Abstract

The Production and Experimentation Animal Facility of the USP School of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Institute of Chemistry is a large multi-user facility that breeds and houses experimental animals for these two major branches of the University. Because of the growing demand for experimental animals of different lineages and for the use of animal housing systems with better environmental controls, together with constant updates of the international standards for sanitation and ethics, this facility is in need of a new jacketed autoclave for the sterilization of materials employed in the field of animal breeding. This project is aimed at equipping the facility with a jacketed autoclave and the appropriate accessories, including the installation of the equipment. (AU)
