All infusible compounds are not created equal, so why should your infusion methods be? There are lots of available laboratory infusion tools for acute studies, static infusion rates, or tethered infusions, but when you need variable, non-tethered, chronic infusion, perhaps you’ve felt that the options are not so obvious.

We understand that sometimes your research requires infusion tools that can adapt to your study designs. The iPRECIO® Micro Infusion Pump from Primetech Corporation is the world’s first implantable, programmable, refillable infusion pump for mice and other small animals. Combined with top-class support from DSI, with the iPRECIO® Micro Infusion Pump, you have accurate, flexible, chronic infusion delivered just the way you need it.

Don’t settle for cookie-cutter infusion

iPRECIO® is Implantable

Reduce animal stress and risk of infection by subcutaneously implanting the iPRECIO infusion pump. Your subjects can move freely and behave normally, minimizing their stress levels, while you maintain complete control over dosage and delivery timing.

iPRECIO® is Programmable

‍The programmability of the iPRECIO® infusion pumps opens a new realm of possibilities for your infusion study designs. Whether you need constant, continuous infusion, periodic infusion at different rates, or something in between, the ability to do it all is now in your hands.The iPRECIO® software allows you to program simple infusion protocols to complex pharmacokinetic and tolerance-based protocols with flow rates ranging from 0.1 µl /hr to 30.0 µl/hr, all with the same tool. Application examples include:Build your protocols based on your needs, not the limitations of your tools.

• Dosing time or protocol relevance testing on small/large molecule therapeutic indices
• Circadian rhythm-based infusion
• Constant continuous/variable dose infusion
• Complex dosage simulations

‍iPRECIO® is Refillable

‍Your study doesn’t have to end just because the pump is empty. iPRECIO® infusion pumps can be refilled while in vivo, making chronic infusion studies of up to 6 months (implant model dependent) within your reach.Percutaneous access to the pump refill septum port makes it easy to refill the reservoir mid-study or even extract fluids from the reservoir, replacing them with different ones. The externally palpable elastic reservoir also provides a physical indicator of pumps performance and fluid levels, all of which mean:

• Less surgical intervention
• Increased flexibility by enabling the testing of varying drug concentrations and alternate agents of interest
• Maximized model use and increased subject welfare
