Now Using iPrecio® for Safety Assessments with Low Infusion Rates

Mar 07 2012

In a GLP-compliant setting, administering low drug volumes in safety assessments requires a reliable and reproducible micro-infusion delivery system. For studies with nonstandard routes of administration (e.g., intracerebral, intrathecal or subcutaneous), low infusion rates are generally required.  

Charles River can now use the iPrecio^® pump in a regulated environment for studies that require very low infusion rates.

Features of this micro-infusion delivery system include:

• Low infusion rate of 1 to 30 µL/hr

• Accurate and reproducible volume delivery

• Subcutaneous implantation

• Refillable pump reservoir, which reduces animal stress

• Flexible programming, which allows for different vehicle or alternate solution rates postoperatively

• Programming of dosing cycle and/or washout period between formulations tested for combination schemes
