Biomethodology of the Rat (BASIC)
12:00 » 16:00Biomethodology of the Rat - Basic Techniques Course
Course Description:
One of the key factors in working safely and humanely with research rodents requires basic competency and understanding of handling and restraint methods of the rat research model. The goal of this workshop is to provide the novice/unfamiliar participant with the basic principles required to safely handle animals and introduce basic technical skills that are commonly used in research. Skill areas to be demonstrated/practiced include:
- Understand the role of the rat research model.
- Understand basic biology of the rat.
- Properly handle and restrain rats for routine procedures, e.g. physical exam, administration of medication, and venipuncture.
- Observe rats for recognition of normal and abnormal physical conditions and behavioral changes.
- Determine gender in young and adult rats.
- Demonstrate methods of identification.
- Demonstrate techniques for administration of medication by the following routes:
- Oral (PO)
- Subcutaneous (SC or SQ)
- Intraperitoneal (IP)
- Intradermal (ID)
- Discuss appropriate methods of euthanasia

Biomethodology of the Rat - Advanced Techniques Course
13:00 » 17:00Biomethodology of the Rat - Advanced Techniques Course
Course Description:
Once Rat handling, restraint and basic technical skills have been practiced and competency levels reached, advanced techniques are needed to support the animals once they have been placed on study. Data collection is the keystone to research so proper and humane blood collection techniques are needed in order to maintain the health and welfare of the animals as well as maintaining the integrity of the samples. The goal of this workshop is to provide the intermediate participant with the principles and skill sets required to safely collect blood samples as well learn humane euthanasia. Skill areas to be demonstrated/practiced include:
- Properly handle and restrain rats for routine blood collection procedures.
- Observe rats for recognition of normal and abnormal physical conditions and behavioral changes.
- Demonstrate techniques
for sample collection by way of the following techniques
- Intravenous (IV)
- Saphenous vein sampling (SV)
- Cardiac Puncture (C)
- Discuss/demonstrate
appropriate methods of euthanasia
- Secondary confirmation of euthanasia.
