The Instech Syringe Pump
First and Only Syringe Pump Designed for Laboratory Animal Infusions!
Until now, you had to choose between industrial and hospital pumps. Industrial pumps are built without patient safeguards and designed to deliver fluids at pressures exceeding 1000 PSI. In laboratory animal studies, occasional catheter occlusions are commonplace, and infusion sets as well as blood vessels rupture at a tenth of that pressure. Hospital pumps, on the other hand, are complex and expensive to operate, while animal research requires a reliable and user-friendly device.
The solution is the Instech syringe pump, designed from the ground up by a team with years of experience in laboratory animal infusions to improve data quality and animal safety.
Why choose Instech syringe pump?
If you're familiar with industrial pumps, like Harvard Apparatus, KD Scientific, New Era or Chemyx, the Instech P400 infusion pump is a good choice:
- 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, then choose the Instech syringe pump:
- 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.
