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 a range of functions and sizes, from a heated glass box for a reptile on a teenager's desk, to the penguinarium at the Prague Zoo. For research purposes, vivarium rooms are also known as animal research facilities, and they are used to house animals and/or plants in a specific, controlled environment. These microecosystems are crucial for observing organisms in a specific environment, or safely housing experimental animals. Important Aspects of Vivarium Rooms in Kansas City, MO There are numerous environmental controls required to keep a vivarium room functioning properly. For your facility in Kansas City, MO, you need to know that the controlled environment room is capable of meeting them all: Light — Different plants and animals have adapted to different levels of light and heat. "Cold-blooded" animals need sunlight to keep their bodies warm, while other life forms rarely see the light of day. Simulating the right light can take different types of bulbs, and your vivarium room may need a controller to simulate light and dark periods. Temperature and Humidity — Similarly, different life forms have adapted to different temperature and humidity levels. Heat can be sourced from your facility's system or special lamps. Ventilation — Proper air flow is imperative for circulating air, stopping mold build-up, stopping the proliferation of damaging bacteria, and balancing the ventilation between the holding room and vivarium room. There are numerous exhaust fan options available, depending on your needs. An organism's habitat plays a fundamental role in their health.
