In compliance with the latest regulatory requirements, a BioModule allows for workspace to be added to your facility for a limited upfront investment and faster than conventional construction methods.
The BioModule concept relies on prefabricated structures initially developed and designed by Charles River for the housing of laboratory animals. This modular lab concept allows for the rapid construction of a workspace that is able to meet and uphold stringent biocontainment and biosecurity requirements. The biological protection level of a BioModule can be fully customized based on operational requirements. A BioModule can be built to operate under negative or positive air pressure, depending on intended use (vaccine production, contaminated animal housing, and transgenic animal breeding vs. conventional and clean animal housing).
Our animal facility consulting and engineering team can customize a BioModule to meet your lab’s specific needs. These modular structures can be fully operational within 14 to 16 weeks after ordering and can be used alone or in connection with each other or with an existing building. In terms of finance models, we offer the option of upfront purchasing or leasing arrangements, depending on your specific financial constraints.
