What is it?
An automated blood sampling machine that allows collection of blood samples in freely-moving animals.
Manufacturer: Instech
Model Name: ABS2
Applications: Automated blood collection
Instrument Overview: Automates the collection of blood samples from laboratory animals including mice, rats and large animals. By eliminating labor-intensive manual withdrawals it can substantially increase the throughput (one technician can run multiple studies simultaneously) of pharmacokinetics research groups, and the ability to collect samples while you are at home sleeping. It can also reduce the stress on animals caused by handling and venipuncture. The sampler withdraws blood from a tethered freely-moving animal according to your programmed schedule, stores the samples in an integrated refrigerated fraction collector, and replaces the withdrawn volumes with IV fluid. You control and monitor sampling schedules, volumes and withdrawal rates for up to 12 animals from a central computer.
Technical features and specifications:
The flexibility to work with a range of species, from mice and rats to large animals
Accurate microsample volumes and accurate time points
Undiluted samples, verified by in-line sensors
Less than five µL of blood wasted per sample, to minimize hemodilution
Fraction collector type: rotary, 10 position;
Software: Metamorph
Charges:
User operated: $50/hour
