How to Design P2 Laboratory

The P2 laboratory is mainly composed of four parts: generally divided into  P2 main laboratory, first changing room, second chaning room and washing room. Considering that the biological laboratory should implement the requirements of clean area and non-clean area at the same time, the clean area is mainly reflected in the layout and maintenance structure of the microbial experiment area, and the non-clean area is mainly reflected in the air conditioning purification system.

In terms of layout, the flow of people and logistics are separated to prevent cross-infection of people and objects, that is, the experimental operator enters the P2 main laboratory through a buffer room and a second buffer room, and the experimental objects are transferred through two interlocking The windows enter and exit the P2 main laboratory. One interlocking transfer window is located between the main laboratory and the preparation room, and the other is located between the main laboratory and the washing room to ensure that the clean objects are not infected and pollution. The objects are cleaned as soon as possible.

1. P2 laboratory decoration

The frame of the main body can be partitioned by color steel plate glass. The burning performance of the color steel plate is non-combustible. The thickness of the partition glass is 5 mm. In order to prevent dust deposition, aluminum alloy arc pressure wires can be used for window materials. The aluminum alloy should be used for the inside of all connections. The inner rounded corners and the exposed connecting wires also need to be connected with aluminum alloy outer rounded corners. The ceiling material can be a color steel plate. The indoor floor is made of epoxy resin, which has no gaps and is also very resistant to corrosion.

2. The basic configuration of P2 laboratory

2.1. The cleanroom needs to be equipped with 2 transfer windows to ensure the cleanliness of laboratory logistics. There is a UV lamp in the transfer window, which can sterilize the contaminated items before taking it out of the laboratory, ensuring the isolation of outdoor and indoor air. The transfer window can be controlled indoors and outdoors, reducing the number of laboratory personnel entering and leaving the laboratory. , Which facilitates the delivery of items for experimenters.
