Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bioengineering, and specifically relates to a laboratory layout structure for a secondary protective barrier in a biosafety level 3 laboratory. Background Technology

[0002] A Level 3 (P3) biosafety laboratory is a high-level biosafety laboratory. It handles infectious microorganisms that pose a high individual hazard but a low population hazard, meaning they are highly dangerous to humans, animals, plants, or the environment. These microorganisms can cause serious or even fatal diseases in humans through direct contact or aerosol transmission, or are highly pathogenic agents that pose a significant risk to animals, plants, and the environment, such as SARS coronavirus, typhoid bacillus, and rickettsiae. Preventive and treatment measures are usually in place. For example, the applicant disclosed a biosafety laboratory layout structure in patent application CN206769475U, which includes a first P3 core area and a second P3 core area. This laboratory is a Level 3 biosafety laboratory.

[0003] However, existing biosafety level 3 (BSL-3) laboratories still have some shortcomings that need improvement: 1) The first personnel protection zone is flawed in the existing technology. 2) The existing technology lacks a maximum positive pressure protection corridor. 3) The second personnel protection zone is inadequate in the existing technology. 4) The existing technology does not scientifically integrate BSL-3 and ABSL-3 simultaneously. 5) The air pressure gradient design of each auxiliary functional room is unreasonable in the existing technology. 6) The material flow in and out of the laboratory is complex. For example, incoming materials include animals, items, feed, and samples, while outgoing materials include animal carcasses, discarded instruments, and waste. Existing laboratory technologies do not strictly control the breakdown of material flow based on more detailed and specific circumstances.

[0004] The layout of auxiliary rooms within the secondary protective barrier differs, as do the ventilation system pressure settings in each auxiliary room, the overall airflow patterns within the laboratory, and the configuration of the sterilization and disinfection systems. This also affects the frequency of personnel movement across boundaries and the turbulence of airflow near the work surfaces of biosafety cabinets. Overall, this results in variations in the stability of laboratory safety, functionality, comfort, and cleanliness.

[0005] In view of the above, this invention develops a secondary protective barrier technology for biosafety level 3 laboratories to improve the reliability and safety of the secondary protective barrier and promote the advancement of the design and construction of high-level biosafety laboratories in my country.

[0056] In the laboratory layout structure of this invention, the flow of materials in and out is divided into "materials (samples) flow, animal flow, and waste flow". Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the logistics entry and exit process of the BSL-3 core experimental area in this embodiment of the invention. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the logistics entry and exit process of the ABSL-3 core experimental area in this embodiment of the invention. Solid black arrows in the diagram represent logistics entry, and hollow white arrows represent logistics exit.

[0057] See Figure 4 In the BSL-3 biosafety level 3 laboratory, the process for items and samples to enter is as follows: as shown by the solid black arrow in the figure, external items and samples first enter the first preparation and cleaning room 13, and then are disinfected in the first hydrogen peroxide transfer chamber 11 before entering the BSL-3 core experimental area 10.

[0058] See Figure 4 The waste outflow process in the BSL-3 biosafety level 3 laboratory is as follows: as shown by the hollow white arrow in the figure, the waste in the BSL-3 core experimental area 10 first enters the double-door autoclave 12 for autoclaving and sterilization, then passes through the first preparation and cleaning room 13, and is finally transported out.

[0059] See Figure 5 In the ABSL-3 Level 3 Animal Biosafety Laboratory, the procedure for items entering the laboratory is as shown by arrow group b in the figure. External items first enter the second preparation and cleaning room 25, then are disinfected in the second hydrogen peroxide transfer chamber 22, and then enter the ABSL-3 core experimental area 16.

[0060] See Figure 5 The animal entry process in the ABSL-3 Level 3 Animal Biosafety Laboratory is as follows: as shown by arrow group a in the figure, the animal first enters the animal pre-room 24, then passes through the animal safety receiving station 21 for dust removal and sterilization, enters the animal quarantine room 18 for quarantine, and finally enters the ABSL-3 core experimental area 16.

[0061] See Figure 5 In the ABSL-3 Level 3 Animal Biosafety Laboratory, the feed bedding material enters the following process: as shown by arrow group c in the figure, the feed bedding material first enters the second preparation and cleaning room 25, then undergoes high-pressure sterilization in the step-type double-door autoclave 23, and finally enters the ABSL-3 core experimental area.

[0062] See Figure 5The process for removing animal carcasses and scrapped instruments and equipment in the ABSL-3 Level 3 Animal Biosafety Laboratory is as follows: As shown by arrow group d in the figure, after the experiment in the ABSL-3 core experimental area 16, the animal carcasses and scrapped instruments and equipment first enter the animal remains storage room 20, then undergo high-pressure sterilization in the step-type double-door high-pressure sterilizer 23, and then pass through the preparation and cleaning room before finally being transported out.

[0063] <Example 2>

[0064] This embodiment further optimizes the wind pressure values ​​of the ventilation systems in each functional room based on the laboratory layout structure of the Level 3 biosafety laboratory with a secondary protective barrier in Embodiment 1, so as to form a scientific and reasonable airflow direction inside the laboratory layout structure, thereby improving its indoor cleanliness and biosafety.

[0065] In the positive pressure auxiliary protection zone, the wind pressure values ​​of male first changing room 1 and female first changing room 4 are both +10 Pa. The wind pressure values ​​of male shower room 3 and female shower room 6 are both +15 Pa. The wind pressure values ​​of male second changing room 2 and female second changing room 5 are both +20 Pa. The wind pressure value of the protective corridor 7 is higher than that of male second changing room 2 and female second changing room 5. Therefore, the airflow can only flow from the positive pressure protective corridor 7 towards the first changing room. As a result, outdoor dust particles, microorganisms, etc., cannot flow into the positive pressure auxiliary protection zone, thus ensuring the cleanliness of all functional rooms in the biosafety level 3 laboratory. The highest wind pressure value of the protective corridor 7 is +30 Pa, and the protective corridor 7 is surrounded on three sides by the isolation negative pressure protection zone. The protective corridor 7 is the area with the highest wind pressure value in the entire laboratory layout structure. Therefore, the airflow flows from the positive pressure protective corridor to the negative pressure protection zone, effectively helping to prevent harmful biological agents inside the core experimental area from escaping and leaking out, thus contaminating the external environment. The air pressure values ​​of the first preparation and cleaning room 13, the animal anteroom 24, and the second preparation and cleaning room 25 are all +10Pa.

[0066] In the negative pressure protection zone, the air pressure values ​​of the first protective clothing changing room 8 and the second protective clothing changing room 14 are both -15 Pa. The air pressure values ​​of the first air shower room 9 and the second air shower room 15 are both -25 Pa. The lowest air pressure value of the BSL-3 core experimental area 10 is -40 Pa, which is lower than the air pressure value of the first air shower room 9. Airflow can only flow into the BSL-3 core experimental area, effectively preventing harmful biological agents inside the BSL-3 core experimental area from escaping and leaking out and polluting the external environment. The air pressure value of the ABSL-3 core experimental area 16 is lower than the air pressure value of the second air shower room 15. Airflow can only flow into the ABSL-3 core experimental area, effectively preventing harmful biological agents inside the ABSL-3 core experimental area from escaping and leaking out and polluting the external environment. The air pressure value of the ABSL-3 core experimental area is lower than that of the BSL-3 core experimental area, with the lowest air pressure value of the ABSL-3 core experimental area 16 being -80 Pa. The air pressure value of the buffer room 17 is -55 Pa. The wind pressure values ​​of the animal quarantine room 18, the temporary storage room 19, and the animal carcass storage room 20 are all -70Pa.

[0067] In this embodiment, the laboratory layout structure of the Level 3 biosafety laboratory with secondary protective barriers ensures that harmful biological agents cannot leak out of the laboratory by setting reasonable pressure gradients for each functional room, and that the overall cleanliness of the laboratory meets the national standard cleanliness requirements.
