Plastination Technique in Laboratory Rats: an Alternative Resource for Teaching, Surgical Training and Research Development
Today, alternatives methods are developed for the use of laboratory animals for teaching, research and surgical training. In our work we present a novel alternative to the use of rats, by developing a technique of plastination at room temperature. High-quality rat preparations from the anatomical di...
