Animal Facility Monitoring
Environmental monitoring for vivaria, animal housing rooms, and research facilities. Track temperature, humidity, pressure, and light cycles with CCAC and AAALAC compliant data logging.
Ensure Animal Welfare & Research Integrity
Animal research facilities require precise environmental control to ensure animal welfare and produce reliable, reproducible results. Temperature, humidity, ventilation, and lighting all directly impact animal health and research outcomes.
ATEK provides continuous, wireless monitoring of all critical environmental parameters in your animal facility with immediate alerts when conditions deviate from species-specific requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What environmental parameters are critical for animal facilities?
Key parameters include room temperature (typically 20–26°C depending on species), relative humidity (30–70%), air changes per hour (10–15 ACH), light/dark cycles, and differential pressure for barrier facilities. ATEK monitors all of these with species-specific alarm thresholds.
How does ATEK help with CCAC and AAALAC compliance?
ATEK provides continuous environmental data logging with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliant audit trails. This documentation is essential for CCAC and AAALAC accreditation, demonstrating that animal housing conditions are consistently maintained within required ranges.
Can ATEK monitor light cycles in animal rooms?
Yes, ATEK can monitor and log light levels to verify that programmed light/dark cycles are functioning correctly. This is critical for circadian research, breeding programs, and general animal welfare compliance.
Does ATEK support differential pressure monitoring for barrier facilities?
Yes, ATEK monitors differential pressure between barrier rooms and corridors, ensuring proper containment is maintained. Alerts are triggered immediately if pressure differentials fall outside acceptable ranges, protecting both SPF colonies and containment integrity.
