Environmental Housing with Automatic Watering System

 描述(由申请人提供)： OKCVAMC目前没有拟议的专门环境住房单元。研究计划成功发展的关键是需要最先进的动物收容所能力，这是退伍军人管理局资助的研究人员目前无法获得的。 Rair HD超级鼠标1800(Tm)笼式通风动物舍系统 RAIR HD超级鼠标1800(Tm)是一种高能效、易于使用、高密度通风的老鼠动物住所系统，可为实验室研究动物和实验室人员提供笼级微环境保护。 Stay-Clean(TM)L/F工作台 层流工作台是一个完整的便携式系统，用于操作、处理和转移实验室动物以清洁微型隔离器，而不会破坏隔离环境的完整性。 埃德斯特龙不锈钢自动动物浇水系统 减压站配备自动冲洗和监控功能。 退伍军人管理局资助的研究项目将使用设备： Arlan Richardson博士，弗吉尼亚州实验室2R102 过度表达铜/锌超氧化物歧化酶能否延缓啮齿动物的衰老--VA BLR&D Holly VanRemman，博士，弗吉尼亚州实验室2R115 测试NMJ破坏对SarCopenia-VA BLR&D的作用机制 罗伯特·哈尔·斯科菲尔德，弗吉尼亚州医学博士实验室1R109 自身免疫性疾病中的性染色体异常--VA、BLR和D Courtney Houchen，医学博士，弗吉尼亚州实验室3R114 胃肠干细胞对损伤的反应--VA BLR&D 乔丹·梅特卡夫医学博士弗吉尼亚州实验室1R111 香烟烟雾-VA BLR&D的抗病毒免疫抑制作用

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed specialized environmental housing units currently are not available at OKCVAMC. Critical to the successful growth of the research program is the need for state-of-the-art animal housing capabilities that currently are not available to VA funded investigators. RAIR HD Super Mouse 1800(tm) Cage Ventilated Animal Housing System The RAIR HD Super Mouse 1800(tm) is an energy efficient, easy to use, high density ventilated animal housing system for mice that provides cage level micro environmental protection to both laboratory research animals and laboratory personnel. Stay-Clean(tm) L/F Workbench The Laminar Flow Workbench is a complete and portable system used for the manipulation, handling and transferring of laboratory animals to clean Micro-Isolators without breaking the integrity of the isolation environment. Edstrom Stainless Steel Automated Animal Watering System Pressure Reducing Stations equipped with auto flush and monitoring features.
