Glass Micropipette Beveler for submicron tips
Easier cell impalement resulting in less damage and longer cell life |
| |
|
|
An optically-flat mirrored glass disk, wetted with an abrasive slurry, spins at 60 rpm, ( or 50 rpm , 240 V ), producing sharply beveled tips on fluid-filled glass microelectrodes of one micron or smaller. This eases cell impalement and improves the electrode's linearity. The microelectrode's resistance can be monitored during beveling with WPI's Omega-Tip megohm meter . The beveler is permanently mounted on a precision magnetic plate that gives stable support for the optional 1350M Micropositioner shown. Start-up kit includes 0.05 µm alumina abrasive powder #3531, "O" ring, wick electrode, and wick support.
Micropositioner and magnetic stand not included. |
| The Model 1350M Micropositioner (shown with beveler above ) includes WPI's M3301R Manipulator and an M10 magnetic stand. The stand-manipulator assembly mounts directly onto the beveler baseplate, allowing convenient positioning of electrodes onto the beveling surface. With three axes of adjustment, including coarse and fine control in the axis of the electrode. |
