9-Test substances and procedures
Characterisation of test substances (e.g. chemicals) is generally easier than characterisation of the test system (e.g. cells, tissues, organs, animals) to which they are applied, with some exceptions such as early candidate molecules in pharmaceutical research. As much information as possible should be provided to the animal facility.
Laboratory Maintenance Checklists from Mettler Toledo
Consider the feasibility and validity of test procedures and the skills needed to perform them.
General principles
For fish researchers
Scientists should examine whether studies can be conducted on non-protected developmental stages, i.e. larval fish.
The use of microinjection techniques or bath treatment should also be evaluated.
This section will be used to publish resources for fish researchers and animal care staff.
