Mouse Necropsy and Tissue Processing
This 2-day course provides practical training in how to perform a basic standard mouse necropsy and describe gross observations made during the process. It then covers considerations for the treatment of tissues collected at necropsy, some of the routinely used solutions and the cutting in of tissues in preparation for histological processing and embedding.
Following the course, you will be able to:
- Perform a basic standard mouse necropsy
- Describe gross observations at necropsy
- Gain an understanding of the rapid ‘emergency’ opening
- Select suitable tissues for histology and further analysis
- Perform a standard cut-in
Who is this for:
- Researchers
- Animal Technicians
- PhD Students
