چکیده
A large number of methods for obtaining blood from mice have been published. In our facility, saphenous venepuncture is considered the method of choice for bleeding mice and is believed to have a number of welfare advantages when performed correctly. The aim of this study was to compare levels of haemolysis and plasma glucose in blood samples obtained by saphenous venepuncture and tail vein incision. The results indicate that saphenous venepuncture is the preferred method.

Gender dimorphism in differential peripheral blood leukocyte counts in mice using cardiac, tail, foot, and saphenous vein puncture methods
BACKGROUND: In many animal models that investigate the pathology of various diseases, there is a need to monitor leukocyte counts and differentials. However, various researchers use a range of different techniques in male and female laboratory animals to collect such blood variable information. These studies are then compared to one another without consideration of the possibility that differen...
متن کاملBlood sampling from the retro-orbital plexus, the saphenous vein and the tail vein in rats: comparative effects on selected behavioural and blood variables.
We compared the behaviours of rats, and measured various blood parameters, after three blood sampling techniques: orbital puncture while they were under diethyl-ether anaesthesia, blood collection by tail vein puncture under O2-N2O-halothane anaesthesia and puncture of the saphenous vein without anaesthesia. Twelve rats were subjected to the three treatments according to a Latin square design. ...

Facial vein (cheek blood) and caudal vein (tail blood) phlebotomy are two commonly used techniques for obtaining blood samples from laboratory mice, while automated blood sampling through a permanent catheter is a relatively new technique in mice. The present study compared physiological parameters, glucocorticoid dynamics as well as the behavior of mice sampled repeatedly for 24 h by cheek blo...

Background: In order to determine the prognosis of neonates, it is recommended to use umbilical gas analysis in all high-risk pregnancies. However, utilizing umbilical gas analysis and Apgar score together is very helpful for determining the mortality rate confidence interval. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the application of umbilical gas analysis in assessing the prognosis of infan...

Preclinical studies on pharmacokinetics in animals usually require at least 3-5 animals per time point. The use of several animals in each time point may increase the result variation due to individual dosing errors and interand intraindividual variation among animals. Moreover, a large number of animals has to be euthanized in these experiments. In the present paper, the pharmacokinetics of th...
