Why Do I Need It?
Researchers, Lab Technicians, Facilities Managers and Administrators Explain:
Shelby, Program Support Supervisor
As a supervisor for a 27-rodent room facility, I can testify to the need for such a piece of equipment. There are several reasons which would justify the need for every room to have one. Read more.
Tena, Executive Assistant to the Director
I think this is a really great idea that in my opinion will revolutionize the current method of maintaining and SPF colony. It removes a lot of potential for human error and makes the job of working with or maintaining an SPF colony much more manageable. Read more.
Ron, Program Support Supervisor II
Because of the high usage of our hoods, we would definitely benefit from having an SPF Misting Station for each of the hoods in our rooms. Read more.
Steve, Program Support Supervisor II
It saves time, fully disinfects and is easy to use. It also decreases the risk of contamination in the animal room. Read more.
Pam, Facilities Director, Comparative Medicine
We have interest in this unit because the coverage of disinfectant is more uniform than hand spraying, it is more efficient and time saving as well as the fact that it eliminates the ergonomic issues of hand spraying each and every cage before it is changed. Read more.
Denny, Professor and Chair
...in any animal facility two of our main concerns are labor costs (70-80% of our cost) and disease outbreaks (which can be financially devastating to investigators). The SPF Misting Station could potentially impact both in that it would make it easier and faster to disinfect bulky cages. Read more.
Melvin, Professor
In addition to the labor saving advantage, it is possible that making the operation more efficient might mean that we would need less change stations. This could be a considerable savings for animal facilities. Read more.
