Microbial clean laboratory is an indispensable part of scientific research, and its decoration design is directly related to the operation efficiency of the laboratory and the reliability of research results. In this article, the laboratory design company shares the layout and design and decoration requirements of the microbial clean laboratory, including the layout of the laboratory, the personal purification route, the material purification route, the location of the computer room, the pipeline organization, and the safety evacuation.
1. Layout design of microbial clean laboratory
The layout design of the clean laboratory is the basis of the entire laboratory decoration. A reasonable floor plan can effectively separate the different functional areas and reduce the possibility of cross-contamination. In the design of a microbiological clean laboratory, the size, shape, and experimental process of the laboratory need to be considered. Generally, the layout of a clean laboratory should include a sample preparation area, an experimental operation area, an instrument and equipment area, and a sample storage area.
2. Personal purification route and material purification route
People and materials are one of the most important sources of contamination in clean laboratories. Therefore, in the design of microbial clean laboratory, the design of personal purification route and material purification route is very important. Personnel need to be physically decontaminated through the decontamination channel before entering the laboratory to reduce the introduction of external contaminants. At the same time, it is necessary to set up material import and export, and establish a material purification process to ensure that the experimental materials have been fully purified before entering the laboratory to prevent pollution of the experimental environment.
3. Selection of the location of the computer room
The computer room plays a key role in the microbiology clean laboratory. The choice of location, as well as the layout of its features, are critical to the operational efficiency and safety of the laboratory. In the floor plan design, the location of the computer room should be well thought out, and the following aspects need to be considered:
1) Distance from the experimental area: The location of the computer room should be as close to the experimental area as possible to reduce the length and loss of the equipment pipeline. This helps to reduce energy consumption, improve the operational efficiency of the equipment, and reduce the risk of potential failures. At the same time, the equipment room should be far away from areas that may generate pollution sources to ensure the stability and reliability of the equipment.
2) Ventilation and air quality: The location of the computer room also needs to take into account the setting of the ventilation system. Ensure that the room is well ventilated and connected to the laboratory's air quality control system. This helps prevent overheating or overloading inside the room and effectively removes gases or particulate matter that could contaminate the experimental area.
3) Space utilization efficiency: In the functional layout of the computer room, it is necessary to reasonably arrange the placement of instruments and equipment to maximize the use of limited space. The location of the equipment should be reasonably arranged according to the frequency of use of the equipment and the operation process, and sufficient spacing between the equipment should be ensured to facilitate maintenance and operation.
Fourth, pipeline organization
Pipeline organization is an important part of the operation of the microbiological clean laboratory, which affects the normal operation of the laboratory equipment and the smooth progress of the experimental process. In the design of a microbiological clean laboratory, the following aspects need to be considered in the pipeline organization:
1) Zoning and grading: According to the function and purpose of the pipeline, the pipeline should be zoned and graded. For example, gas lines, liquid lines, power lines, etc., can be separated according to function for easy maintenance and management. In the layout design, it is necessary to avoid the intersection and mixing of pipelines with different functions to ensure that the pipelines are clearly identifiable.
2) Clear identification: For different types of pipelines, clear identification should be carried out, including pipeline use, fluid medium, flow direction and other information. Clear markings help operators quickly identify pipelines and avoid operator errors and accidents.
3) Reasonable direction: The direction of the pipeline should be as concise and intuitive as possible, and avoid excessive bends and corners to reduce pipeline resistance and energy loss. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the layout of the pipeline meets the actual situation and operational needs of the laboratory.
4) Easy maintenance: In the layout of the pipeline, the convenience of maintenance and repair should be taken into account. Maintenance openings and maintenance channels should be set up for important pipelines to facilitate regular inspection and maintenance operations by maintenance personnel. In addition, it should also be equipped with corresponding maintenance tools and equipment to improve maintenance efficiency.
