Alzet Pump Specifications

Alzet osmotic pumps have been.

Alzet pump specifications. The alzet mini osmotic pump model 2002 delivers solutions continuously for at least 14 days without the need for external connections or frequent handling of animals. Implantable infusion pumps for continuous administration of test agents to unrestrained laboratory animals. Alzet pumps can be used for systemic administration when implanted subcutaneously or intraperitoneally. They can be at tached to a catheter for intravenous or intra arterial delivery.

Two iprecio pump versions are now available. We recommend use of the smallest size pump allowable for the solubility of the agent and duration of the experiment. As the solution moves through the tube it is expelled from the pump. A micro motor inside the pump slowly revolves in a clockwise direction turning the cam with its four projections.

The iprecio smp 200 is suitable for implantation in rats and larger animals and the iprecio smp 310r can be implanted in mice and larger animals detailed product specifications are listed below. 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. This continuous cycle compresses the liquid filled tube creating a peristaltic like movement of the fluid. Lot specific performance data.

Alzet pumps can be implanted subcutaneously or intraperitoneally following the animal size guidelines below. Alzet osmotic pumps have been a part of successful research for over 40 years. The rate then falls rapidly to zero. If your experiment requires immediate delivery it is best to prime the filled pumps see the filling and priming sections.

After priming each pump operates at a constant rate until about 95 of its volume has been delivered. Specifications alzet osmotic pumps there are 12 alzet osmotic pump models available in 3 physical sizes and a variety of release rates and durations. In each quarter rotation a single cam projection sequentially pushes up each of the seven finger pins. Pump refilling is possible via percutaneously accessible septum enabling researchers to change solutions or refill the pump during the course of the study.

Alzet mini osmotic pump model 2002 instruction and specification sheet durect corporation manufactures a miniature implantable pump for use in laboratory animals. If an alzet pump is loaded at room temperature 23º c with a solution also at room temperature and then placed in isotonic saline at 37º c the pumping rate will not reach steady state for several hours. Watch this short video for an overview of the alzet technology benefits and applications.
