Eppendorf FemtoJet Microinjection System




Important Features of FemtoJet

FemtoJet is the ideal microinjector for injecting aqueous solution into adherent and suspension cells. It features cutting-edge technology, a wide spectrum of functions, and simple handling. With its integrated compressor, the FemtoJet has an independent pressure supply. Its wide pressure range and adjustable pressure parameters set new standards for successful microinjection.

We have combined our FemtoJet with Eppendorf InjectManŽ NI2 to perform semi-automatic microinjection into adherent cells. It is also the ideal partner for non-Eppendorf microinjection systems.

Applications
  • Microinjection into adherent and suspension cells
  • Programmable injection parameters ensure reproducible microinjection
  • Built-in compressor provides independent pressure supply
  • Suitable for microinjections into adherent and suspension cells
  • Injection volumes ranging from femtoliters to nanoliters
  • Menu-controlled functions (e.g. for bubble pressure test; Schnorf et al. 1994, Exp. Cell Res. 210)
  • Inject and Clean functions activated manually or via mouse (supplied)
