e. The exhaust fan in the laboratory should be interlocked with the supply fan. The exhaust fan should be turned on before the supply fan and closed after the supply fan. The indoor exhaust duct should be set separately from the exhaust duct of biological safety cabinets and other equipment.
f. The air supply and exhaust in the clean room should be sent up and down. The indoor air supply and exhaust outlets should be arranged to minimize the space where the indoor airflow stagnates.
g. A pressure difference of not less than 5Pa should be maintained between the various areas of the laboratory to ensure that the airflow flows from the clean area to the polluted area, and a pressure differential gauge should be set at a position that is easy to observe.
h. Filters and air-conditioning units cannot use wooden materials, and should be resistant to disinfectant corrosion and non-absorbent materials, and the air leakage rate of air-conditioning units should be less than 2%.
i. Comfortable air-conditioning mainly adopts fan coil unit plus fresh air system, and uses the centralized cold and heat sources of the hospital in winter and summer. If the hospital has no cold and heat sources in spring and autumn, it can provide its own air-cooled modular unit to provide cold and heat sources.

4. Electrical Engineering
The laboratory of the laboratory should be powered according to the first-level load, and an uninterruptible power supply should be installed to ensure that the power supply of the main equipment is not less than 30 minutes.
a. Lighting system
(1) Laboratory illumination ≥ 300 lx, buffer room, preparation room ≥ 200 lx, office area illumination ≥ 200 lx, blood collection table top illumination ≥ 500 lx.

The test zone network travels between arbitrary stations, and the system can deliver automatic transfers of samples, medicines, and other portable items. The system can improve the work efficiency of the hospital, save the working time and labor intensity of the medical staff, make the hospital logistics more orderly, and effectively avoid the cross-infection caused by the flow of people and contact, and reduce the flow of small items in the hospital from the traditional The manual transmission has become an automated intelligent transmission.
b. The experimental multi-function column is to lead the strong electricity, weak electricity, air source and water source from the ceiling to the working surface through the multi-function column. There are standard ports on the multi-function column for access during the experiment. The column is divided into multiple Strong electricity, weak electricity, water, and gas are in an independent area to avoid contact with each other.

8, the construction party's preparations
a. Understand the existing testing items of the laboratory and the testing items planned to be carried out in the past 3 years, understand the daily outpatient volume and the number of beds in the hospital, so as to determine the functional room and area of the testing laboratory.
b. Make a list of the main testing equipment in the laboratory. The list should include information such as equipment name, quantity, power, water consumption, and gas consumption, and provide it for the designer's reference.
c. The designer should provide a floor plan of the building, and negotiate with the engineering designer to determine the entrance and exit of the laboratory personnel, the entrance of cleaning items, and the exit of dirt. These human flow routes should not conflict with the human flow routes of the entire building.
d. After the preliminary design scheme is determined, the designer should be assisted in a communication with experts in the industry to optimize the design scheme.
