Alzet Pump Specifications
Alzet osmotic pumps have been a part of successful research for over 40 years.
Alzet pump specifications. The rate then falls rapidly to zero. Alzet pumps can be used for systemic administration when implanted subcutaneously or intraperitoneally. 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. As the solution moves through the tube it is expelled from the pump.
Two iprecio pump versions are now available. If your experiment requires immediate delivery it is best to prime the filled pumps see the filling and priming sections. The nominal performance is a target for all pumps manufactured. This continuous cycle compresses the liquid filled tube creating a peristaltic like movement of the fluid.
Alzet osmotic pumps have been. 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. Implantable infusion pumps for continuous administration of test agents to unrestrained laboratory animals.
Alzet pumps can be implanted subcutaneously or intraperitoneally following the animal size guidelines below. After priming each pump operates at a constant rate until about 95 of its volume has been delivered. A micro motor inside the pump slowly revolves in a clockwise direction turning the cam with its four projections. Lot specific performance data.
They can be at tached to a catheter for intravenous or intra arterial delivery. 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. Specifications alzet osmotic pumps there are 12 alzet osmotic pump models available in 3 physical sizes and a variety of release rates and durations. Watch this short video for an overview of the alzet technology benefits and applications.
We recommend use of the smallest size pump allowable for the solubility of the agent and duration of the experiment. 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 osmotic pumps are small implantable pumps for research in mice rats and other laboratory animals.
