Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

  All SOPs listed by numberOther SOPs 

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) provide a detailed description of commonly used procedures. SOPs offer investigators an alternative to writing detailed procedures in their protocol. Any deviation from the approved procedures must be clearly described and justified in the Animal Use Protocol application in Darwin. Approval of the protocol indicates approval of the deviation from the SOP for that project only. The following Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) were created and/or revised by the Veterinary Care Subcommittee and approved by the University Animal Care Committee.

New SOPs <NEW> and those with significant changes <REVISED> are labelled accordingly. If you have questions or have a recommendation to make, please send an animalcare [at] mcgill [dot] ca (email) or talk to the Veterinarian in your area.
