A microinjection pump with a glass capillary. The precise displacement of the plunger pushes the liquid in the glass capillary for nanoliter injection, and a unique seal design ensures a tighter connection and better airtightness between the plunger and the glass capillary.
The R-480 is designed for high-precision microinjection, with nanoliter volume injection using fine glass capillaries. Precise control of internal plunger, coupled with a unique seal ring design, makes better air-tightness, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of injection.
Applications:
Rodents
Stereotactic injection of drugs, viruses, neurotransmitters or dyes into deep brain tissue in rats and mice
Fish and Frogs
Embryo/larvae injection of zebrafish, clawed toad and other model organisms with nucleic acid material, protein, dyes
Insects
nematodes, worms, fruit flies, cotton bollworms, rice lice, etc
Precise injection
Unique seal gasket design ensures precision and accuracy of injection;Precise plunger displacement control with error less than 1%, ensuring consistent injection volume each time
Easy to use
Visual touch interface with real-time display of the injection process;Auotmated injection counts by built-in software, no needs for manual counting;Multiple injection cycles can be programmed, without tedious manual Settings;Foot switch to control injection is available
Protective design
Experimental data can be stored well even the accidental power-off;Plug with anti-misalignment mark can safeguard instrument damage by misplacing the connection cable

The R-480 is excellent and the experience of using it is much better than other equipment which I previously used in our lab.For example, the design of the gasket is not necessary to remove, what's more, the glass micropipette can be inserted directly, and the airtightness is awesome. In addition, a light press on the reset button will bring the needle directly back to the home position.By the way, the maintenance cost of R-480 is lower than the previous.

The whole function is so good. Especially ,the original data will be saved in during experiment even the accidental power off . This design is very humane.
