Video Clips

ALZET Pump Overview
This video provides an overview of the ALZET technology, benefits and applications.
This video describes proper filling of the ALZET pump and and surgical techniques for implantation in rats and mice (including subcutaneous and intraperitoneal implantation, and the use of a catheter for intravenous, intrathecal, intragastric, and cranial/cerebral infusion).
Mechanism of Operation
This video shows the parts of the pump and describes how the pump operates to enable continuous delivery of experimental agents.
Lab Animals
This video shows lab animals implanted with ALZET pumps, and  describes how ALZET pumps improve animal welfare by reducing the stress caused by repetitive injections and frequent animal handling.
