Unanesthetized rats can be manually restrained for access to the
saphenous vessel.
One rear leg is
isolated and a scalpel blade used to bluntly remove hair over the
vessel. A small amount of Puralube® ointment is applied topically prior
to pricking the vein with the MEDIpoint’s lancet (Fig 1). The Puralube
ointment allows the blood drop to remain localized and away from the
skin and hair on the leg (Fig 2). Approximately 4 - 5 drops of whole
blood (~100 µl) can then be directly collected into a collection tube,
prior to sample analysis (Fig 3). Blood flow can be stopped at any
time by applying a compress to the site for a few moments.
For Saphenous Bleed use a 3mm or 3mm point length.

The unique Multivette® 600 is
the only product that can collect both venous and capillary blood. For
venous blood collection, a Luer needle is connected to the capillary
tube of the Multivette®, which automatically fills by normal venous
pressure. Capillary blood is performed using the End-to-End principle.
The special pre-assembled capillary tube is designed to hold 600 µl of
blood. |

Microvette® 100/200
Provides all the benefits of a
universally suitable capillary blood collection system
The Microvette® 100/200 offers the ideal solution for the
collection of even the smallest blood volumes. The preassembled
end-to-end capillary ensures a controlled collection to the capillary
technique. The Microvette® enables blood sampling using either the
special rim or the gravity-flow principle without any problem. Depending
on individual requirements, the Microvette® is available with a
cylindrical inner tube for optimum mixing results or a conical inner
tube for a high serum/plasma supernatant. The cylindrical outer
container is ideal for barcodes and patient labels. The special cap
design minimizes aerosol effect when the tube is opened and provides
safe sealing features.
