 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Animal Resource Program at MIT represents a vital resource that is central to the various biomedical research missions of the Institute. This proposal seeks funds to replace aged cage washers and autoclaves in the Building 68 animal facility in a manner consistent with current NIH and AAALAC standards. Building 68 is a critical component of the centralized MIT Animal Resource Program that encompasses 185,000 gsf of space housing 98,000 animals on a daily basis. The following specific aims are documented in this proposal. Specific Aim 1 Purchase and install two Better Built Model SW6300PT cage and rack washers, two C550 cage and bottle washers and one Better Built Model T224 tunnel washer with a bedding dispenser unit to replace existing 20 year old cage washers. Specific Aim 2 Purchase and install two consolidated autoclaves for 68 North and for 68 South and a Consolidated Model SR-24D-ADVPRO autoclave for the BL2 facility in 68 South to replace existing 20 year old units. The specific improvements are directly related to the long term goal of MIT's Animal Resource Program, which is to provide the best possible environment for scientific inquiry supported by NIH and other sources, concurrently maintain AAALAC accreditation, and ensure the highest standards of humane care and use of laboratory animals.

 描述（由应用程序提供）：麻省理工学院的动物资源计划代表了研究所各种生物医学研究任务至关重要的重要资源。该提案寻求资金以与当前NIH和AAAALAC标准一致的方式代替68个动物设施中建筑物中的老年笼垫圈和高压灭菌器。建筑物68是集中的MIT动物资源计划的关键组成部分，该计划每天涵盖185,000 GSF的空间住房，每天有98,000只动物。本提案中记录了以下特定目标。特定的目标1购买并安装了两个更好的型号SW6300PT笼子和机架垫圈，两个C550笼子和瓶装垫机，以及一个带有床上用品分配器单元的型号更好的T224型号T224隧道垫圈，以取代现有的20年历史的笼式垫圈。特定的AIM 2购买并安装两个北向68号的合并高压灭菌器，并为68 South和一个合并的型号SR-24D-ADVPRO高压灭菌器，用于68 South的BL2设施，以取代现有的20年历史单元。具体的改进与长期目标直接相关 麻省理工学院的动物资源计划（NIH）和其他来源为科学探究提供了最佳的环境，同时维持AAAALAC认证，并确保人类护理和实验动物的最高标准。
