Microinjectors

Microinjection processes use either metal microinjection needles or glass micropipettes to inject small liquid volumes. For example, genetic material may be inserted into a living cell, a drug introduced into an eye or brain, or fluid injected into a muscle. Typically, microinjection is performed under a microscope. A stereotaxic frame setup may be required.

WPI's customizable Microinjection System has everything you need to get started. We can help you customize your system with many options and microinjection system accessories. The basic system includes Microinjection pump like the PV850 Microinjector with External Pressure Source, an LED lighted microscope base with a PZMIII Stereo Microscope and an articulating mirror, a micromanipulator, and many accessories.

WPI offers a variety of pumps along with special syringes, stereotaxic frames, glass capillaries and needles. The setup you choose depends on the size of your microinjection aliquots, the volume to be injected and the size of needle or glass tip you choose. In addition, we offer an electroporator for transfection procedures.

Whether you are working with Danio rerio (zebrafish), Xenopus, Drosophila or Caenorhabditis elegans, we can help you customize a microinjection system for your application.
