Details

This kit is designed for retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in eye research applications. It is used with the NanoFil syringe and the UMPIII micro syringe pump to achieve accurate, repetitive, oil-free injections in the submicroliter range.

They are used exclusively with a a NanoFil™ syringe and UMP3 to achieve accurate and repeatable oil free injections down to submicroliter ranges.

Each kit includes two pieces of SilFlex tubing, a holder assembly, spare gaskets, and one each of 33, 34, 35 and 36 gauge blunt NanoFil needles so that first time users can find the best size for their application.

The SilFlex tubing is a very important component of the kit. This 35 cm long, flexible tubing has a precise outer diameter for airtight fitting with the syringe. It also has a small inner diameter to minimize dead volume. The SilFlex is coupled to the injection tip with a seal system similar to that of the NanoFil. The dead volume of the entire kit (including the tubing) is less than 3 microliters. All of the components in the kit are constructed of inert, solvent resistant materials for easy cleaning after viral injection.

What's Included

The kit includes two pieces of 35 cm long SilFlex tubing, a holder assembly, spare gaskets, and one each of the blunt needles: 33g, 34g, 35g, and 36g.
