The animals used during the workshop were laboratory rats designated for research purposes.
On Tuesday, October 8, 2024, the UIN Jakarta team participated in the Laboratory Management workshop, which involved Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) discussions. This discussion was essential for cooperative learning among the involved parties. Furthermore, on Thursday, October 10, the student team attended the State of the Art in Animal Research Facilities workshop, covering essential considerations in research involving rat samples. This provided new insights into understanding procedures for "animal research." In the final agenda, on Friday, October 11, the student team took part in the Hands-on Animal Handling Management workshop, learning in-depth about handling animals (rats) for research purposes. Practical sessions included blood sampling, anesthesia, and dissection by established procedures.
