What’s Wrong With This Picture?

Don’t use your hands- use a scoop

Don’t leave chemical on the rack with the animals

What’s wrong here?

Cages on floor

Sentinel cage has no cage card-also, these don’t look like sentinel

mice (which are white)

What’s up here?

UP is the problem- mice above wire bar lid

The cages have SI cards, but no regular cage cards. The cages are

unidentified (no protocol or PI)

Cages stacked too high

What’s wrong here?

There should be TWO forceps

Hood is filthy

Cages covering the vent- this disrupts laminar air flow

Incorrect arrangement in the hood- dirty stuff in the middle of clean

supplies

Right. Dirty on one side, clean on the other

Rack being changed is too far away

Correct- rack has been pulled next to hood.

What’s wrong here?

Sentinel space invader

Moldy food

Spray hands with alcohol, NOT Quatricide

Wrong. Quat should not touch anything that will touch the mice.

Overcrowded rats

Warped wire bar lid. NEVER use defective equipment. Set it aside

and show it to your supervisor.

Don’t EVER open mouse cages outside of the hood.

No food

No eating in the facility. Don’t eat the mouse chow.

Correct way to tighten screw caps or stoppers

Don’t contaminate the sipper tube by touching it

Inhumanly white teeth
