ALZET pumps operate by osmotic displacement. An empty reservoir within the core of the pump is filled with the drug or hormone solution to be delivered.

Due to the presence of a high concentration of salt in a chamber surrounding the reservoir (but isolated from it by an impermeable layer), water enters the pump through its outer surface (a semipermeable layer).

The entry of water increases the volume in the salt chamber, causing compression of the flexible reservoir and delivery of the drug solution into the animal via the exit port.

Note: The nominal performance is a target for all pumps manufactured. Individual lots of pumps may vary from this target within limits. Each lot of ALZET osmotic pumps is tested at DURECT to determine the exact pumping rate and reservoir volume and to ensure accurate compound delivery. These data are provided with each order.
