Working in a modern rodent animal laboratory facility raises several challenges regarding the health and safety of animal care staff and researchers, as well as the animals they work with. The most prominent risk to animal care staff and researchers is developing a laboratory animal allergy (LAA). Previous studies have shown between 10-45% of the people working in a lab animal environment will develop a mouse or rat allergy. Animal transfer stations and biosafety cabinets are an effective solution for vivarium workers that need protection from animal allergens, as well as instrumentation that provides good animal husbandry and care of animals. These containment instruments also minimize infection risk of personnel and positively impact study results, if used correctly.
