 Laboratory Biosafety in Rodent Biocontainment
Rodent biocontainment environments encompass a number of engineering, design, safety, equipment, and ventilation considerations.
The rapid growth in funding for research and vaccine development for infectious diseases and pathogens is causing academic, government, and private research institutions to look for new biocontainment facility and equipment solutions. For some institutions, the solution to the growing demand for biocontainment facilities is space conversion or upgrade, an undertaking further impacted by existing building systems.
The term “biocontainment” is used to describe safe methods for managing infectious materials or agents, including those specific to mice and rats, in the laboratory and animal facility where they are being handled or maintained. Biocontainment reduces or eliminates exposure of laboratory staff and the macro-environment to potentially hazardous agents.
