Background
The American Heart Association has recommended tail-cuff blood pressure
measurement for high-throughput experimental designs, including
mutagenesis screens and genetic crosses. However, some tail-cuff methods
show good agreement with radiotelemetry and others do not, indicating that
each tail-cuff method requires independent validation.
Methods
We validated the volumepressure recording (VPR) tail-cuff method by
comparison to simultaneous radiotelemetry measurements.
Results
BlandAltman analysis of 560 cycles from 26 independent measurement
sessions showed good agreement between VPR and radiotelemetry
measurements, with tail-cuff measurements being 0.25 mm Hg lower than
telemetry measurements on average. However, the VPR method was less
accurate, compared to radiotelemetry, at extreme high and low (i.e., <110 or
>180 mm Hg) systolic blood pressures (SBPs).
Conclusions
We conclude that the VPR tail-cuff method provides accurate blood pressure
measurements over the physiological range of blood pressure in mice.

A non-invasive blood pressure system should be designed to reduce the animals stress, enhance blood ow to

Infrared Thermometer
See page 52 for additional thermometer products.
Obtaining repeatable, high quality non-invasive blood pressure

(NIBP) readings which are very close to the systemic BP depends
on the reproducible warming of the rat or mouse in order to dilate
the tail arteries. When the animals are too cool, readings are often
not reproducible, if obtainable at all. If the animals are over heated,
NIBP readings can be higher than the actual systemic blood
pressure, resulting in the animals becoming severely stressed and their physiology altered.
Measuring the tail temperature gives an accurate indication of vasodilation and animal body
temperature as well as the amount of warming needed to obtain the ideal NIBP readings. The non-contact
biomedical thermometer measures infrared emissivity to remotely determine the temperature of the tail or

About Ventilation
Respiratory
Pressure controlled ventilators deliver a constant ow of inspiratory gas at the onset of the inspiration
portion of the respiratory cycle. Gas delivery continues until reaching the inspiratory pressure threshold.
Pressure in the airways and lungs are now maintained until the end of the inspiratory cycle. At this time,
there is no gas ow (inspiratory pause).
Volume controlled ventilation maintains constant inspiratory volume and allows the inspiratory pressure
to vary dynamically with the tidal volume of the subject.
Volume controlled ventilators deliver inspiratory gases at a constant ow for the entire period of the
inspiratory portion of the respiratory cycle. The nal airway pressure will be determined by the tidal
volume of the subject and the connecting tubing. Care is required to avoid

About Syringe Pumps
Syringe Pumps
Syringe pumps provide the most precise delivery of uids. The

uid to be delivered is held within the syringe. The syringe
pump motor pushes a block forward, applying pressure to the
syringe plunger, to allow the uid to exit the syringe. You may
also reverse the direction of the motor to withdraw uid into
the syringe.
3 types of syringe pumps commonly used in research:

Infusion Pumps
Infusion pumps are excellent for delivering precise amounts of uid for many applications, including the
injection of calibrant into a mass spectrometer or reaction chamber, extended drug delivery to animals,
and other general infusion and delivery uses.
Infusion/Withdrawal Pumps
The infuse/withdrawal pumps allow applications such as automatic withdrawal of samples and
unattended lling of syringes at low ow rates.
Push-Pull Pumps
The push-pull pumps provide simultaneous infusion and withdrawal with opposing syringes on a single
drive for applications such as continuous pumping.

Thermoregulation of anesthetized laboratory animals

Animals frequently become hypothermic when Particularly in rats and mice, body heat may be
exposed to anesthesia because of inhalation of cold dissipated from the tail, soles of the feet, or ears with
gases, exposure of body cavities to the room air, and resultant signicant decreases in the core and surface

functions, including respiration and cardiac function. Methods to minimize heat loss to the external
environment (during surgery and post-surgical
It also slows the metabolism of anesthetics and recovery of rodents) include:
results in prolonged recoveries. All of these causes
can contribute to anesthetic death. Hyperthermia is increasing the ambient temperature of the surgical

Because the ratio of body surface area to body mass

About Animal Identication
Animal Identification
There are several methods available for identifying research

mice and other small animals. Both temporary and permanent
methods are widely used in biomedical research.
Temporary Identication
A felt tip marker can mark the ear or tail for several days. Dyes may be used to color a patch of fur; which
will generally last several weeks, however restricted to albino and light colored animals. Another method
is to shave a patch of fur on the back or side of the animal.
Permanent Identication
Methods for permanently identifying rodents include ear punching, ear tagging, tattooing, and
subcutaneously implanting a numerically coded transponder microchip.
Ear Punching Tattooing

Ear punching is commonly used for identication Tattooing is generally the preferred method for

About Animal Handling
Animal Handling
There are several different methods of animal handling.
It is important to note that improper handling causes
distress and/or pain. Minimal animal handling should be
the research objective. Different animals require specic
methods of handling.
Physical Restraint
Physical restraint is the use of manual or mechanical means to limit some or all of
an animals movements for the purpose of examination, collection of samples, drug
administration, therapy, and experimental manipulation. Animals are restrained for
brief periods, usually minutes, in most research applications. Restraint devices should
be suitable in size, design, and operation to minimize discomfort and injury to the
animal. Restraint devices are never permanent animal housing.
Short term Restraint

Short term restraint of laboratory animals involve animal connement in a standard
restraining device, appropriate for the species, for brief periods. Purposes include
drawing blood, giving injections, and examining the animal.
Prolonged restraint
If prolonged physical restraint is required, animals should be conditioned over a period
of gradually increasing time. Certain experiments require animal conditioning to
reduce the level of stress.
Note:
For the comfort and
proper fit. Animals in chairs and slings require closer monitoring than those restrained by tethering jackets or harnesses. A wide variety of animal
restraint devices is available in this section and on our website.

Plethysmography
Paw Volume Plethysmography

Physiology
Fast inflammation or edema measurement, saving time

Automated computer application is efficient
Paw volume measurements of inammation and edema studies are easily taken with the our
Plethysmometer. The acrylic table is designed to be stable using a 30 cm wide base. The extended 25 cm
top gives ample area for resting wrists to maintain stability while holding the subject. Three water
columns have a 1.3, 1.9 and 2.5 cm inner diameter for different paw sizes from mice to large rats. The
column rises 3.75 cm from the table top for easy insertion of the paw.
The water column is connected by tubing to a pre-calibrated low pressure transducer. The transducer
gives consistent readings regardless of the water level. The table and transducer are used with our
computer program for the easiest experimentation possible. The table can also be connected to a recorder
or other data collection system.
One of the best features of the PVP001-R Data Acquisition software is the hand and foot free operation.
No more trying to nd the keyboard or the foot pedal while holding an active animal. Simply dip the paw,
then the computer program automatically takes a base line reading just before the paw was dipped, hold
the paw steady for a few seconds and a second reading is automatically taken.
The volume signal and sample marks are displayed on a chart. Paw volume is automatically calculated
and displayed on digital meters. Acknowledgement of the reading after the dip is done by a simple
mouse click.
The program also displays and records the group PVP1001 Paw Volume Plethysmometer
and subject number. It automatically increments with calibrated Transducer and Cable

Myograph System
Refined Myograph Systems

New streamlined design for efficiency

New high precision micromanipulator
The new, rened design of the Horizontal

Myograph make the ever popular research tool
more precise and easier to use. We provide
more features at a more economical price. The
design has been improved for easier vessel
mounting and bath access.
A few of the new features include the new
micro-manipulator with an LCD display that
reads in inches or millimeters, with 0.001 mm
(1 m) resolution. The transducer head is now mounted to the micro-manipulator. The system can
be setup for left or right hand use. There are no horizontal rods above the bath to interfere with
mounting the tissue.
The myographs are commonly used to monitor developed tension in small muscle rings or muscle
strips induced by pharmacological or electrical stimulation (i.e. aortic, resistance arterial, tracheal, and
bronchial rings; papillary muscle, ileum and uterine strips, etc.). The myographs have also been used to
record action potentials and measure uorescence while monitoring tension, and monitoring tension in
myocyte cultures.
The complete myograph includes a large base for stability with a vertical support rod. The micro-
manipulator, transducer, and bath all attach to the vertical support rod. The simple, modular design
allows all the components to be adjusted independently and the muscle ring or strip can be mounted
directly in the shallow bath. The bath has a small volume (2-5 ml), is water jacketed and is made of glass
for easy cleaning.
Ring feet or hooks extend away from the transducer and support arm to provide increased access to the
muscle. The myograph can be elevated and positioned over a microscope using the large notch in the
base and the four optional corner post holes.
An isometric transducer is included in the system. The transducers use differential capacitance and have
very small compliance making them truly isometric. They include a pre-calibrated amplier with a wall
mount transformer. The pre-calibrated amplier eliminates the need to calibrate with weights.

BK-0122603613 Laboratory Animal Anesthesia

Author: P. A. Flecknell
Publication date: April 1996 / 274 pages / 2nd Edition
The use of safe and effective anesthetic techniques can have a major inuence both on the welfare of
laboratory animals and the quality of the research results obtained in using them. In times of justied
public and scientic concerns over such issues, the need for clear and concise advice on good technique
is of paramount importance. However, much anesthetic work in the laboratory is carried out by research
workers and support staff who have not beneted from specialist veterinary training. This second edition of
Paul Flecknells invaluable guide gives just the sort of clear concise practical information such people need.
It follows all the key stages from preoperative care through anesthesia itself to the postanesthetic recovery
period. Following these general sections, there are specic instructions on regimes for particular laboratory
animals, with advice on recommended agents, dosages and special procedures of importance. Particular emphasis is placed on
welfare, pain reduction and proper post procedural care. The second edition of this now standard guide adds the results of the
latest research, most effective anesthetics and useful illustrations of procedures and equipment and broadens the original books
coverage to include notes on sh, amphibia, reptiles and birds. It will prove an essential addition to the library of any laboratory
where animals are used for research.
