Labinsane

This tool helps researchers and veterinarians to calculate doses of analgesic, anesthetic and streptosotozin. Labinsane calculates intraperitoneal dose of streptozotocin for induction of diabetes in mice with a single dose (1). In addition, a formula is added to calculate the dose for anesthesia induction in C57 and Swiss micen (2), in order to reduce the risk of applying a higher or lower dose of these medicines and thus save time, animals and limited resources.
