Refining Blood Sampling In Mice On average, mice have around 58.5 ml of blood per kg of bodyweight. so for an adult 30 g mouse tbv=1.75 ml and the maximum blood sample you can take is 175 μl. this is plenty for the biochemical methods used for analysing blood samples which require only small blood volumes. however, smaller blood volumes (20 40 μl) are required to be taken. For collection of feces, mice were housed individually for a period of up to 30 min at 10 to 12 h after blood collection. this timing was based on a previous report. 28 feces were immediately frozen at 20° c ( 4° f) for later measurement of corticosterone. blood was collected again on days 22 and 43 of the study.
Blood Sampling From Mice And Rats Instech Laboratories Frequently neglected in studies evaluating blood sampling techniques in laboratory mice. there are already indications that the different blood sampling procedures may lead to alterations in spontaneous as well as experimentally induced behaviours and also physiological parameters; however, the results are ambiguous [17, 24–26]. It is important to be aware of other suitable alternatives for blood sampling in rodents, such as sampling from the lateral vena saphena in mice (saphenous venepuncture). a study by aasland et al. 26 indicates that saphenous sampling is less stressful than tail sampling and hence may provide an even better blood sampling method in mice than the. Retro orbital sampling can be used in both mice and rats by penetrating the retro orbital sinus in mice or plexus in rats with a sterile hematocrit capillary tube or pasteur pipette. sterile tubes are recommended to help avoid periorbital infection and potential long term damage to the eye. good sample quality. Blood sampling in rodents is common practice in scientific studies. some of the refined methods widely used are the puncture of the saphenous vein or tail vein, or even tail docking. the handling needs of these different blood sampling methods are different and can directly affect stress, increasing the variability of the study. moreover, there is less aversion and stress if the animal is.

Blood sampling is often performed in laboratory mice. sampling techniques have the potential to cause pain, distress and impact on lifetime cumulative experience. in spite of institutions commonly providing guidance to researchers on these methods, and the existence of published guidelines, no systematic evaluation of the evidence on this topic. In juvenile mice, the small blood volume of the animals also requires only small samples to be taken. furthermore, for behavioural studies it is desirable to have a method that does not require anaesthesia or the use of invasive indwelling cannulae. we report the validation of a refined method for repeated blood sampling (up to 3 times at 24 h.
