7
Blood Collection From Tail in Mouse For collection of small amount of blood (Approximate 0.1 ml )
8
Tools for Blood Collection from Tail 75% alcohol cotton ball for surface disinfection Small plastic bottle with 1/2 cm diameter holes in both ends as mouse restrainer Scissors Pipetteman and tips A vial for blood collection
9
Placing a mouse on a cage lid and grasping the loose skin behind the ears by the thumb and forefinger
10

11
Leave the tail of the mouse outside the cover of the restrainer
12
Amputate the tip of the mouse tail by scissors
13
Massage the tail and collect blood by pipetteman
14
Blood Collection From Retro Orbital Sinus in Mouse Should apply anesthetic before blood withdraw A convenience and easy apply method for blood collection in mouse Collect amount up to 0.5 ml
15
Tools for Blood Collection from Orbital Sinus in Mouse 75% alcohol cotton ball for surface disinfection anesthesia Glass capillary tube and vial for blood collection
16
Anesthetize a mouse by intraperitoneal injection
17
Retro-orbital Sinus Blood Collection The retro-orbital sinus is the site located behind the eye at the medial or lateral canthus. This venous sinus is located just underneath the conjunctival membrane.
18
Use a glass capillary tube to penetrate the orbital conjunctiva and rupture the orbital sinus
19
With a gentle rotating motion, insert the tube through the sinus membrane
20
Collect blood with a vial
21
Blood Collection From Cardiac Puncture in Mouse For collect up to 1 ml of blood within a short period of time Must be performed under general anesthetic or post-mortem

23
Disinfect the thorax area with 75% alcohol cotton ball
24
Search for the maximum heart palpitation with your finger
25
Insert the needle at the base of the sternum, bevel up, into the thoracic cavity at a 15 - 20° angle directed just to the left of the midline. Aspirate slowly
26
Insert a 24G 1” needle through the thoracic wall at the point of maximum heart palpitation
