Evaluation of blood collection methods and anticoagulants for platelet function analyses on C57BL/6J laboratory mice
2019
The exploration of thrombotic mechanisms relies on the application of blood collection methods from laboratory mice with a minimal pre-activation of platelets and the clotting system. So far, very little is known on how the blood collection method and the anticoagulant used influence pre-activation of mouse platelets and coagulation. To determine the most suitable blood collection method, we systematically compared blood collection by heart puncture,
Does the Site of Blood Collection in Fish Affect Haematological and Blood Biochemical Results?
2021
The values of haematological and selected blood plasma biochemical parameters of juvenile common carp (Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus, 1758) were compared between blood samples taken from caudal vein and heart to evaluate the influence of blood sampling body site on the obtained results in two groups of fish of different blood sampling order: I – first by caudal and then by cardiac puncture, II – first by cardiac and then by caudal puncture. The obtained results revealed statistically significant (p<0.05) differences only in group I where red blood cell (RBC) count was higher in caudal vein blood, while haematocrit (Ht) value, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), …
