videos to guide your preclinical research
Do you seek ways to make preclinical studies more ethical for lab animals by following the 3Rs of research? View our growing library of videos to learn how you can use microsampling to achieve the 3Rs in your laboratory.
This video, provided courtesy of NC3Rs, demonstrates blood collection from a rat using a tail-stick method and a Mitra® microsampling device. The minimally invasive microsampling method shown here can help labs honor the 3Rs of animal research.
Advances in bioanalytical techniques have made it possible to use microsamples of smaller blood volumes to measure drug levels and chemical exposure. Smaller sample volumes collected with microsampling devices translate to less impact on your lab animals.
