What is a Vivarium Room? The word "vivarium" comes from the Latin words for "place for" and "living things." In short,. That can include anything from a heated glass box for a reptile on a teenager's desk, to the penguinarium at the Prague Zoo. In the scientific community, vivarium rooms can also be called animal research facilities, and their purpose is to store animals and/or plants in a specific, controlled environment. These microecosystems are a fundamental aspect of observing plants or animals under certain conditions, or humanely housing experimental animals. Things to Keep in Mind When Purchasing a Vivarium Room in Vancouver, BC There are numerous environmental controls needed for a well-functioning vivarium room. For your facility in Vancouver, BC, you'll need to ensure your controlled environment room is capable of meeting them all: Light — Different plants and animals need different levels and types of lighting that meet their adapted needs. Ectotherms 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 your vivarium room may need a regulator to replicate light and dark periods. Temperature and Humidity — In a similar vein, some animals have little tolerance for high humidity and temperature, while others need it to survive. Heat can be sourced from a building's system or special lamps. Ventilation — Ventilation is essential for circulating air, preventing mold build-up, preventing the spread of damaging bacteria, and equalizing the ventilation between the vivarium room and other areas of your facility. 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 habitat is as important as anything to keeping them healthy. You require an impeccable vivarium room to ensure not just the health of your specimens, but the integrity of your Vancouver, BC research.
