| + | Additionally, IVIS Lumina LT is equipped with a [[https://www.kentscientific.com/products/somnoflo/?srsltid=AfmBOoo0Ou5Ldx5Qcyl9O-LhECWrG5Y_qDed5DOdSe9kc8OGR6y0p3su|SomnoFlo® anaesthesia system]] for experiments with live animals using isoflurane. This system allows the use of smaller amounts of anaesthesia when carrying out live-imaging experiments, keeps mice stable during image acquisition, and reduces their recovery time, preventing the loss of animals. The setup is currently able to keep **up to three mice receiving vaporized isoflurane inside the IVIS Lumina LT**, while being imaged at the same time. | ||

| + | Users that are planning on using the anaesthesia system should contact the **Rodent Platform's designated veterinarian, Daniel Costa** (daniel.costa@gimm.pt), to schedule a training session. | ||
