Mimicky® Mouse

Experimental procedure Simulator

This laboratory animal replica aligns with all of the 3R principles!
~Simulates the texture of a live mouse~

The 3R Principles

◆ Refinement:  Minimize the pain that may be experienced by animals.
◆ Reduction: Minimize the number of animals used per experiment.
◆ Replacement: Avoid or replace the use of animals in experiments where they otherwise would have been used.

Mimicky® Mouse is the laboratory animal replica that enables users to gain proficiency in techniques of handling laboratory animals, while contributing to the realization of all of the 3R Principles by utilizing alternative methods for living animals, reducing the number of animals used in experiments, and avoiding pain and suffering of animals

Mimicky® Mouse – a wide variety of uses! –

For example, training of various techniques for oral administration, such as tightness and angle while gripping an animal by the neck, sonde insertion angle and depth, and administration speed, can be performed with Mimicky® Mouse before using live animals. Additionally, there is no need to worry about being bitten, so these techniques can be acquired with peace of mind, which allows for smooth performance in actual experiments using living organisms.
Use for repetitive training, such as handling and oral administration, before using a living animal contributes to conducting more accurate animal experiments and promotes animal welfare. These are the concepts of Mimicky® Mouse.

 

 

Usage Example
• Training for restraint
• Training for oral administration
• Training for tail vein administration
• Training for intraperitoneal administration (only to check the insertion position while restraining) *Do not insert the needle into the peritoneal cavity.
