Working with CellTram 4r Oil is like taking a breath of fresh air. Our new manual microinjector has been designed with special emphasis on excellent ergonomics, ease of use and highest precision. It covers a wide range of research applications and suits all personal working techniques.
Product information
The CellTram 4r Oil is a manual microinjector suitable for a broad range of life science applications. It is a hydraulic, oil-filled microinjector that provides more direct sample control and can generate higher pressures than an air system. It is optimized for leakage-free work and easy oil filling. The model can be used with all common micromanipulation systems yet it develops its full potential with Calibre Scientific manipulators. The CellTram 4r Oil injector is for research use only.
Applications
CSI of mouse and large mammals (e.g., equine, porcine...)
Holding of sensitive oocytes, embryos or small organisms
Piezo-assisted micromanipulation in combination with the Calibre Scientific PiezoXpert®
Transfer of cells or organelles (e.g., ES cell or iPS cell transfer into blastocysts or morulae)
Enucleation/nuclear transfer
(Xeno)transplantations
Removal of cells (e.g., for polar body biopsy, blastomere biopsy or trophectoderm biopsy)
Manual microinjection and dispensing of aqueous solutions
Single cell picking
