Instech Syringe Pump P400

 264,000.00 incl. GST

The First Syringe Pump Specifically Engineered for Laboratory Animal Infusion Studies

Traditional syringe pumps are often adapted from industrial or clinical applications — designed for systems and subjects far removed from preclinical research. Industrial pumps typically lack essential safety controls, while hospital pumps are calibrated for human patients weighing up to 100,000 g, not small laboratory animals weighing as little as 25 g.

The Instech Model 400 Syringe Pump was developed from the ground up for laboratory animal infusion, by a team with decades of experience in preclinical research. Its design prioritizes precision, reliability, and animal welfare, ensuring accurate infusion control, reproducible dosing, and compliance with the highest standards and animal care.

By addressing the unique physiological and technical requirements of small-animal infusion, the Model 400 enhances both data quality and experimental integrity — setting a new benchmark for infusion research.

Description

Why choose the 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.
