How to weigh animals in animal experiments

Animal experiment is an important means of scientific research and an important part of modern science and technology. Therefore, it directly affects the success or failure of the research topic and its level. Its improvement and development will bring the research of many fields into a new realm. Especially in the field of life science research, animal experiments are more important and universal. It is essential and vital in the fields of antibody research and development, drug research, new therapy research, gene expression and knockout. Link.

When conducting animal experiments, it is often necessary to weigh the animals. When the animals are weighed, the weighing data is constantly changing due to the animal's active motion, and accurate readings cannot be performed. Therefore, many researchers are asking about methods for weighing animals.

In fact, for the application of animal weighing, some balance manufacturers, such as Sartorius, have already developed corresponding methods. The principle is to set an interval of unstable readings. The balance reads several times in this interval and calculates the average value. This average is used as the weighing result of the display. The number of readings used to calculate the average and the range of instability received can be set by themselves. Below we take the Secura balance as an example to learn more about the steps of animal weighing:

1. Animal weighing, due to changing readings, it is difficult for the naked eye to choose the right reading time, so we can choose the “unstable weighing” application when weighing (see Figure 1 and Figure 2).

2. The container for weighing the animal is placed on a weighing pan and peeled.

3. Check the settings and make changes as needed (see Figure 3): first select the number of measurements, for example 10 times, then average the calculations with 10 measurements, and of course you can select more measurements to increase the accuracy of the results; Choose the degree of instability that can be tolerated during the reading phase. Considering the balance between accuracy and time, you often choose the second one. If you want the data to be more accurate, you can choose the third one. You can also choose to start weighing automatically or manually.

4. The animals were weighed in a weighing container.

5. The average is calculated automatically and the reading is taken.

6. Uninstall.

Animal weighing can be accomplished in six extremely simple steps.

In addition, Cubis, as an intelligent balance, has more powerful functions in unstable weighing. For example, in addition to selecting three ranges of instability, medium and low, it is also possible to specifically set the accepted unstable state. For example, the fluctuation is 30%, 10%, 5%, and the weight of the administration can be automatically deducted by setting.

Nowadays, the electronic balance in the laboratory is the most basic function, but its design and function far exceed the weighing itself. It combines the functions of special application, risk control and laboratory management. The function is more and more intelligent, the operation is more and more convenient, and the result is more and more accurate.
