XenoWorks® Digital Microinjector

Product Details

The XenoWorks® Digital Microinjector is designed primarily for transgenic mammal workstations and adherent cell, C. elegans, drosophila, zebrafish, xenopus and sea urchin injections. It is capable of holding oocytes and embryos while simultaneously providing a separate pressure channel for pronuclear microinjection of DNA or the gentle control of embryonic stem cells as they are transferred into blastocysts. The microinjector employs two independent pressure channels: Hold and Inject/Transfer, which are controlled via the remote user interface.

The hold port is a self-contained vacuum channel for gentle suspension-cell holding and can be switched on and off as needed. The responsive rotary control is used to dial the pressure up or down according to the degree of hold required.

Optimal ergonomics are again a prime consideration. The remote interface unit provides access to all keys and rotary controls necessary to manipulate the parameters in the two pressure channels, while the separate compressor controller can be positioned away from the microscope to eliminate vibration.
