Abstract
Blood is collected from laboratory animals for various scientific purposes, for example, to study the effects of a test drug on various constituents, such as hormones, substrates, or blood cells. In the field of pharmacokinetics and drug metabolism, blood samples are necessary for analytical determination of the drug and its metabolites. Blood is also needed for some in vitro assays using blood cells or defined plasma protein fractions.
