Hi everyone,
I will soon start setting up the cuprizone model of demyelination/multiple sclerosis. Cuprizone is purchased from Sigma in powder form and mixed with regular rodent chow (0.2% w/w). I find contrasting information on how handle cuprizone at the stage of food preparation and administration. Specifically, I'm looking for advice from experienced people on how to protect myself best - I'll be working in an animal facility hood with hair cover, long gown, shoe cover, gloves and face mask. Any additional precaution? Any other advice on the cuprizone model in general is well appreciated. Thanks!
