RRSSC, Instech, and TSN Scientific Consult are proud to announce the hands-on laboratory course on the glucose clamp technique in stress-free, conscious, and freely moving mice and rats.
The Glucose Clamp Course is of interest to those who want to master glucose clamping in rats and mice. During the course, you use state-of-the-art microsurgical catheterisation and exteriorizing techniques.
The course was created in cooperation with Dr David Wasserman and the Vanderbilt Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Center. This allows us to benefit from their extensive experience using the state-of-the-art clamping technique, which has been continuously developed and refined at the Vanderbilt MMPC for more than 25 years.
In the meantime, the glucose clamp has become the gold standard for assessing β-cell function, insulin action, and glucose turnover in vivo. Clamping rats and mice requires specialized equipment, as well as microsurgical and experimental skills, to obtain reliable and reproducible results. For more information, click here.
Above all, the Glucose Clamp module aims to provide the participants with all the necessary skills to design, execute, and analyze a glucose clamp experiment in conscious, freely moving rats and mice, taking them from optimal surgery to data analysis.
This is the program of the RRSSC’s Glucose Clamp Course
The 2024 Glucose Clamp Course will be from November 9 – 15, 2024.
