This combination manual and downloadable resources provide much-needed training on the proper handling of rats used in biomedical research. The downloadable resources include narrated video clips that demonstrate and describe each procedural technique. The manual contains handouts with color illustrations and descriptive text for each technique, including the purpose and application of the procedure, recommended skills, and necessary supplies. It can be used as a training resource and refresher for lab animal veterinarians, veterinary technicians, animal care staff, trainers, and research investigators and staff who work with rats.

Industry Reviews

The texts, Laboratory Rat and Laboratory Mouse Procedural Techniques Manual and DVD are short, easily read/watched manuals that review the very basic handling for the animal care technician through the clear use of discussion and accompanying photographs, enhanced with a clear, understandable DVD demonstrating each procedure discussed. Not only is the safety of the laboratory specimen of concern, but even more importantly, the safety of the human laboratory technicians and researchers. The reader is assumed to have fundamental laboratory rodent training in place. This is not meant as a primary training tool but to review and refresh existing understanding. Each of the texts is similar in organization and content which conveniently aids in navigation of topics.
-ALN Magazine, 2012

"While this handbook is not intended to present new information, it is a valuable desktop training resource for those who either want quick access to a biomethodology resource and those with responsibility for training and/ or supervising other individuals who need to use rats for research purposes and perform some or all of the techniques described. Additionally, the clear, step-by-step approach and simple instructions in both the printed manual and the DVD may be particularly helpful to those for whom English is a second language. In summary, this is a biomethodology training resource that many animal facilities using rats will find helpful to have on hand as an adjunct tool to existing training programs."
-Patricia Foley, DVM, DACLAM, CPIA, in American Association for Laboratory Animal Science, May 2011, Vol 50, No 3, p. 412

"Currently, there is a paucity of training material for experimental techniques in laboratory rodents, particularly audiovisual material. The manuals and accompanying DVDs will be of great interest to students, technicians, veterinarians, and investigators. Importantly, the straightforward approach taken in both the printed manual and DVD will be seen as an excellent tool for non-English speaking personnel."
-Mark A. Suckow, DVM, Dipl. ACLAM, Director, Freimann Life Science Center, University of Notre Dame, & Past President of AALAS

"Persons (students of animal technology) can watch these videos to 'get the picture' and then practice with an experienced individual. It is a good refinement step of the 3Rs.... I will be very excited to have these manuals to use as training items with my students and as reference resources in our animal facility."
-Bruce W. Kennedy, MS, RLATG, CMAR, Compliance Associate, Research & Graduate Studies, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, & Past President of AALAS
