Black scorpion (Heterometrus longimanus) as a laboratory animal: maintenance of a colony of scorpion for milking of venom for research, using a restraining device
Lab Anim.
1995 Oct.
Abstract
Scorpion venom is a rich source of many proteins and peptides. A method for collection of venom from scorpions using a restraining device is being described. The details and measurement of the restraining device as well as that of the current used are described.
