Hi, I am wondering if anyone knows of any good techniques in which you can collect blood from the mouse saphenous vein without having to anesthetize it. Thanks!
Hi,
"We describe what we consider to be a simple method for venepuncture that may be employed in a range of species down to, and including, the mouse, without the need for anaesthesia."
Article Hem, A. , Smith, A.J. & Solberg, P. Saphenous vein puncture ...
Hope it helps
Best regards
Tomasz
Lateral saphenous vein preferred choice for withdrawal of blood in Mice. More or less same as venipunture technique employed in human being except Rear leg are preferred and hair saving is required
I think Saphenous venipuncture and Tail clip methods are the best way to collect a blood sample from unanesthetized mice .
