Effects of Suspension of Air-Conditioning on Airtight-Type Racks

摘要

Although isolation racks are superior to open-type racks in terms of securing breeding conditions for laboratory animals, the contingency-proofing capability of the former has yet to be determined. Therefore, from the view of risk management. We studied the environmental change in isolation racks by forcibly suspending ventilation and air- conditioning and confirming the maximal time length for complete recovery to the original condition after restarting their operations. The isolation racks were placed in a room that was equipped with an independent air-conditioning system.
