Our VR Mouse Injection Training platform enables learners to practise and perfect essential laboratory techniques in a fully interactive environment. Developed in collaboration with animal research professionals and educators, these simulations make traditionally stressful and resource-heavy training accessible, ethical, and repeatable. Users can perform step-by-step procedures such as intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, intravenous, and oral gavage injections, all while learning the correct handling, restraint, and aseptic methods used in real-world research environments. Each simulation combines theoretical knowledge with realistic hands-on practice. Ensuring consistency, safety, and confidence at every stage.

Key Features:

Intraperitoneal Injection: Practise administering substances into the peritoneal cavity using proper restraint, positioning, and needle angle. All within a risk-free virtual environment designed to reinforce technique and precision.

Subcutaneous Injection: Learn how to safely deliver injections beneath the skin at the scruff of the neck. Gain familiarity with correct restraint and site identification without causing discomfort or harm to live animals.

Intravenous Injection: Develop confidence performing lateral tail vein injections, from vein identification to needle insertion and post-procedure care, using detailed, realistic 3D models for guidance.

Oral Gavage: Understand the correct process for administering substances orally via gavage, including mouse positioning, oesophagus alignment, and safe handling techniques to prevent injury.

Intracerebral Injection: Train in advanced stereotaxic techniques for precise intracerebral delivery. Learn to position the mouse within a stereotaxic frame, identify brain landmarks, and perform controlled injections. All in a guided, risk-free environment that reinforces accuracy and care.

Immersive Lab Environment: Step into a detailed, virtual laboratory built to mirror real-world research spaces. Engage with realistic 3D models of essential laboratory tools, including syringes, restraint devices, and stereotaxic equipment. Learners engage with authentic equipment and tools, gaining familiarity and confidence before transitioning to physical practice.

Step-Based System: Each module follows a guided, structured process that integrates theory, technique, and reflection. This approach builds both procedural knowledge and hands-on proficiency through repetition and feedback.
