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饲养能力，目前VA资助的研究人员还没有这种能力。 RAIR HD Super Mouse 1800（tm）笼式通风动物饲养系统 RAIR HD Super Mouse 1800（tm）是一种节能、易于使用、高密度通风的小鼠动物饲养系统，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 层流净化器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到清洁微隔离器，而不会破坏隔离环境的完整性。 Edstrom不锈钢自动动物饮水系统 减压站配备自动冲洗和监控功能。 VA资助的研究项目将使用设备： 阿兰·理查森博士 VA实验室2 R102 过表达Cu/Zn超氧化物歧化酶是否延缓啮齿动物衰老- VA BLR&D 冬青VanRemmen博士 VA实验室2 R115 测试NMJ中断导致肌肉减少症的机制- VA BLR&D 罗伯特·哈尔·斯科菲尔德医学博士 VA实验室1 R109 自身免疫性疾病中的性染色体非整倍体 Courtney Houchen，医学博士 VA实验室3R 114 胃肠道干细胞对损伤的反应- VA BLR&D Jordan Metcalf，医学博士 VA实验室1 R111 香烟烟雾的抗病毒免疫抑制作用- VA BLR&D

 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.
