What Are Vivarium Rooms? Latin for "place of life," a vivarium is an enclosed area where animals and/or plants can live in conditions similar to their natural habitat. That can include anything from a small aquarium on a kid's desk, to Biosphere 2. For research purposes, vivarium rooms are also referred to as animal research facilities, and their purpose is to store animals and/or plants under conditions simulating a natural environment. These kinds of microecosystems are essential for observing life under certain conditions, or humanely housing experimental animals. Important Aspects of Vivarium Rooms in Waco, TX There are several environmental controls needed for a well-functioning vivarium room. For your facility in Waco, TX, you'll need to ensure your controlled environment room can properly sustain: Light — Different life forms have adapted to different types of lighting and heating. Reptiles, amphibians, and other animals need sunlight to warm themselves, 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 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 your facility's system or heat lamps. Ventilation — Ventilation is essential for circulating air, stopping mold build-up, stopping the spread of harmful bacteria, and stabilizing 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 what works best for you. An organism's habitat plays a fundamental role in their well-being. You need a precise vivarium room to guarantee not just the health of your specimens, but the integrity of your Waco, TX research.
