Long-term blood sampling technique in the marmoset.
A simple and reliable method for long-term blood sampling from the restrained marmoset is described. Cannulae were chronically inserted into the internal jugular vein, exteriorized and housed in a backpack system. The cannulae remained patent for 1-7 months. This system allows for rapid collection of blood samples and hence detailed analysis of circulating hormone levels.
