Automated blood sampling in small laboratory animals at the RRSSC offers specialised training in these techniques for rats and mice. This course is designed to enhance catheterisation procedures of various vascular sites, the jugular vein, femoral vein, carotid artery, and hepatic portal vein. Participants will gain practical experience with blood sampling. Information on automated systems will be provided.
The programme is particularly beneficial for participants aiming to refine their skills in longitudinal blood sampling, pharmacokinetic studies, and other protocols requiring repeated blood withdrawal from freely moving, unanaesthetised rats and mice. The course is recognised by the Swiss Association of Cantonal Veterinarians, underscoring its professional relevance and adherence to animal care standards.
