Mouse intravenous self-administration connection

The Vascular Access Button™ for mice is ideal for addiction studies because the combined tether/IV line can be quickly and aseptically connected or disconnected when moving the mouse into or out of the operant chamber. Mice can be group housed when not in the chamber. The 2Fr mouse JVC is made to fit the 25ga connector on the button perfectly. The responsive spring counter-balanced lever arm is critical when working with mice.

Operant chamber systems are available from the following manufacturers:

  • Med Associates, Inc.
  • Lafayette Instrument
  • TSE Systems
  • Coulbourn Instruments (Harvard Apparatus)
  • Panlab SL (Harvard Apparatus)
