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 be a range of functions and sizes, from a tarantula cage in a kid's room, 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 kinds of microecosystems are crucial for observing plants or animals under certain conditions, or safely housing animals who are being used for research purposes. Things to Keep in Mind When Purchasing a Vivarium Room in Toronto, ON There are numerous environmental controls required for a well-functioning vivarium room. For your facility in Toronto, ON, you need to know that your controlled environment room is capable of meeting them all: Light — Different life forms have grown accustomed to different levels of light and heat. Ectotherms need sunlight to keep their bodies warm, 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 controller to simulate light and dark periods. Temperature and Humidity — In a similar vein, some animals cannot handle high humidity and temperature, while others need it to thrive. Heat can be sourced from an HVAC system or special lamps. Air Flow — Proper air flow is imperative for circulating air, preventing mold growth, preventing the growth of hazardous bacteria, and stabilizing the ventilation between the holding room and vivarium room. There are numerous exhaust fan options we can fit for your room, depending on the temperature and humidity of the room in question. A life form's physical environment plays a fundamental role in their health. You need an impeccable vivarium room to guarantee not just the health of your specimens, but the integrity of your Toronto, ON research.
