Void spot assay visualization optimization for use of Void Whizzard in rats (Rattus norvegicus)
Physiological Reports, Volume 13, Issue 9, May 2025.Abstract Void spot assay (VSA) noninvasively evaluates urination. This study optimizes VSA by comparing post‐assay paper visualization techniques: bright field light (BF), ultraviolet light (UV), and ninhydrin spray (N). Male rats were placed in filter paper lined cages for 4 h. After the assay, all papers were dried.
