SUMMARY:Mouse Necropsy and Tissue Processing
DESCRIPTION:This 2-day course provides practical training in how to perform a basic standard mouse necropsy and describe gross observations made during the process. It then covers considerations for the treatment of tissues collected at necropsy\, some of the routinely used solutions and the cutting in of tissues in preparation for histological processing and embedding. \nFollowing the course\, you will be able to: \n\nPerform a basic standard mouse necropsy\nDescribe gross observations at necropsy\nGain an understanding of the rapid ‘emergency’ opening\nSelect suitable tissues for histology and further analysis\nPerform a standard cut-in\n\nWho is this for: \n\nResearchers\nAnimal Technicians\nPhD Students\n\n\nThis training is approved by the Royal Society of Biology. Training course approval is an independent review process that recognises relevant\, high quality training. Upon completion of this course\, attendees can claim 48 CPD points.
