CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES AND EQUIPMENT
The type of animal cage used can aid in controlling the causative agents of allergies and zoonosis. Cages are available that provide HEPA filtered air on the intake and exhaust of the rack.
Rodent cages may be changed under laminar flow air work benches or hoods where the intake or exhaust air (or both) can be filtered.
The animal room may also utilize laminar flow air and filtered air to further diminish risks associated with allergens and zoonosis.
