What is a Vivarium Room? The word "vivarium" comes from the Latin words for "place for" and "living things." In short,. That can be anything from a heated glass box for a bearded dragon on a kid's desk, to Biosphere 2. In the scientific community, vivarium rooms can also be called animal research facilities, and their purpose is to house animals and/or plants under conditions simulating a natural environment. These types of microecosystems are crucial for observing plants or animals in a specific environment, or humanely housing animals who are being tested for research purposes. Important Environmental Controls in Vivarium Rooms in Baltimore, MD There are a variety of environmental controls required for a well-functioning vivarium room. For your research purposes in Baltimore, MD, you'll need to ensure the controlled environment room is capable of meeting them all: Lighting — Different organisms have adapted to different types of lighting and heating. "Cold-blooded" animals warm themselves with external heat like the sun, while other life forms rarely see the light of day. Different bulbs offer different levels and types of heat and light, and we can also offer a controller to simulate night and day. Temperature and Humidity — In a similar vein, some animals have little tolerance for high humidity and temperature, while others need it to thrive. Heat can be provided through a building's system or heat lamps. Air Flow — Proper air flow is imperative for circulating air, preventing mold build-up, reducing the growth of damaging bacteria, and balancing the air flow between the holding room and vivarium room. There are numerous exhaust fan options available, depending on the temperature and humidity of the room in question. An organism's physical environment plays a vital role in their well-being.
