5 gm Tablet – 1" dia. x 1/4" high Shelf Life: 12 months, cool dry storage
SCIDS Breeder formulas was developed as a 10 times lower dosage option, to effectively eliminate PCC in immunocompromised rodents, and eliminate the effects on breeding due to hypothyroidism that was observed in animals receiving the standard higher SCIDS standard dosage. Trimethoprim and Sulfamethoxazole are efficaciously dosed in a highly palatable tablet with a high acceptance by rodents for ease of dosing a large number of rodents over a period of time while saving labor costs than more traditional dosing methods. Additionally, the diet can be fed as a prophylaxis to other immunocompromised rodent models.
An effective method to reduce the hazards of respiratory problems in immunocompromised mice
Mice: For best acceptance, introduce Bio-Serv’s placebo tablets 1-2 days prior to introduction of MD’s. Remove standard feed from food hopper. Tablets can be placed on cage floor level for immobilized animals or in feed hopper to replace standard diet. Feed diet ad libitum to provide both daily medication dosage and dietary requirements of mouse. On average a standard mouse will consume 1 tablet per day.
Rats: For best acceptance, introduce Bio-Serv’s placebo tablets 1-2 days prior introduction of MD’s. Provide one MD tablet per rat per day to provide daily medication dosage and nutritional supplementation to standard feed. Tablets can be placed cage floor level or in feeder dish. Rat’s daily standard feed should remain in feed hopper.
