Surgical Procedures
The Monash Metabolic Phenotyping Platform can perform a wide range of surgical procedures. Our experienced staff follow standardised procedures that are in line with world leading facilities, allowing for high-throughput of complex procedures, such as:
- Ovariectomy
- Castration
- Splenectomy
- Osmotic mini pump or pellet installation
- Portal Vein Cannulation
- Jugular vein cannulation, allowing for intravenous infusion in conscious and unrestrained mice.
- Carotid artery cannulation, allowing for arterial blood sampling in conscious and unrestrained mice.
- Dual cannulation (carotid artery and jugular vein), allowing for simultaneous arterial blood sampling and intravenous infusion in conscious and unrestrained mice.
Technology and methodological development is a primary goal of the Monash Metabolic Phenotyping Platform. Thus, should you require us to perform a surgical procedure not listed here, we are more than happy to discuss your requirements and the feasibility of performing this through our facility.
