What Are Vivarium Rooms? Latin for "place of life," a vivarium is an artificially built space to hold living organisms, whether they be plants or animals. That can include anything from a tarantula cage in a teenager's room, to Biosphere 2. In the scientific community, vivarium rooms can also be called animal research facilities, and they are used to house animals and/or plants under conditions simulating a natural environment. These microecosystems are a fundamental facet of observing organisms under certain conditions, or safely housing animals who are being tested for research purposes. Aspects to Consider When Getting a Vivarium Room in Oakland, CA There are several environmental controls needed to keep a vivarium room functioning properly. For your needs in Oakland, CA, you need to know that your controlled environment room can properly maintain: Light — Different organisms have grown accustomed to different levels of light and heat. "Cold-blooded" animals need sunlight to warm themselves, while some plants do best in the shade. Simulating the right light can take different types of bulbs, and your vivarium room may need a regulator to simulate light and dark periods. Temperature and Humidity — In a similar vein, different animals and plants can only survive with a temperature and humidity similar to their natural habitat. Heat can be provided through an HVAC system or heat lamps. Ventilation — Ventilation is essential for circulating air, preventing mold accumulation, stopping the proliferation of hazardous bacteria, and balancing the air flow between the vivarium room and other areas of your facility. There are a variety of exhaust fan options we can fit for your room, depending on the temperature and humidity of the room in question. An organism's habitat is as important as anything to keeping them healthy. You require an impeccable vivarium room to ensure the integrity of both your specimens and research in Oakland, CA.
