Hello everybody,
I am doing physiology experiments with African catfish cannulated in the dorsal aorta; we are not 100% sure we are hitting the dorsal aorta but after cannulation we do get blood. But... varying from 1 to sometimes 3 days the cannula gets blocked. I really don't have a clue what is the reason as some fish give blood for over 4 days. As an anticoagulant I use SodiumCitrate 1%. Can anybody help me with useful information? Thanks a lot!
