A Device for Holding Rats for Thyroid Uptake Determinations

H. R. Murdock1,2, and Bert Blair

Huntington, West Virginia

ABSTRACT

An inexpensive apparatus is described for positioning rats and other small laboratory animals over a scintillation crystal for doing thyroid uptakes. The material necessary to build it is usually found in the laboratory. The radioisotope 125I is more satisfactory than 131I for doing the early uptakes as its gamma radiation is easier to shield, and it gives a value corresponding more closely to the in vitro value.
