NANOFIL-100

Overview

• World's smallest dead volume injection syringe
• Use with WPI needles 33-36g
• Fits UMP3 microinjection pump

NanoFil™ is a specially designed microliter syringe developed for improved microinjection in mice and other small animals.

The interchangable needles advance directly into the syringe barrel, creating a 1:1 connection with the plunger — a truly gas-tight system built for low-volume sample control.

Benefits

• Very low dead volume injections
• Biologically compatible injection syringe (All the seals are constructed of inert materials for better chemical and biological compatiblity)
• Switching the syringe tip during an experiment is easy
• Variety of injection tips
• Unique tri-beveled needles for easier penetration
• No oil backfilling necessary - In traditional nanoliter injection, the dead volume of the syringe and needle is backfilled with oil as a displacement transfer. This makes the process messy and risks contamination of the injected sample. NanoFil's low volume, flexible tubing eliminates the need for oil. Injection is now simpler, and less messy, and there is no possibility of oil contamination in critical applications such as ophthalmology research (please see the Retinal Pigment Epithelial (RPE) and Intra Ocular (IO) injection kits.

How it works

When the inner diameter of the tip on a conventional syringe is reduced to less than 100 micron, it is very difficult to back fill the solution at a reasonable speed. NanoFil solves this problem by using a tip coupling mechanism that makes it possible to change the syringe tip during the experiment. It makes quantitative nanoliter injection much easier and more accurate than any other method currently in use.

What's Included

The NANOFIL-100 includes a 100 µL syringe and to aid with filling, a 26 gauge needle.

Use with NanoFil Injection Needles (sold separately).

NanoFil Injection Needles

Specially designed tips as small as 36 gauge (110 micron OD) are offered in both blunt and beveled styles. Our studies have shown that these tips will cause less trauma to the tissue than any other form of micro syringe currently in use. NanoFil has a unique coupling mechanism that allows many different forms of small tubing and tips to be coupled with the syringe barrel.

NOTE: With a 26g needle, the Nanofil 100µl syringe is ideal for CFA  (Complete Freunds Adjuvant) injection applications.
