Protocol ECVO 5-step single fl ash is a modifi ed version of the ECVO 5-step protocol described above. The difference is while
the ECVO 5-step uses 4 fl ashes in the DA 0.01 and DA 3.0 steps in order to used averaging to improve signal quality, this single
fl ash version only uses 1 fl ash to minimize testing time. Replicates can be made in both protocols, and artefactual results
deleted. This protocol is recommended for NON-anesthetized or NON- sedated animals.

Protocol ECVO short, yes / no protocol is a modifi ed version of the ECVO 5-step single protocol. Only the dark-adapted steps
are performed. This protocol is recommended for NON-anesthetized or NON-sedated animals when only rod- and mixed rod-
cone retinal function is required to be assessed.
