Tail Vein Injection Apparatus(Used for Mice 17-40 g) - Biofargo

Description

The Biofargo Tail Vein Injection Apparatus takes the guesswork out of mouse tail vein injections. A built-in 3 W yellow LED lights up the lateral tail veins while a gentle pressure system engorges the vessels — so the vein is clearly visible and easy to hit on the first attempt. The result: faster intravenous (IV) dosing, fewer failed sticks, and beginners performing like experienced technicians in seconds.

Designed for mice weighing 17–40 g, the apparatus secures the animal in a comfortable, stable position and gives the operator clear visual confirmation that the needle is in the vein.

Specifications

Why researchers choose it

• LED vein visualization: a 3 W yellow LED makes the lateral tail veins easy to see — even on dark-pigmented strains like C57BL/6, where veins are hardest to locate by eye.

• Engorged, accessible veins: a built-in pressure system drives blood to the distal tail so vessels are full and easy to access.

• Stable, low-stress restraint: a quick-install tube holds the mouse comfortably and prevents movement during injection.

• Visual needle confirmation: watch the vein move as the needle is positioned to confirm correct placement — no guessing by feel.

• Beginner-friendly: shortens the learning curve and improves first-attempt success across your team.

Applications

• Pharmaceutical Research: Efficient and precise administration of drugs in preclinical studies.

• Gene Therapy: Introduction of vectors or genetic materials into the bloodstream.

• Vaccination Studies: Delivery of vaccines for immunological research.

• Disease Modeling: Establishment of animal models for biomedical research.

FAQ

• What is the Biofargo tail vein injection apparatus used for?

  It restrains a mouse and uses a 3 W LED plus a pressure system to make the lateral tail veins clearly visible and full, so researchers can perform fast, accurate IV (intravenous) injections.

• How does the LED light improve tail vein injection? 

  The yellow LED illuminates the tail so the caudal/lateral veins stand out, making the injection site easy to target and reducing failed attempts.

• What size mice does it fit?

  Mice weighing 17–40 g, with interchangeable fixators for different sizes.

• Does it work on dark-coated mice with hard-to-see veins? 

  Yes — vein illumination is especially helpful on dark-pigmented strains like C57BL/6, where the veins are hardest to see by eye. (Light-tailed/albino strains are easier to begin with, and warming still helps.)

• Is it suitable for beginners? 

  Yes. Visual vein targeting and needle-placement confirmation shorten the learning curve and improve first-attempt success for new technicians.

• How do I confirm the needle is in the vein? 

  Watch the vein move as you position the needle — the apparatus gives visual confirmation instead of relying on feel alone.

• What are the power requirements? 

  The included adapter takes AC 100–220 V, 50 Hz and outputs DC 12 V, 2 A, so it works with standard lab power.
