Lab Animal Infusion

Rodent Intermittent Infusion Systems

Intermittent Infusion Systems are designed for studies with breaks between dosing sessions. These pauses may be part of the study design or a 3Rs initiative aimed at reducing animal numbers by reusing rodents across multiple studies. For these studies to succeed, the system must allow for easy connection and disconnection of animals and include features which ensure clean and simple catheter maintenance.

Intermittent Infusion Systems require a pump, extension lines, swivel, swivel mount, tethers, and a catheter. These intermittent studies also focus on ease of connection and disconnection, co-housing options and maintaining functionality while the animal is disconnected from the infusion tether.

Our experienced staff is always available to help you find exactly what you need, so please don’t hesitate to contact us. Whether your focus is intermittent infusion, PK infusion with blood and/or bile collection, infusion in uncommon species, or a novel infusion model, we can help design a customized system tailored to your requirements.

MOUSE

Mice are valuable research species due to their small size and availability of knock-out models. Mouse Catheter Access Buttons™ simplify use and extend catheter patency for weeks.

RAT

The Catheter Access Button™ has revolutionized infusion systems, providing a clean, easy solution that improves animal welfare. However, the tail cuff method remains a reliable option for rats.

GUINEA PIG

Maintaining catheter patency for long-term studies can be challenging, but Catheter Access Buttons™ help. The easy-to-clean ports minimize issues by reducing pathogen introduction.
