ABSTRACT:
An animal station is disclosed having a housing defining an interior with first and second openings formed through the housing in air flow communication with the interior. A first filter medium (a prefilter) is disposed to filter particulate matter from air flowing through the first opening and a second filter medium (a HEPA filter) is disposed to filter particulate matter from air flowing through the second opening. The second filter medium is selected to filter particulate matter finer than that filtered by the first filter medium. At least one movable animal cage rack is provided disposed adjacent either of the first and second openings. The rack has an interior providing air flow communication between ambient air and the adjacent opening when the rack is positioned adjacent the housing. A blower is provided for drawing air through an inlet and forcing the air through an outlet. A duct is provided for guiding air flow from the first filter medium to the blower inlet and from the blower outlet to the second filter medium.
