Intracellular injection

Designed to simplify intracellular injection and a variety of other microinjection tasks, WPI™s PicoPumps use carefully regulated air pressures for securing cells and injecting them with fluid. Injected volumes range from picoliters to nanoliters. Separate ports supply positive and negative pressure - positive pressure for high-pressure ejection, and suction for supporting the cell or for filling the pipette from the tip. A second pressure port maintains a low positive "holding" pressure to the injecting pipette between injection pulses, to prevent fluid up­take through capillary action or diffusion. Timing, ejection pressure, holding pressure, and suction are adjusted independently by control knobs and indicator gauges on the front panel. Injection pressure is controlled by a 20-turn regulator on the front panel. A built-in timing circuit allows precise control of the amount of time that the injection pressure is applied to the output port. Time intervals can range from 10 seconds down to 10 ms or less, depending on the eject pressure setting. The injection pressure interval can be triggered manually on the front panel, by footswitch, or by computer controlled TTL pulse. A 5 volt monitor output provides a logic-level pulse for your computer or other monitoring device.

PV830 Features

Eject pressure, Hold pressure, and Vacuum are all available, controlled by separate regulators on the front panel. Eject pressure supplies a high-pressure pulse for injecting fluid. Hold pressure, which is not sufficient to cause fluid ejection, is used to prevent back filling of the pipette by capillary action or diffusion when the solenoid is inactive. Pressure in the injection pipette is automatically switched between Eject and Hold pressure by a precision timing circuit that controls a solenoid valve. Vacuum is used to fill pipettes from the tip or to secure a floating cell during microinjection. Vacuum is regulated the same way, by a 20-turn knob on the front panel. Vacuum may be switched from regulated vacuum to atmosphere by using the pneumatic toggle on the front panel. Vacuum can also be routed to the eject port.

Ideal for zebrafish microinjection systems.
