In fields such as life science research, pharmaceutical development, and disease prevention and control, animal laboratories play a crucial role. To ensure the health of experimental animals and the accuracy of experimental data, strict compliance with industry standards serves as the cornerstone of animal laboratory operations. Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd., deeply engaged in the field of purification equipment and cleanroom engineering, fully understands the significance of purification equipment in enabling animal laboratories to meet industry standards. Today, we will provide a detailed analysis of how purification equipment plays a key role.

Experimental animals are extremely sensitive to air quality. Pollutants in the air, such as dust and harmful gases, can affect the health of animals and, in turn, interfere with experimental results. High - Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters and Ultra - Low Penetration Air (ULPA) filters are core components of purification equipment for ensuring air quality. They can efficiently filter out tiny particles ≥0.3μm in the air, with a filtration efficiency of over 99.99%, effectively removing contaminants such as dust, bacteria, and viruses, thus creating a clean breathing environment for experimental animals.

In addition, the ventilation system is also an important part of purification equipment. A reasonably designed ventilation system can control the direction of air flow and the number of air changes, ensuring the orderly flow of air in the laboratory and preventing cross - contamination between different areas. Take barrier - environment animal laboratories as an example. Through the rational organization of air supply, return air, and exhaust air, the laboratory can maintain a positive or negative pressure state, preventing external pollutants from entering or internal harmful gases from diffusing, and strictly meeting the air quality requirements specified in Laboratory Animals - Environment and Facilities (GB 14925 - 2010).

Stable and suitable temperature and humidity are essential for the healthy growth of experimental animals and the smooth progress of experiments. Different types of experimental animals have varying requirements for temperature and humidity. For example, the suitable temperature for mice is 20 - 26°C, and the relative humidity is 40 - 70%; for dogs, the suitable temperature is 18 - 26°C, and the relative humidity is 40 - 70%.

The temperature and humidity control system in purification equipment can monitor and precisely regulate the laboratory environment in real - time. Data is collected through temperature and humidity sensors, and combined with an intelligent control system, it automatically adjusts the cooling, heating, humidifying, and dehumidifying functions of the air - conditioning unit to maintain the temperature and humidity within the standard range. This not only helps reduce the stress response of experimental animals and ensures the stability of their physiological indicators but also meets the strict regulations of industry standards for the environmental conditions of animal laboratories, providing strong support for the reliability of experimental results.

Microbial contamination poses a significant challenge to animal laboratories. Once cross - infection occurs, it can not only affect the health of experimental animals but also lead to the failure of the entire experiment. Purification equipment plays multiple roles in microbial protection.

On the one hand, the high - efficiency air - filtration system can intercept microorganisms in the air, reducing their concentration in the laboratory. On the other hand, purification equipment can be used in conjunction with disinfection and sterilization devices. For example, ultraviolet disinfection lamps and ozone generators can regularly disinfect the laboratory air and object surfaces, killing residual bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. In addition, the application of laminar flow purification technology in animal laboratories creates a unidirectional parallel air flow, reducing the suspension and diffusion of microorganisms in the space, further reducing the risk of infection for experimental animals and ensuring that the microbial control in the laboratory meets relevant standard requirements.

Animal laboratories generate various types of waste, including animal excreta, used bedding, and discarded experimental reagents. If not properly disposed of, it can not only pollute the environment but also spread diseases. The waste disposal system in purification equipment can safely and effectively handle these wastes.

For example, bio - safety autoclaves can subject pathogen - containing waste to high - temperature and high - pressure sterilization treatment, making it harmless before discharge or disposal. There are also specialized waste gas treatment devices that can adsorb, neutralize, and otherwise treat harmful gases generated during the experimental process, ensuring that the discharged gases meet environmental protection standards, avoiding pollution to the surrounding environment, and practicing the industry's green and environmentally friendly principles.
