Instech Laboratories, Inc. designs and manufactures 3Rs-friendly products for rodent infusion, sampling and oral gavage, including: sterile flush and lock solutions, flexible feeding tubes, catheters, tethers, Vascular Access Buttons™, swivels, infusion pumps, and automated blood samplers. Our most recent development is the Instech Syringe Pump, the first and only syringe pump designed to infuse laboratory animals. We support our customers in academic and pharmaceutical research laboratories by offering our products in standard and custom configurations, and by making them available directly from us and a network of distributors worldwide. 

Our U.S. headquarters, near Philadelphia, is configured for both design and manufacturing. It includes a machine shop and areas for mechanical, electronic and clean-room assembly. Our European office, outside Leipzig Germany, includes sales and customer service and a stock of selected products for rapid delivery.
