Why choose Instech?

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.

FAQ

What is the Instech P400 Syringe Pump designed for?

The Instech P400 Syringe Pump is designed specifically for infusing laboratory animals, offering precise, programmable flow rates in a compact format suited for tethered and ambulatory infusion systems in mice and rats.

How does the Instech P400 differ from standard industrial syringe pumps?

Unlike industrial syringe pumps adapted for animal research, the P400 was purpose-built for the demands of in vivo infusion: low dead volume, high accuracy at low flow rates, compatibility with standard Instech tethers and swivels, and a small footprint suitable for use outside or above animal cages.

What syringe sizes are compatible with the Instech P400?

The P400 accommodates a range of standard syringe sizes typically used in rodent infusion studies. It is compatible with common luer-lock syringes and can be configured for the flow rates and volumes appropriate for mouse and rat chronic infusion protocols.

Is technical support for the Instech Syringe Pump available in Israel?

Yes. NBT Ltd distributes Instech products in Israel and provides full local technical support, installation guidance, and protocol assistance for syringe pump infusion setups.
