I offten do some survival experiment for my mice. I use the anesthetic avertin, I have already know that avertin may easily induce peritonitis in mice. But very strangely, the avertin will induce pertonities in winter but not summor, you know my mice is in the SPF room, so the tempreture is constant. I don't know why.
do you think that avetin 's function will be influenced by the circumstance.
Thank you for you attention
We used avertin only for lethal procedures where recovery was not required. For survival surgeries we used isoflurane, which is generally well tolerated.
We have used Avertin in the past for surgery. It gives anaesthesia for about 1 hr. It degrades rapidly in the presence of heat or light, so need to monitor that. You also need to prepare fresh solutions every 2 weeks. Keep it refrigerated and wrapped in aluminium foil.
