Methods for repetitive measurements of multiple hematological parameters in individual rats.
Methods have been developed which permit frequent repetitive blood sampling of rats without perturbing physiological parameters of interest. These techniques allow a comprehensive hematological study over several weeks, in individual rats, thus permitting full documentation of selected parameters during growth and development.
