What is a Vivarium Room? 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 heated glass box for a reptile on a kid's desk, to the dolphinarium at Sea World. In the scientific community, vivarium rooms are also referred to as animal research facilities, and their purpose is to maintain animals and/or plants in a specific, controlled ecosystem. These microecosystems are a fundamental aspect of observing organisms in a specific environment, or safely housing animals who are being tested for research purposes. Important Environmental Controls in Vivarium Rooms in Fort Collins, CO There are a variety of environmental controls required to keep a vivarium room functioning properly. For your facility in Fort Collins, CO, you'll need to ensure your controlled environment room can properly maintain: Light — Different life forms need different levels and types of lighting that meet their adapted needs. "Cold-blooded" animals need sunlight to warm themselves, while some plants do best in the shade. Different bulbs offer different levels and types of heat and light, and we can also offer a regulator to simulate night and day. Temperature and Humidity — Similarly, some animals cannot handle high humidity and temperature, while others need it to survive. Heat can be provided through your facility's system or special lamps. Air Quality — Ventilation is imperative for circulating air, preventing mold accumulation, preventing the proliferation of damaging bacteria, and stabilizing 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 plays a vital role in their health. You need an impeccable vivarium room to guarantee not just the health of your specimens, but the validity of your Fort Collins, CO research.
