In order not to harm the species’ tissue, the pulsation of the pump is significantly reduced by using a special pulsation damper. Moreover, the temperature of the dosed pharmaceutical agents can be maintained stable with a heat exchanger attached around the pump head.
Typical dosed agents are buffers with a high salt concentration; therefore, the devices’ components are subject to harsh conditions. The pumps’ important internal components are easy to clean - including an option for seal wash - to avoid contamination, which is essential in a pharmaceutical environment. This also increases the devices’ lifetime and minimised possible downtime.
A traditional way to supply these medicines has been by batch-wise dosing them using a simple syringe or syringe pumps. However, those solutions lack of exact control over the actual dose provided during the time, introducing a large uncertainty in the actual dosed amount in the traditional way. Moreover, WADose high pressure pump improves the throughput of an experiment, as it does not have to be refilled on regular bases. The current solution enhances reproducibility, and excludes errors in the administering to a large extent.
