3 Small Animal Infusion Swivels ST Dual Channel Swivel ST Single Channel Swivel Stainless Steel Swivels Key Features: Lifetime warranty on single channel swivels Autoclavable single channel swivels Single and dual channel models available A swivel is a device that is inserted into a fluid path so that the infusion line can rotate as the animal moves. It is a critical part of any tethered animal infusion system. The Instech fluid swivels have been in laboratory use for forty years and have earned a reputation as the finest in the industry. Single Channel Swivels Single channel stainless steel swivels are autoclavable and may be reused hundreds of times. Self-adjusting seals, at the heart of every swivel, actually improve with use. All stainless steel models include a universal swivel-to-tether clamp which mates with any of our spring tethers. Dual Channel Swivels A two channel swivel gives you the ability to infuse and withdraw simultaneously to infuse on one channel while monitoring on the other, or to infuse on two lines independently. Dual channel swivels are a bit more delicate than single channel models, particularly the side channel. With proper care and use, dual channel swivels can last for many years. Microdialysis swivels For years, the Dual Channel Swivel has been the industry standard for awake animal microdialysis. It features quartz lining on the center channel to minimize dead volumes and reactivity with neurotransmitters. The newer uses a completely different seal design with two significant improvements: quartz lining on both the center and side channels, and extremely low frictional torque, making it the first dual channel swivel that can be used with mice. Disposable polysulfone swivels also available in 20, 22, and 25 gauge. Check out our CMA line of microdialysis probes and fraction collectors!

4 Infusion Cages & Counter-Balanced Level Arms Rodent Infusion Cages No sharp corners Tethers less likely to tangle Probes less likely to dislodge Durable polycarbonate for long life Durabable polycarbonate cages designed to house tethered rodents during short-term infusion and microdialysis experiments. Since the cage is round, tethers will not tangle as they sometimes can in shoebox-type cages. Also, animals are less likely to dislodge sensitive probes since there are no sharp corners. Handles at the top make it easy to move the cage, and it interfaces flawlessly with the counter-balanced lever arms (see below).

Most other lever arms use a mass as the counterbalance; ours uses an adjustable spring, making it lighter and more responsive. The mounting plate can be adjusted for mounting to the side or top of many types of cages, including the and Animal Infusion Cages (see above). If you are using a shoebox-type cage, a counter-balanced lever arm can prevent the tether from tangling. The is typically used for studies with rats; the is ideal for any continuous infusion study involving mice. Additional swivel mount options available. Contact Technical Support for more information.

5 Small Animal Infusion Vascular Access Harness Vascular Access Harness TM Septum permits aseptic technique Quick connection Minimal backflow Low profile Single and dual channel options available The Instech Vascular Access Harness (VAH), an advancement on the original Covance Infusion Harness, permits quick and aseptic connection and disconnection of a catheterized rat or mouse and an infusion tether. The VAH consists of a small external port (or two ports, in the case of the dual channel model) housed in a harness which is installed at the same time that the catheter is implanted. The catheter is attached to a connector built into the port under the harness dome. The port and catheter are filled with lock solution to maintain patency during transport. To begin an infusion or blood sampling study, simply remove the cap, wipe the septum with disinfectant and plug the mating VAH tether into the harness. A recessed septum-piercing needle built into the tether makes the fluid connection through the port. Like a subcutaneous access port, the VAH is a closed system; tether connection does not introduce contamination or air. Furthermore, retrograde flow, which can lead to occluded catheters, is virtually eliminated.

6 Vascular Access Button and PinPorts BOTTOM VIEW Silicone Septum Polyester Surgical Felt Rigid Polyurethane Body Stainless Steel Couple Vascular Access Button TM Features an external port with a septum for closed systems Ideal for longer-term studies Available for rats and mice Button tethers are surgically implanted under the skin. In older models the catheter passes through an opening in the stalk of the button through a spring tether and up to a swivel. The Instech Vascular Access Button (VAB) features an external port with a septum to create a closed system. Compared to harnesses, buttons require a bit more work in surgery, however, there are no belly bands that require adjustment and with proper tissue ingrowth, buttons can be a good option for longer-term studies. All supplied sterile and individually, unless otherwise noted.

The Instech PinPort provides fast, aseptic access to externalized rodent catheters or tubing for dosing or blood sampling. It is designed for intermittent, manual access; it is not designed to be connected to a tether and swivel for removal or continuous access (see Vascular Access Harness or Vascular Access Button). The PinPort is available in white or red with 22 ga or 25 ga couples. Colors can be used to distinguish vessels. One injector works with all PinPort varieties.
