"The fifth floor here is the biological laboratory."
Two hours later, Chen Chen and Xia Yin followed a man and walked into a building called Meng'an Pharmaceutical Company.
The man was about forty years old, wearing a suit and leather shoes. He had a certain temperament, but the Mediterranean Sea above his head completely destroyed this temperament.
"The laboratory is on the fifth floor of the building. It was originally our company's internal laboratory. However, research has been suspended recently. Our chairman was afraid that problems would occur if the instrument was not used for a long time, so we decided to rent it out."
The Mediterranean man said as he led the two of them out of the elevator, "After you get out of the elevator, there is the basic laboratory on the left and the computer room on the right. This is a non-clean area. You can enter as long as you change into slippers."
Chen Chen put on disposable slippers and walked into the basic laboratory. There were four workbenches inside, and various common experimental tools were placed on the workbench.
"Did you see the safety door at the back? That is the entrance to the GMP laboratory."
The Mediterranean man pointed to the blue alloy door in front of him, "Do you want to go in and visit now? I have the key, but the process is a little troublesome."
"Go, of course." Chen Chen nodded, "That's why we're here."
"Well, please come with me."
The Mediterranean man took out his IC card and opened the alloy door. He saw a narrow corridor inside, with a door directly in front and a door on the left.
"On the left is the buffer corridor, which is also connected to the delivery windows of each laboratory. When transporting goods into the laboratory, remember to bring them in through the delivery windows."
With that said, the Mediterranean man opened the door directly in front, "This is the locker room. Each floor is isolated by a negative pressure device. Men should go to the left door in the second watch, and women should go to the front door. We will wait for you in the third watch."
The last words were for Xia Yin.
Xia Yin nodded, Chen Chen and the Mediterranean man washed their hands and faces in front of the sink, and put on another pair of disposable slippers.
After getting rid of all the dust on their bodies, the two walked into the second watch room.
"The requirements here are different from those in ordinary GMP laboratories. Because we need to wear closed isolation suits, we don't need to change underwear. Isn't that convenient?"
"Closed? Positive pressure protective suit?"
Chen Chen raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, the young man is really knowledgeable. He is worthy of being a top student at Jiaotong University."
The Mediterranean man gave a thumbs up, took off his coat and pants at the same time, put on a white coat prepared in the room, then began to disinfect his hands with alcohol disinfectant, and then put on a disposable headgear.
Chen Chen followed suit, and the two entered the night watch room again.
I saw a few pieces of protective clothing placed in the third-shift room, and they were indeed the kind of fully enclosed isolation clothing.
Chen Chen picked up one, looked at it, and suddenly asked, "This kind of protective clothing is usually used to deal with dangerous microorganisms, right?"
"Well, it seems so, but I really don't know exactly what the company is doing inside. I'm just doing business."
The Mediterranean man laughed and said, "But don't worry, it has been disinfected inside and there is nothing there."
Chen Chen nodded and stopped asking.
After the two of them put on protective clothing, Xia Yin, who was wearing a white coat, also walked in from the side door. The dressing room was divided into men and women, so there would be no such embarrassing situation.
After all three people put on protective clothing, the Mediterranean man opened the last door to the laboratory.
"After entering through this door, we officially enter the clean area."
The Mediterranean man explained skillfully, and his voice came out through the protective clothing with some distortion. "The walls here are made of sandwich color steel plates. There is an air purification system in the laboratory, which controls the humidity, temperature, and gas content of the environment. Strictly control the room temperature at around 20 degrees to ensure fresh and sterile air."
The two of them looked along the corridor. There was an incandescent lamp every five meters above their heads. The light was bright but not dazzling. The walls were wrapped in alloy, full of futuristic science fiction.
The floor of the laboratory is painted light blue, simple and bright, without a trace of dust, which reduces the dignified atmosphere of the laboratory.
"One of the rooms in the corridor is a quality inspection room with a cleanliness level of 10,000. There are complete quality inspection instruments available for use."
The Mediterranean man said, "The second, third, and fourth rooms in the corridor are all cell culture rooms, and each room is divided into a thousand-level buffer zone and an inner level 100-level operation room."
"Then, there are preparation rooms, decontamination rooms and warehouses in the back. Don't worry about the instruments, everything you need is definitely there."
Chen Chen nodded and walked into the first cell culture room. As expected, he saw very complete equipment.
"This is the flow cytometer and PCR machine, right? There are centrifuges and separators over there." Xia Yin walked up to them and used her own knowledge to distinguish each one.
Chen Chen came to a PCR machine and turned it on to check.
Although Chen Chen has not conducted GMP-level experiments, he has already figured out how to use these equipment from books, but he is not proficient enough.
After sampling a few instruments for inspection, Chen Chen nodded and said to the Mediterranean man after more than ten minutes, "The price should be more favorable."
"It's already cheap enough. Considering that you are all students, I lowered it to 5 yuan per flat for you. It really can't be any less." The Mediterranean man waved his hand helplessly.
"Okay." Chen Chen nodded towards Xia Yin. For a GMP laboratory, the price is indeed not high.
"Okay, I'll wait for you two to finish the tour, and then we'll go out and sign the contract." The Mediterranean man suddenly became energetic.
"We've finished the tour, let's go."
Chen Chen took the lead and walked outside. After three more processes, the three of them walked out of the laboratory and began to look at the prepared contracts.
The contract that the Mediterranean man took out had seven or eight pages and hundreds of agreements. Xia Yin definitely didn't understand this aspect. Chen Chen read it over. Although he didn't understand it either, the questions he asked were often to the point, which made Mediterranean The man secretly expressed his difficulty.
In the end, the agreement was finally concluded with more than a dozen amendments.
The specific content of the contract is that Xia Yin rents the GMP laboratory on the fifth floor of the building at a price of five yuan per square meter, and the right to use it is tentatively set for three months, but it does not start from today, but from the day when the school is on winter vacation. Start.
The entire fifth floor has a total of 350 square meters, which wipes out a fraction of the monthly rent of 50,000 yuan.
After signing the agreement, both parties were happy, and the Mediterranean man enthusiastically sent the two out of the building.
By the time the two of them left the laboratory and returned to school, it was already evening.
"Now that the laboratory is rented, the next step is up to you, junior."
Xia Yin was jumping and excited all the way. Baoyan had hope and the depression in her heart was relieved a lot.
"I can't do it alone. I need two assistants." Chen Chen asked, "Do you have a suitable candidate?"
"No..." Xia Yin shook her head blankly.
"Where is your roommate?"
"I don't have a roommate, I live here by myself." Xia Yin replied in a low voice.
Chen Chen took a deep look at Xia Yin.
Xia Yin felt that those eyes were so deep that they seemed to be able to suck people in completely, and she suddenly felt a little panicked in her heart.
After a while, Chen Chen turned around and said, "Then I'll ask my roommate if it's okay."
"Does that cost money again?" Xia Yin's face suddenly became bitter, "The pocket money I saved has basically been used to pay the rent. There really isn't much left."
"No money." Chen Chen shook his head, "It's enough to provide food, accommodation and an author position."
"Oh, that's right..."
Xia Yin breathed a sigh of relief. The two exchanged mobile phone numbers and WeChat messages, and agreed to discuss the experimental process together tomorrow before they parted ways.
