Abstract

An exposure system for experimental animals includes a container for a single animal which has a double wall. The animal is confined within the inner wall. Gaseous material enters a first end, flows over the entire animal, then back between the walls and out the first end. The system also includes an arrangement of valve-controlled manifolds for supplying gaseous material to, and exhausting it from, the containers. 6 figs.

Nose-only exposure system

Patent Cannon, William C [Richland, WA]; Bass, Edward W [Kennewick, WA]; Decker, Jr., John R. (Pasco, WA)

An exposure system for supplying a gaseous material, i.e. an aerosol, gas or a vapor, directly to the noses of experimental animals includes concentric vertical inner and outer manifolds. The outer manifold connects with the necks of a large number of bottles in which the animals are confined with their noses adjacent the bottle necks. Readily detachable small tubes communicate with the inner manifold and extend to the necks of the bottles. The upper end of the outer manifold and the lower end of the inner manifold are closed. Gaseous material is supplied to the upper end of the innermore »« less

Determination of a volatile gas, vinylidene fluoride, in blood during a nose-only exposure

Journal Article Bechtold, W E; Medinsky, M A; Gerlach, R F

A method has been developed for measuring the volatile gas vinylidene fluoride (VDF) in the blood of rats during nose-only exposure. Blood was sampled via a jugular cannula was constructed from silastic tubing. The silastic cannula was sutured and glued to the vein and was passed subcutaneously to the back of the rat's neck, where it was externalized and anchored in the same manner. Securing the cannula at these two sites stabilized its position in the vein. A strip of Velcro sutured to the skin of the animal's back served to protect and store the external part of the cannula.more »« less

Method for chronic nose-only exposures of laboratory animals to inhaled fibrous aerosols

Conference Smith, D M; Ortiz, L W; Archuleta, R F; ...

A study is currently being conducted to determine any biological effects when rats and hamsters inhale man-made mineral fibers (MMMFs). The MMMF's to be tested include glass fibers, mineral wool, and ceramic fibers, with crocidolite asbestos serving as a positive control aerosol material. A prime objective of this study is to expose animals to high airborne concentrations of long thin fibers. Animal exposures are currently being conducted with a 0.45 ..mu..m mean diameter glass microfiber material and the standard UICC crocidolite. A specialized method of restraining rats and hamsters for inhalation exposure was developed providing for aerosol exposure only tomore »« less
