The rate of flow has been calibrated to give precise delivery of liquids at delivery rates suitable for rewarding mouse, rat, and primate. The delivery dose is determined by the time duration of the operate signal. The pump has been designed specifically to be low noise in both the audible and electrophysiology spectrums. Tubing is made specially to Campden Instruments quality specifications in food grade Santoprene (silicone for primate).
Units are factory calibrated for delivery of water. When using liquids of different viscosity, the delivery rate may change slightly and require calibration by adjustment of the delivery period.
