“However, the s.c. mini-osmotic pump delivery of recombinant leptin raised circulating leptin into the physiological range (Table 2). These data confirmed the effectiveness of the s.c. infusion of leptin at 0.1 mg/day in restoring serum leptin levels.” Zhang et al. Journal of Endocrinology 2002; 174:455-461.

 

ALZET® Osmotic Pumps are miniature, infusion pumps for the continuous dosing of laboratory animals as small as mice and young rats. These minipumps provide researchers with a convenient and reliable method for controlled agent delivery in vivo.

ALZET® Osmotic Pumps require no external connections or researcher intervention during the entire delivery period. Their unique design helps researchers save critical time by eliminating the need for frequent animal handling and repetitive injection schedules. These dependable drug delivery systems have proven invaluable in predictably sustaining compounds at therapeutic levels, avoiding potentially toxic or misleading side effects and ensuring accurate research results. An assortment of sizes, flow rates and durations is available to meet a variety of research needs. A single ALZET pump provides up to 6 weeks of continuous infusion.
