Removing the tail

Removing the tail
When draining the liquids which have been injected into the tail veins or when replacing the
tail, remove the tail by the following procedure.
CAUTION
If the tail is difficult to remove, it is possible that the inside of the mouse has dried out.
In this case, apply special lubricant through the base of the tail and the mouse's mouth
to improve the slipperiness. (Do not forcibly pull out the tail, otherwise it may damage
the tail mounting hole of the mouse's body.) If the tail still cannot be removed properly,
please return it to Sankyo Labo Service.

Points to note during handling

Points to note during handling
The main body has an extremely fine structure, and is made using materials that make it feel
just like a live mouse. Be sure to observe the following to avoid damage and deterioration.
* Do not pull or twist it firmly.
* Do not touch it with sharp objects such as cutter knives or needles.
* Be sure to follow the procedures given in "Cleaning" (P.3).
Use only the special lubricant which is included as an accessory. Using any other type of
lubricant may cause rapid deterioration of the mouse.
Drain capsule
Always wear gloves when handling the mouse to prevent dust or dirt from adhering to the mouse.
(During practice, this will also improve the sensation of carrying out an actual test.)
