In the realm of experimental animal research, especially involving small animal models such as mice, precision tools are vital for establishing disease models and evaluating the efficacy of drugs. Accurate and repeatable data obtained through non-invasive observation is essential for validating drug mechanisms and accelerating preclinical studies. Shinova Medical Co., Ltd. has developed the Mice Colonoscope, a specialized tool designed for research institutions to support rectal modeling in small animals. This device provides a reliable and ethical way to evaluate drug efficacy and toxicity, promoting faster and more efficient scientific advancement.
Establishing stable rectal disease models in mice is a fundamental step in experimental drug evaluation. Traditionally, researchers relied on euthanizing animals and slicing tissues for pathological analysis, which often led to sample variability and ethical concerns. The Mice Colonoscope, equipped with a 4K ultra-high-definition imaging system, enables real-time, non-invasive visualization of the rectal mucosa. Researchers can observe inflammatory responses, tumor formations, and other pathological features in live animals, which improves both data consistency and animal welfare.
The system’s high resolution helps detect subtle changes such as vascular proliferation, fibrosis, or mucosal damage, which are key indicators in evaluating a drug’s therapeutic effects. These real-time insights allow researchers to promptly assess the success of rectal modeling and verify whether the model accurately mimics human disease conditions for testing purposes.
The device also supports multi-angle imaging and magnification, enabling researchers to focus on microscopic lesions or hard-to-reach areas. This enhances precision in evaluating drug effects, especially in studies involving colorectal cancer, IBD, or other gastrointestinal diseases.
The ultra-thin flexible probe of the Mice Colonoscope allows it to be safely used on small animals like mice or rats. This design enables researchers to perform repeated observations over the course of an experiment without harming the animal, supporting longitudinal studies that require tracking changes over time.
By reducing the need to sacrifice animals at every observation point, the Mice Colonoscope supports ethical research practices while also reducing variability. Observing the same animal throughout an experiment ensures consistent environmental and physiological conditions, which enhances data reproducibility and reliability.
This operational flexibility aligns with the “3Rs” principle—Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement—by minimizing animal suffering and reducing the number of animals needed for a study. The Mice Colonoscope helps institutions meet international ethical standards in animal experimentation.
The integrated biopsy module enables researchers to collect tissue samples during endoscopic observation without sacrificing the animal. This improves ethical compliance while also facilitating histological or genetic analysis for more in-depth research on drug toxicity or efficacy.
The video recording system allows the entire procedure to be documented in high resolution, providing a permanent research record that enhances data traceability and peer review. These recordings can be shared, reviewed, and used in publications, ensuring scientific rigor and transparency.
This integration of live imaging, biopsy, and video capture makes the Mice Colonoscope a comprehensive tool for preclinical research. It helps researchers evaluate therapeutic effects, monitor disease progression, and collect data—all while maintaining animal welfare standards.
The Mice Colonoscope was specifically developed to support mice rectal modeling in pharmaceutical research. It allows scientists to create and validate disease models such as colorectal cancer or IBD efficiently. By observing pathological changes in real-time, researchers can evaluate the efficacy of drug candidates without unnecessary animal sacrifice.
In gene therapy studies, the colonoscope helps monitor changes in intestinal phenotypes after gene editing, aiding in assessing the therapeutic success of genetic interventions targeting gastrointestinal conditions.
By enabling real-time tissue observation and sampling, the device also supports gut microbiome research. It allows scientists to investigate how experimental drugs interact with intestinal flora, leading to more personalized treatment strategies.
Unlike clinical veterinary endoscopes, the Mice Colonoscope is exclusively optimized for scientific research on small animals. It directly addresses the needs of preclinical researchers, offering specialized features for high-precision drug evaluation.
With ultra-clear imaging and traceable biopsy functions, it provides scientifically valid results that accelerate drug development and support regulatory submissions.
Its non-invasive design reduces stress on laboratory animals and helps researchers comply with ethical guidelines, reinforcing Shinova’s commitment to responsible animal research.
Shinova Medical Co., Ltd.’s Mice Colonoscope has revolutionized the way researchers approach small animal models in pharmaceutical research. With features designed to support mice rectal modeling, non-invasive drug efficacy evaluation, and longitudinal observation, this tool provides a powerful solution for modern preclinical studies.
