title: [Use of a fixation device and hematocrit capillaries for the collection of blood in wild birds for virologico-serologic examination].
abstract: There is a description of the fixation and blood sampling in small birds by means of hematocrit capillaries. The volume of 25-30 microliters serum can be taken safely from a 75 cm long capillary filled with blood. This amount is large enough for examination by the micromethod of hemagglutination-inhibition test (HIT) and component-fixation reaction (KFR). Even potentially infectious material can be centrifuged in a capillary sealed at both ends. The procedure is suitable to be used for repeated samplings during long-term experiments or for biochemical examinations of small birds kept in cages.
