		Mohs' technique, a technique of microscopically controlled serial excision of skin cancers in which the tissue to be removed is first fixed in situ with zinc chloride paste (Mohs' chemosurgery), or in which only serial excisions of fresh tissue are used for microscopic analysis (Mohs' surgery).
		Southern blot technique, a technique for transferring DNA fragments separated by agarose gel electrophoresis to a nitrocellulose filter, on which specific fragments can then be detected by their hybridization to probes, which were labeled radioactively in the original technique but are now often labeled using nonradioactive methods.
		Southwestern blot technique, a technique analogous to Southern blot technique but in which proteins are separated electrophoretically, transferred to a nitrocellulose filter, and probed with radioactive or otherwise labeled fragment of DNA; performed to detect expression of a specific DNA binding protein, such as a transcription factor.

		Aseptic technique involves preparation of the facility, the animal, the operator and instruments and supplies in such a manner that they are sterile to start with and so they can be used in a manner which keeps them sterile.
		In theory, aseptic technique for rodent surgery is no different than that for any other species, including man. In practice, rodent surgery is approached differently for a number of reasons.
		Based on observations of many "rodent surgeons", the two steps that would most improve their aseptic technique are 1) a surgical drape on the animal, and 2) the provision of a sterile surface to put their instruments on between use.

	Infection Control Today: Aseptic Technique
		Proper aseptic technique is one of the most fundamental and essential principles of infection control in the clinical and surgical setting.
