Alzet Pumps Mice

These minipumps deliver drugs hormones and other test agents at continuous and controlled rates for durations ranging from one day to six weeks without the need for external connections or frequent handling.
Alzet pumps mice. Alzet osmotic pumps implantable infusion pumps for continuous administration of test agents to unrestrained laboratory animals. Infection risk is reduced compared to tethered infusion models. Continuous delivery eliminating peak and trough fluctuations test agent effects develop fully and are easily reproduced which is particularly advantageous for agents with short half lives. Alzet osmotic pumps are small implantable pumps for research in mice rats and other laboratory animals.
The alzet product line consists of miniature implantable pumps and a range of accessories for experimental research in mice rats and other laboratory animals. Other regions may be used provided that the pump does not put pressure on vital organs or impede respiration. Once implanted animals are unrestrained and can move freely in their cages during drug infusion. Alzet pumps continuously deliver drugs hormones and other test agents at controlled rates for durations ranging from 1 day to 6 weeks.
The usual site for subcutaneous implantation of alzet pumps in mice and rats is on the back slightly posterior to the scapulae. Alzet pumps can be implanted subcutaneously or intraperitoneally following the animal size guidelines below. Test solutions can be exchanged or replenished via percutaneous access to the pump through a re sealable septum. Alzet pumps may also be connected to a catheter to deliver the pump contents directly into the venous or arterial systems the brain or into any organ or tissue.
