Experiment Planning
PREPARE checklist
The PREPARE guidelines summarize key aspects of consideration in planning animal experiment.
Experimental Design Assistant
This online tool provide guidance for researchers to use minimum number of animals consistent with their scientific objectives.
Animal number
This article discussed animal experiments are usually under power, and can be improved by using historical data.

Choosing the animal strain
LASEC Animal Strain List
CUHK LASEC breeds over 180 strains of animals. Please consider using available strains for your experiments.
Common Immuno-deficient strains (JAX)
The Jackson Laboratory has summarized characteristics of immuno-deficient mouse strains.
Mouse Genome Informatics (MGI)
MGI is an international database resource for the laboratory mouse, providing integrated genetic, genomic, and biological data to facilitate the study of human health and disease.
International Mouse Strain Resource (IMSR)
The IMSR is a searchable online database of mouse strains, stocks, and mutant ES cell lines available worldwide, including inbred, mutant, and genetically engineered strains.

Refining Procedures
Blood sampling techniques
The NC3Rs provides information of blood sampling for common laboratory species.
How to pick up a mouse
Research has shown that picking up mice by the tail induces anxiety.
Postoperative care
Research showed pain treatment, fluid therapy, warmth and high energy liquid reduce morbidity and mortality after surgery.
