No more blind tail vein injections! A new device can light up mouse blood vessels, boosting experimental success rates.
There are three ways to administer drugs to mice: subcutaneous injection, intraperitoneal injection, and tail vein injection. Although subcutaneous and intraperitoneal injections are easy to operate, tail vein injection is superior in some research areas that require precise dosage and rapid systemic distribution, such as pharmacokinetics, gene therapy, and tumor models, due to its rapid onset, precise dosage, systemic distribution, and repeatable administration.
