(October 7, 2020) WEBINAR: Experimental Design for Chronic Telemetry Studies

Ensuring you collect the best and most physiologically accurate data from your chronic telemetry experiments requires careful planning and experimental design. This webinar gave an insight into the practical aspects of designing chronic animal experiments to set you on the best path for success. We discussed the benefits of chronic studies, how to select the most appropriate sample size for your study, some basic tips and tricks for data acquisition and handling and finally how to ensure high animal welfare.

Learning Objectives:

  • What are the benefits of chronic over acute studies?
  • How to decide the best sample sizes and the length of experiments?
  • Basic tips for data acquisition and handling
  • How to maintain high animal welfare standards
