example, during the installation of pipelines, check the slope and sealing of the pipelines to prevent water accumulation and leakage. Finally, keep good construction records, including construction logs, material inspection reports, hidden project acceptance records, etc., providing a basis for tracing the project quality. V. Review at the Acceptance Stage: Ensuring the Quality of Delivery After the completion of the project, the acceptance stage is of vital importance. We should conduct a comprehensive acceptance of the animal laboratory based on relevant standards and specifications, including the layout of the laboratory, the operation status of facilities and equipment, and the compliance of environmental parameters. Use professional testing equipment to test indicators such as the air cleanliness, temperature, humidity, and noise of the laboratory to ensure that all indicators meet the design requirements. Only projects that pass the acceptance can be delivered for use, providing a safe and reliable experimental environment for researchers. Quality control in the construction of animal laboratory projects is a systematic project. It requires strict control of every link, from design, equipment, materials, construction to acceptance.

Latest company case about Engineering Design of Supporting Facilities for High-pressure Sterilization Equipment in Animal Laboratories

Engineering Design of Supporting Facilities for High-pressure Sterilization Equipment in Animal Laboratories

  In the field of animal experiments, ensuring the aseptic condition of the experimental environment is a crucial factor for the accuracy of experiments and the health of animals. High-pressure sterilization equipment serves as an indispensable "weapon" for sterilization in animal laboratories. The rational design of its supporting engineering directly affects the performance of the equipment and the overall operational efficiency of the laboratory. Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd., with its profound accumulation in the production of purification equipment, will analyze the key points of the engineering design of supporting facilities for high-pressure sterilization equipment in animal laboratories for you. Selection Criteria for High-pressure Sterilization Equipment Determine the Capacity Based on the Laboratory Scale and Requirements Animal laboratories of different scales vary in the quantity and volume of items to be sterilized. Small laboratories usually handle relatively fewer experimental utensils and animal bedding, so a tabletop high-pressure sterilizer with a smaller capacity can be chosen. This type of equipment occupies less space and is easy to operate. However, for large animal laboratories, due to their large-scale experiments, a large number of experimental equipment, culture media, and animal waste need to be processed. Therefore, vertical or horizontal high-pressure sterilizers with large capacities should be configured to meet the demand for batch sterilization. Consider the Characteristics of Items to be Sterilized The items to be sterilized in animal laboratories are diverse. For items that can withstand high temperature and pressure, such as glassware and metal instruments, conventional high-pressure sterilizers can effectively sterilize them. But for some items containing components that are not resistant to high temperature, such as certain plastic products and biological products, equipment with low-temperature sterilization functions should be selected, such as ethylene oxide sterilizers or hydrogen peroxide plasma sterilizers, which can achieve sterilization while protecting the items from damage. Planning and Design of Supporting Spaces Reasonable Layout of the Placement Location The placement location of high-pressure sterilization equipment should comprehensively consider the flow of people, logistics, and drainage. The equipment should be installed in an area with good ventilation, dryness, and away from heat sources and water sources to prevent the equipment from being damaged by moisture. At the same time, there should be sufficient operating space around the equipment to facilitate the loading and unloading of sterilized items by the staff. The exhaust port and drain port of the sterilization equipment should not face the passage to avoid steam and sewage from causing harm to personnel. Design of Ventilation and Lighting in the Space A large amount of steam is generated during the high-pressure sterilization process, so a good ventilation system is essential. An exhaust fan or exhaust pipeline can be installed above the equipment to timely discharge the steam, reduce the indoor humidity, prevent safety accidents caused by steam accumulation, and improve the working environment. Sufficient lighting can provide convenience for the staff's operation and avoid operational errors due to insufficient light. A combination of natural light and artificial lighting can be adopted to ensure that the working area is brightly lit. Design of Pipeline and Electrical Systems Design of Steam and Drainage Pipelines High-pressure sterilization equipment has strict requirements for steam supply and drainage. The steam pipeline should have good thermal insulation performance to reduce the heat loss during steam transportation and ensure that the equipment obtains a stable steam pressure. The drainage pipeline should have a certain slope to avoid water accumulation and prevent the growth of microorganisms. At the same time, to avoid blockage of the drainage pipeline, a filter can be installed at the drainage port of the equipment. Safety Design of the Electrical System High-pressure sterilization equipment has a relatively large power, so it is necessary to configure an independent power supply circuit for it to prevent voltage instability caused by sharing the circuit with other equipment. The power supply lines should use cables that are resistant to high temperature and corrosion, and good grounding protection should be provided to avoid electric leakage accidents. In addition, overload protection and short-circuit protection devices should be set in the control circuit. When the equipment malfunctions, the power supply can be cut off in a timely manner to ensure the safety of the equipment and personnel. Configuration of the Intelligent Monitoring System With the rapid development of technology, the intelligent monitoring system provides a strong guarantee for the operation of high-pressure sterilization equipment. By installing sensors such as temperature, pressure, and time on the equipment, real-time monitoring of the sterilization process can be achieved, and the data can be transmitted to the monitoring terminal. The staff can remotely view the operating status of the equipment. When the sterilization parameters are abnormal, the system will immediately issue an alarm to remind the staff to deal with it. At the same time, the intelligent monitoring system can also record the operation history of the equipment, providing data support for equipment maintenance and fault diagnosis.   The engineering design of supporting facilities for high-pressure sterilization equipment in animal laboratories is a systematic project, involving many aspects such as equipment selection, space planning, and pipeline and electrical system design. Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. focuses on the field of purification equipment and has a professional technical team, which can provide you with a comprehensive solution for the supporting engineering of high-pressure sterilization equipment. From the preliminary planning to the later installation and debugging, we will follow up throughout the process to ensure the smooth operation of your animal laboratory.

Latest company case about Design Ideas for Zoned Control of Temperature and Humidity in Animal Laboratories

Design Ideas for Zoned Control of Temperature and Humidity in Animal Laboratories

  In the construction and operation of animal laboratories, precise control of temperature and humidity is of utmost importance. Different areas have varying requirements for temperature and humidity due to differences in experimental needs and animal species. A well - designed zoned control system for temperature and humidity not only ensures the health and well - being of experimental animals but also guarantees the accuracy and reliability of experimental results. Today, Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. will deeply analyze the design ideas for zoned control of temperature and humidity in animal laboratories. Why Conduct Zoned Control of Temperature and Humidity Experimental animals are extremely sensitive to environmental changes. Subtle fluctuations in temperature and humidity can affect the physiological conditions of animals, thereby interfering with experimental data. For example, high temperatures may cause animals to have an accelerated metabolism and a weakened immune system, while high humidity is likely to breed molds and trigger animal diseases. Different species of experimental animals, such as mice, rats, and guinea pigs, also have different suitable temperature and humidity ranges. In addition, different functional areas within the laboratory, such as the animal breeding area, experimental operation area, and post - operative observation area, have different requirements for temperature and humidity. Therefore, implementing zoned control can meet the specific environmental requirements of each area and enhance the scientificity and stability of experiments. Bases for Zoning and Common Area Division Zoning Based on Animal Species Different animals have different thermoregulation mechanisms and environmental adaptability. For example, the suitable temperature for mice is generally between 20 - 26°C, and the relative humidity is between 40% - 70%. Larger animals such as dogs and monkeys have slightly different suitable environments due to their body size and metabolic characteristics. Dividing temperature and humidity control areas according to animal species can provide the most suitable living environment in a targeted manner. Zoning According to Experimental Functions Breeding Area: This is the area where animals live long - term, and the temperature and humidity need to be kept stable. For animal rooms of different grades, such as clean - grade and SPF - grade rooms, the temperature is usually controlled between 22 - 25°C, and the humidity is between 50% - 60% to promote the healthy growth and reproduction of animals. Experimental Operation Area: When conducting experimental operations, the comfort of experimenters and the normal operation of experimental instruments also need to be considered. The temperature in this area can be set between 23 - 26°C, and the humidity between 45% - 65%. This not only meets human comfort requirements but also prevents malfunctions of instruments due to temperature and humidity issues. Post - operative Observation Area: Post - operative animals are physically weak and more sensitive to environmental changes. The temperature in this area should be maintained between 24 - 27°C, and the humidity should be slightly higher, between 55% - 70%, which is conducive to the post - operative recovery of animals. Temperature and Humidity Control Methods and Equipment Selection Temperature Control Air - conditioning System: A fresh - air combined air - conditioning unit is used to ensure the freshness of indoor air. For areas with special temperature requirements, a duct - type electric heating device can be installed on the air supply duct to accurately adjust the supply air temperature according to actual needs. At the same time, in combination with an intelligent control system, the refrigeration or heating power of the air - conditioning unit is automatically adjusted based on the signals fed back by indoor temperature sensors. Heating and Cooling Equipment: In some local areas, such as small animal breeding boxes, small heating plates or cooling modules can be equipped to meet the special temperature requirements of the micro - environment for specific animals. These devices should have precise temperature adjustment functions and good stability. Humidity Control Humidification Equipment: Commonly used ones include ultrasonic humidifiers and electrode - type humidifiers. In areas with low humidity, moisture is released into the air through humidifiers to increase humidity. Humidification equipment should be able to automatically control the humidification amount based on the feedback from humidity sensors to avoid over - humidification. Dehumidification Equipment: For areas with high humidity, rotary dehumidifiers or refrigeration dehumidifiers are used. Rotary dehumidifiers adsorb moisture in the air using a hygroscopic wheel, while refrigeration dehumidifiers remove moisture through the condensation principle. Similarly, dehumidification equipment needs to be linked with the humidity control system to keep the humidity within the set range. Application of Intelligent Control System An advanced intelligent control system is introduced to achieve real - time monitoring and precise regulation of temperature and humidity in various areas. High - precision temperature and humidity sensors are installed in each area, and the data is transmitted in real - time to the central control system. The control system automatically controls the operating status of air - conditioning units, humidification and dehumidification equipment, etc., based on the preset temperature and humidity ranges. When the temperature and humidity exceed the set range, the system immediately issues an alarm to remind staff to handle it in a timely manner. At the same time, the intelligent control system can record historical data, facilitating the analysis of environmental change trends and providing a basis for optimizing control strategies. The design of zoned control of temperature and humidity in animal laboratories is a comprehensive project that requires full consideration of various factors such as animal species and experimental functions. Through reasonable zoning and advanced control technologies, a stable and suitable environment can be created for experimental animals, laying a solid foundation for the smooth progress of scientific research. Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. specializes in the field of purification equipment. With rich experience and a professional technical team, we can provide you with a complete temperature and humidity control solution for animal laboratories.

Latest company case about Comprehensive Guide! Scientific Planning of Functional Zoning for Animal Laboratories

Comprehensive Guide! Scientific Planning of Functional Zoning for Animal Laboratories

    Animal laboratories play an indispensable role in fields such as life sciences and medical research. Rational planning of the functional zoning of animal laboratories not only improves experimental efficiency and ensures the accuracy of experimental results but also maximally safeguards the safety and health of experimental personnel and laboratory animals. As Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd., which has been deeply engaged in the purification equipment field for years, we've witnessed the construction and upgrading of numerous animal laboratories. Today, we're here to share scientific methods for planning the functional zoning of animal laboratories. Preliminary Research: Clarify Experimental Objectives and Scale Different experimental objectives lead to significant variations in the functional requirements of animal laboratories. If the laboratory primarily conducts drug research and development experiments, it's necessary to focus on planning areas for animal rearing, experimental operations, and sample analysis that comply with drug experiment regulations. If the focus is on behavioral research, then priority should be given to creating an experimental space conducive to observing and recording animal behavior. Meanwhile, the experimental scale determines the size of the laboratory and the area ratio of each functional zone. Through research, determine the expected types and quantities of animals to be reared, as well as the future development scale, providing data support for subsequent planning. Planning of Five Core Functional Zones 1. Animal Rearing Area This is the core area of the animal laboratory. Animals should be reared in separate zones according to their species, strains, and experimental purposes. For example, rodents, canines, and primates should be reared separately to avoid cross - infection and interference. The temperature in the rearing area should be controlled between 18 - 29°C, the relative humidity maintained at 40% - 70%, and the air exchange rate should be 10 - 20 times per hour to create a suitable environment. With the help of purification equipment from Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd., dust particles and microorganisms in the air can be effectively filtered, ensuring clean air in the rearing area and reducing the probability of animals getting sick. The lighting cycle is recommended to be set at 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness to meet the physiological rhythms of animals. 2. Experimental Operation Area The experimental operation area is where various animal experiments are carried out, including surgeries, blood sampling, and drug administration. This area needs to maintain a high level of cleanliness to reduce the impact of microbial contamination on experimental results. Through rational layout, divide it into aseptic operation areas and regular operation areas. Use air purification equipment from Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. to maintain the air cleanliness of the experimental area and prevent microbial contamination during experiments. At the same time, equip fume hoods, biosafety cabinets, and other devices to effectively exhaust harmful gases and aerosols generated during experiments, protecting the safety of experimental personnel. 3. Observation and Recording Area The observation and recording area is used to observe and record the behavior and physiological indicators of experimental animals. When designing, ensure good visibility to facilitate all - round observation of animal activities by experimental personnel. One - way glass observation windows can be set up, which neither interfere with the normal activities of animals nor allow experimental personnel to observe clearly. In addition, install monitoring equipment to achieve 24 - hour uninterrupted recording, facilitating subsequent data analysis. 4. Cleaning and Disinfection Area To prevent cross - contamination and ensure the safety of the experimental environment, the cleaning and disinfection area is essential. This area is responsible for cleaning and disinfecting experimental instruments, animal cages, and other items. Divide it into cleaning, disinfection, and drying areas, and use professional cleaning and disinfection equipment to ensure the cleanliness and sterility of experimental equipment. For example, autoclaves can be used to thoroughly sterilize heat - resistant equipment, while chemical disinfection methods can be adopted for equipment that cannot tolerate high temperatures. 5. Waste Disposal Area A large amount of waste is generated during experiments, including animal carcasses, experimental waste liquids, and disposable consumables. The waste disposal area must collect and process different types of waste in strict accordance with environmental protection requirements. Animal carcasses should be handed over to professional harmless treatment institutions. Experimental waste liquids need to undergo neutralization, precipitation, and other treatments before being discharged up to the standard. Disposable consumables should be disinfected, deformed, and then treated as medical waste. Design of Passageways and Buffer Rooms Rational design of passageways and buffer rooms can effectively control the flow of people, items, and animals, preventing cross - contamination. Set up passageways for people, animals, and items, ensuring that each passageway is independent and avoiding intersections. Install buffer rooms between different functional zones. The buffer rooms should be equipped with handwashing sinks, wardrobes, air shower equipment, etc. People and items need to be purified in the buffer rooms before entering the corresponding areas. Post - construction Maintenance and Optimization Once the animal laboratory is completed, it's not a one - time deal. Regularly inspect and maintain each functional zone to ensure the normal operation of equipment and that environmental indicators meet the requirements. At the same time, with the change in experimental demands and the development of technology, optimize and adjust the functional zoning of the laboratory in a timely manner to always meet the needs of scientific research. Scientific planning of the functional zoning of animal laboratories is the key to creating an efficient, safe, and compliant animal experimental platform.

Substrate Treatment The first step in construction is to conduct a comprehensive inspection and treatment of the floor substrate. The substrate floor should be flat, dry, and free of cracks, 空鼓 s, and other issues. We use professional tools to grind the floor, removing surface slurry and impurities to ensure that the roughness of the substrate meets requirements and enhancing the adhesion between the epoxy material and the substrate. At the same time, we fill any cracks and holes on the floor with appropriate repair materials, laying a solid foundation for subsequent construction. 2. Material and Equipment Preparation We select suitable epoxy floor materials based on the actual needs of the laboratory. Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. offers a variety of epoxy materials to ensure that the specific requirements of different animal laboratories are met. Meanwhile, we prepare all types of equipment required for construction, such as mixers, trowels, spray guns, etc., and debug the equipment to ensure it is in good working condition. III. Stringent Construction Processes 1. Primer Coating Evenly apply the prepared primer onto the treated substrate floor. Leveraging the good permeability of the primer, it penetrates deep into the substrate, enhancing the adhesion between the substrate and the intermediate coat. During the coating process, ensure that the primer is applied evenly, without any omissions or sagging. 2. Intermediate Coat Construction After the primer is completely dry, proceed with the intermediate coat construction. Mix the intermediate - coat material with an appropriate amount of quartz sand evenly and then use a trowel to apply it evenly onto the primer layer. The intermediate coat not only increases the thickness and strength of the floor but also further levels the floor, creating favorable conditions for the subsequent top - coat construction. 3. Top - Coat Construction After the intermediate coat is dry, carry out the top - coat construction. Select suitable top - coat materials according to the needs of the laboratory, such as self - leveling top - coat or matte top - coat. The self - leveling top - coat creates a smooth and flat surface, facilitating cleaning, while the matte top - coat can effectively reduce reflection, creating a more suitable experimental environment. Use a spray gun or trowel to apply the top - coat evenly onto the intermediate coat, ensuring uniform coating thickness and a smooth and flat surface. IV. Quality Inspection after Construction 1. Appearance Inspection After the construction of the epoxy floor is completed, inspect its appearance first. The floor surface should be flat, smooth, free of bubbles, cracks, sagging, and other defects. The color should be uniform and in line with the design requirements. 2. Performance Testing Use professional testing equipment to test the hardness, wear - resistance, corrosion - resistance, and other properties of the floor. All indicators must meet relevant standards and design requirements to ensure that the epoxy floor can meet the long - term use requirements of the animal laboratory. Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. not only provides high - quality epoxy floor materials but also has a professional construction team, capable of providing you with one - stop epoxy floor construction services. From preliminary scheme design to mid - term construction and installation, and then to post - construction maintenance, we will use professional technology and a rigorous attitude to create high - quality epoxy floors for your animal laboratory.

Our aim is to assist in creating professional and compliant experimental spaces. I. Walls: The First Line of Defense for Safety and Cleanliness 1. Material Selection Walls in animal laboratories should be made of non-toxic, odorless, corrosion-resistant, and easy-to-clean materials. Color-coated steel panels are commonly used. They feature a smooth surface that resists dust and microbial adhesion. Additionally, they possess excellent moisture-proof and fireproof properties, effectively withstanding the corrosion of various chemical reagents during animal experiments. Moreover, in some high - end laboratories, stainless - steel panels are employed. Their superior corrosion resistance and antibacterial properties make them better suited to complex and demanding experimental environments. 2. Design Highlights The corners of the walls should be designed with rounded edges, typically with a radius of not less than 50mm. This design eliminates sanitation blind spots, preventing dirt accumulation and facilitating daily cleaning and disinfection. Meanwhile, the joints between the walls, floors, and ceilings should be sealed to prevent water vapor, dust, and microorganisms from entering the gaps, thus avoiding cross - contamination. II. Floors: Bearing Safety and Stability 1. Material Requirements Floor materials must have the properties of being slip-resistant, wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and easy to clean. Epoxy self - leveling floors are an ideal choice for animal laboratories. Their seamless connection eliminates hiding places for dust and bacteria. Moreover, they have a high surface hardness, capable of withstanding the wear and tear caused by experimental equipment and animal activities. In addition, PVC roll floors, with their good elasticity and slip - resistance, can effectively reduce the risk of animals slipping and getting injured. They are also convenient for cleaning and maintenance. 2. Drainage Design A rational drainage system is key to floor design. The floor should have a certain slope, usually between 0.5% and 2%, ensuring that accumulated water can quickly drain towards the floor drain. The floor drain should be made of stainless steel, which is odor-proof, overflow - proof, and easy to clean. It should also be equipped with a sealing cover to prevent the escape of odors and microorganisms. III. Ceilings: Creating a Clean Space 1. Material Selection Criteria Ceiling materials should be lightweight, fireproof, moisture-proof, and easy to clean. Color-coated steel panels or aluminum alloy gusset plates are often used. Color-coated steel panel ceilings not only have good fireproof properties but also effectively prevent the growth of dust and microorganisms, maintaining the cleanliness of the laboratory. Aluminum alloy gusset plates, with their excellent moisture - proof properties and aesthetic appeal, are widely used in some animal laboratories with high environmental requirements. 2. Installation Specifications The installation of the ceiling should ensure flatness and airtightness, avoiding gaps and holes. The installation of lamps, air vents, and other equipment should be closely integrated with the ceiling to prevent dust and microorganisms from entering the interior of the ceiling and contaminating the experimental environment. IV. Doors and Windows: Ensuring the Stability of the Experimental Environment 1. Requirements for Doors Doors should be made of materials with good sealing performance and easy operation, such as stainless - steel doors or broken - bridge aluminum doors. The width of the door should meet the requirements of transporting experimental equipment and animals, generally not less than 1.2 meters. At the same time, doors should be equipped with automatic closing devices to prevent experimental animals from escaping and reduce the interference of outside air on the internal environment of the laboratory. 2. Requirements for Windows Windows should be made of double - glazed insulating glass, which can effectively soundproof and prevent heat transfer, maintaining a stable internal temperature in the laboratory.

  Barrier facilities for laboratory animals serve as a formidable fortress, safeguarding the health of laboratory animals, the accuracy of scientific research data, and the bottom line of biosafety. They play an irreplaceable and crucial role in the advancement of life science research. As a seasoned player in the purification equipment industry, Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. has always been in sync with the development of barrier facilities for laboratory animals in China. We have witnessed and propelled the booming development of this field. Now, let's review the development journey of barrier facilities for laboratory animals in China and explore their current construction status. I. Arduous Start: The Initial Stage (After the Founding of the People's Republic of China to the 1980s) In the early days after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the laboratory animal industry in China was in its infancy. The facilities for breeding laboratory animals were extremely rudimentary. Take Ningxia Medical University as an example. The laboratory animal room established in 1958 consisted of merely several brick - and - tile houses, with an area of no more than 100 square meters. The equipment was limited to simple wooden cages and clay pots. The breeding methods were simple and extensive, and there was no effective control over the quality of laboratory animals. The facilities mainly met the basic teaching needs. During this period, due to a lack of both technology and funds, the construction of barrier facilities for laboratory animals was almost non - existent. The living environment of laboratory animals could not be effectively guaranteed, which severely restricted the development of life science research in China. II. Forge Ahead: The Stage of Standardized Development (From the 1980s to the Early 21st Century) In 1988, the Regulations on the Administration of Laboratory Animals promulgated by the Ministry of Science and Technology, like a guiding light, illuminated the path for the construction of laboratory animal facilities in China, providing important legal basis and regulatory guidance. In 1994, the national standard “Environment and Facilities for Laboratory Animals” was issued in China. The environmental facilities for laboratory animals were classified into four categories: open systems, sub - barrier systems, barrier systems, and isolation systems. This initiative strongly promoted the standardization process of facility construction. Many universities and research institutions actively responded and increased their investment to build barrier facilities that met the standards. Soochow University is a typical example. During this period, it gradually improved its laboratory animal breeding and animal experiment facilities, constructing a 1500 - square - meter SPF - level barrier facility for laboratory animals. It also obtained the relevant license issued by the Jiangsu Laboratory Animal Management Committee, providing better experimental conditions for teaching and research work. Meanwhile, Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. keenly seized the opportunity of industry development, focusing on the research, development, and production of purification equipment. We provided essential equipment support for the construction of barrier facilities for laboratory animals, helping the industry move towards standardization. III. Leap - forward Development: The Stage of Rapid Advancement (Since the Early 21st Century) Entering the 21st century, life science research in China has entered a golden age of rapid development. International cooperation has become increasingly frequent, putting forward higher requirements for the construction of barrier facilities for laboratory animals. The state has increased its investment in the construction of laboratory animal facilities, and a batch of modern laboratory animal centers have emerged like mushrooms after rain. The construction project of the Animal Experiment Platform of South China University of Technology was initiated in 2016 and completed successfully in 2017. Its barrier - level laboratory animal facilities were constructed in strict accordance with the national standard GB2010 - 14925 for laboratory animal facilities in China. It is equipped with an advanced intelligent control and management system that can automatically control parameters such as temperature, humidity, and pressure difference. The system can also automatically record, collect, and store relevant data, providing precise and stable experimental conditions for animal experiments. In terms of laboratory animal welfare, China has been constantly exploring and improving. In 2006, the Guiding Opinions on Treating Laboratory Animals Kindly were officially issued, prompting the construction of facilities to pay more attention to animal welfare. This led to the optimization of animal cage designs and the improvement of the breeding environment. Relying on years of technical accumulation and innovative spirit, Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. has developed a series of high - efficiency and energy - saving purification equipment. These products are widely applied in the construction of barrier facilities for laboratory animals, significantly enhancing the purification level and operational efficiency of the facilities. We have contributed to creating a better living environment for laboratory animals. IV. Booming Development: The Current Construction Status Today, remarkable achievements have been made in the construction of barrier facilities for laboratory animals in China. More and more universities, research institutions, and enterprises have established modern laboratory animal centers. The scale of these facilities continues to expand, and their functions are constantly being improved. Geographically, regions along the eastern coast and cities rich in scientific research resources, such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, lead the country in the construction of such facilities, thanks to their strong scientific research capabilities and financial support. These facilities can not only fully meet domestic research needs but also play an important role in international cooperation. Technologically, China's technologies in air purification, environmental control, and laboratory animal welfare protection have gradually approached international advanced levels.
