Abstract
Potency of anesthetics is quantitatively measured with laboratory-hatched larvae of the brine shrimp Artemia salina . Statistical fluctuations are minimized in that 100,000 animals are used to determine a single median anesthetic dose value. The technique was developed to study molecular mechanisms of general anesthesia.Keywords
