R-480 Nanoliter Microinjection Pump

The R-480 is designed for high-precision microinjection, with nanoliter volume injection using fine glass capillaries. Precise control of the internal plunger, coupled with a unique seal ring design, makes better air-tightness, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of injection.

Applications:

Rodents: Stereotaxic 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, and dyes.

Insects: nematodes, worms, fruit flies, cotton bollworms, rice lice, etc.

Overview

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.

Clients Say

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.
