SOPs (UZH/ETH AWOs)
Common SOPs
The veterinary office ZH as well as the VPs Research of UZH and ETH asked the Offices for Animal Welfare and 3Rs to establish common SOPs for often used procedures.
In the meantime a few SOPs were established.
If you want to share recently approved SOPs with other researchers you can send your SOPs with the corresponding license numbers to the AWOs (tierwohl(at)research.uzh.ch).
