Air Purification and Filtration in Animal Laboratories: Guarding the Pure Line of Defense for Scientific Research
In the field of animal experiments, every subtle environmental factor can have a profound impact on the experimental results. Today, as Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd., a manufacturer specializing in the production of purification equipment, we will delve into the crucial aspect of air purification and filtration in animal laboratories, revealing the importance and technical secrets behind it for you.
I. Why Animal Laboratories Require Strict Air Purification and Filtration
(A) Ensuring the Health of Experimental Animals
The immune systems of experimental animals are relatively fragile, and poor air quality can easily trigger various diseases. Microorganisms in the air, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungal spores, once inhaled by animals, may lead to respiratory infections, pneumonia, and other diseases, affecting the normal physiological functions of animals and the accuracy of experimental data. For example, in the experiment of gene-edited mice, if there are miscellaneous bacteria in the air, it may infect the mice and interfere with the experimental results related to gene expression, causing months of research efforts to go to waste.
(B) Ensuring the Accuracy of Experimental Results
Experiments in animal laboratories often have extremely high requirements for the environment, and even minor fluctuations in air quality can interfere with the experimental process. Dust particles in the air may carry impurities and contaminate experimental samples, leading to cell contamination in cell culture experiments and causing deviations in experimental data. In drug research and development experiments, animals inhaling unclean air may affect the drug metabolism process, mislead the evaluation of drug efficacy, and in severe cases, may even lead to the wrong research and development direction.
(C) Complying with Regulations and Industry Standards
With the continuous improvement of requirements for the welfare of experimental animals and the quality of experiments, strict regulations and industry standards have been formulated both at home and abroad to standardize the environment of animal laboratories. For example, the national standard "Experimental Animal Environment and Facilities" in China clearly stipulates the air cleanliness and other indicators of animal laboratories at different levels. Failing to meet these standards may not only result in the experimental results not being recognized but also may face legal risks.
II. Common Air Pollutants in Animal Laboratories
(A) Microbial Pollutants
Bacteria are one of the common microbial pollutants in animal laboratories, such as Staphylococcus and Escherichia coli. They widely exist in the environment and can enter the laboratory through the entry and exit of personnel, items, and the ventilation system. Viruses are also dangerous. For example, the murine hepatitis virus can spread rapidly among animal populations, causing large-scale epidemics. Fungal spores cannot be ignored either. They have strong vitality and can multiply in large numbers under suitable conditions, polluting the laboratory air.
(B) Particulate Matter Pollutants
Particulate matter in the air includes dust, pollen, hair, etc. These particulate matters not only affect the air cleanliness but may also serve as carriers of microorganisms, increasing the risk of pollution. In animal laboratories, the activities of animals will stir up a large amount of hair and dander. If not filtered in a timely manner, they will suspend in the air, interfering with experimental operations and posing a threat to the health of animals.
(C) Harmful Gas Pollutants
The metabolism of animals will produce harmful gases such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide. If these gases accumulate in the laboratory, they will not only have a pungent odor but also irritate the respiratory tract of animals, affecting the health of animals and the experimental results. In addition, the organic waste gases volatilized from some chemical reagents used in the laboratory, such as formaldehyde and benzene, also pose a hazard to the experimental environment and the health of personnel.

Standard Humidity in Animal Laboratories: Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. Helps Create a Suitable Environment for Animal Survival and Experiments
Animal laboratories, as crucial places for conducting various animal experiments, have environmental conditions that play a vital and decisive role in the health, physiological state of experimental animals, and the accuracy of experimental results. Among these, humidity is an important environmental factor that cannot be ignored. As a professional constructor, Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd. deeply understands and strictly adheres to the standard humidity requirements for animal laboratories during the construction process, and is committed to creating an ideal experimental environment for scientific researchers.
I. The Significant Impact of Humidity on Experimental Animals
A. Impact on Animal Health
Appropriate humidity helps maintain the normal physiological functions of experimental animals. Excessively high humidity will make the animals' perceived body temperature rise, and it will be difficult for them to dissipate heat, leading to heat stress reactions in animals, a decrease in immunity, and an increased susceptibility to diseases. For example, in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment, mice are prone to symptoms such as difficulty breathing and decreased appetite, and microorganisms like bacteria and molds are more likely to breed, increasing the risk of animals getting sick. Conversely, too low humidity will dry out the respiratory mucosa of animals, causing respiratory diseases. For instance, rats may experience problems such as bleeding and cracking of the nasal cavity and respiratory mucosa.
B. Interference with Animal Behavior and Physiological Rhythms
Changes in humidity can affect the behavior and physiological rhythms of animals. Some animals are sensitive to humidity. When the humidity is not suitable, their activity levels, food intake, and sleep time will all change. For example, rabbits will become restless and less active in a high-humidity environment; while in a low-humidity environment, their fur will become rough, and they will increase grooming behavior. These changes in behavior and physiological rhythms may interfere with the accuracy of experimental results and cause deviations in experimental data.
C. Impact on the Accuracy of Experimental Results
For some experiments that require precise control of the physiological state of animals, fluctuations in humidity may have a significant impact on the experimental results. In drug research and development experiments, the physiological state of animals has an important influence on the processes of drug absorption, metabolism, and excretion. Humidity changes may alter the physiological state of animals, thus affecting the evaluation of drug efficacy. For another example, in genetic experiments, inappropriate humidity may affect the gene expression and genetic stability of animals, resulting in unreliable experimental results.
II. Standard Humidity Requirements for Different Types of Experimental Animals
A. Rodents
Rodents such as mice and rats are the most commonly used experimental animals in animal laboratories. The suitable relative humidity range for them is generally between 40% and 70%. Within this humidity range, the physiological functions of rodents can be normally exerted, and their health conditions are good. For example, when cultivating and researching transgenic mice, maintaining appropriate humidity helps with the growth, development, and reproduction of the mice, ensuring the smooth progress of the experiment.
B. Rabbits
Rabbits have relatively strict requirements for humidity. The suitable relative humidity is generally between 40% and 60%. Excessively high humidity is likely to cause skin diseases and respiratory diseases in rabbits because rabbits have long and dense fur, and bacteria and fungi are likely to breed in a high-humidity environment. While too low humidity may dry out the skin and respiratory mucosa of rabbits, causing discomfort.
C. Dogs and Primates
The suitable relative humidity range for dogs is usually between 30% and 70%, and for primates such as rhesus monkeys, the suitable relative humidity is generally between 40% and 65%. These larger experimental animals have a relatively wider adaptability range to humidity, but it is still necessary to keep the humidity within an appropriate range to ensure their health and the accuracy of the experiments. For example, when conducting cardiovascular disease experiments on dogs, appropriate humidity helps maintain the normal function of the dog's cardiovascular system and reduces the interference of environmental factors on the experimental results.
