“Nonspecific toxicity is a common problem associated with in vivo application of antisense oligonucleotides.However, by employing certain strategies including the use of partial rather than complete phosphorothioate modification, reducing the length of the oligonucleotide, and using a steady continuous infusion rather than bolus injections, we were able to minimize such toxicity (Van Kampen & Stoessl, 2000a).” (p. 309) Van Kampen et al., Neuroscience 2003;116:307-314.

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.
