The Instech Syringe Pump
The First and Only Syringe Pump Designed to Infuse Laboratory Animals
Until now, you've been forced to choose between industrial and hospital pumps:
Industrial pumps with no patient safety features that are designed to deliver fluids at over 1000 PSI, when in animal research occasional catheter occlusions are a fact of life and both infusion sets and blood vessels will burst at pressures one-tenth this level.
Or hospital pumps that are complex and expensive, when for animal research you want a device that's reliable and easy-to-use.
The Instech Syringe Pump has been designed from the ground up by a team with decades of experience in laboratory animal infusion to improve the quality of your data and the safety of your animals.
Why choose Instech syringe pump?
If you're familiar with industrial pumps, like Harvard Apparatus, KD Scientific, New Era or Chemyx...
- For animal safety. The pump monitors pressure to alert you to occlusions before they become a disaster.
- For data quality. Monitoring for occlusions gives you confidence your dose went into the animal, not the bedding.
- For superior flow performance. It has smoother flow on the low end and higher speeds on the top end.
If you're familiar with pumps originally designed for human medicine, like Baxter/SAI, OrchesTA or Medfusion...
- For ease of use. The pump features a modern touchscreen and a simplicity that hospital pumps can't match.
- For accuracy. Rigid construction and a unique clutchless design lead to accuracy of ±0.5% compared to 2-3% for most clinical pumps.
- For low flow studies. With smooth microliter flow rates, the pump is ideal for intrathecal dosing, microdialysis and mouse infusion, applications where pumps designed for humans become useless.
- For lower cost. The pump has the safety features of a clinical pump but the price of a laboratory pump, and design that's at the beginning of its life not the end.
