Dual-Channel Stainless Steel Infusion Swivels

A two-channel swivel gives you the ability to infuse and withdraw simultaneously, to infuse on one channel while monitoring on the other, or to infuse on two lines independently. The torque required to rotate this swivel is even lower than our 56-1324 Single Channel Swivel, making it the first dual channel swivel that can be used with mice. Dual channel swivels are a bit more delicate than single channel models, particularly the side channel. With proper care and use, dual channel swivels can last for many years.

• A variety of sizes
• Tether included
• Custom swivels available by special order

The torque required to rotate this swivel is even lower than our 56-1324 Single Channel Swivel, making it the first dual channel swivel that can be used with mice. The 75-0277 Low-Torque Dual Channel Swivel has a design similar to the 72-0000 Low-Torque Dual Channel Swivel for Microdialysis, but uses stainless steel tubing instead of quartz for improved durability. It is intended for infusion and blood sampling with mice. The OD is 22 gauge; the ID is equivalent to 25 gauge. All stainless steel models include a universal swivel-to-tether clamp that connects to all of our standard spring tethers.

About Harvard Apparatus/Instech Swivels
The swivel, a device that rotates to keep the cannula from tangling, is a critical part of any continuous animal infusion system. The Harvard/Instech Fluid Swivels have been in laboratory use for more than 30 years and have earned a reputation as the finest in the industry. Every swivel is precision machined to ensure ease of rotation, durability and reliability. The design minimizes internal dead volume and eliminates stagnant regions along the fluid path. Fluids passing through the swivel touch only stainless steel tubing and special self-adjusting PTFE seals.
