Drawing Blood from Rats through the Saphenous Vein and by Cardiac Puncture
(JoVE)
Cardiac puncture allows the collection of large amounts of blood from a single animal (up to 10 ml of blood can be drawn from a 150 g rat). This technique is therefore very useful as a terminal procedure when drawing blood from the saphenous would not provide a large enough sample.
