Holliston, Mass.-based Harvard Apparatus has released its Pump 11 Elite glucose clamp infusion system for academic euglycemic or hyperglycemic glucose clamp studies. The system is touted as a time-saving syringe pump enhancement that offers quick and simple set-up using an innovative touch screen display. The built-in software capabilities reportedly reduce the potential for error by providing accurate fluid delivery. The three major features offered by the glucose clamp program to simplify glucose clamp studies are: the ability to enter in a desired concentration, animal weight, and dose rate in the syringe pump and then use that information to properly set the infusion rate automatically; the ability to change the dose rate during infusion, which allows the execution of complex infusion procedures without the need to start and stop the process; and the ability to view the previous dose rate setting while the pump is running, which allows for easy monitoring. When the dose rate is changed, the last dose rate set and its duration is clearly displayed. Harvard Apparatus makes specialized products for bioresearch.
