Features

NANOLITER2020 is the complete system. 300704 is the NANOLITER2020 Injector Head only, and the controller and the accessories are not included.

  • Perform nanoliter volume injections using glass micropipettes
  • Nanoliter Injector works on the principle of Positive Displacement. An internal micrometer step motor precisely moves the metal plunger which pushes the oil inside the micropipette, and the oil-layer pushes nanoliter volumes of aqueous sample out of the pipette tip.
  • Fine control of plunger displacement along with proper sealing among gasket, glass micropipette, and oil ensures precision and accuracy
  • NANOLITER2020 System includes the 300704 NANOLITER Injector, the MICRO2T SMARTouch™ Controller and many necessary accessories (See Details)
  • MICRO2T SMARTouch™ controller is required to operate the 300704 Injector (The same MICRO2T controller can be used with UMP3 pumps.)
  • 300746 Spare Parts Kit required for use with the 300704 Injector
  • Glass micropipettes are not included with the 300704. Use WPI glass micropipettes or use glass capillaries (504949 or 504950) and a puller to make micropipettes.
  • Use a tweezer (501981) to scoop gaskets out of the NANOLITER2020 Injector Head
  • 300704 Injector Head comes with one set of gaskets installed in the injector to use with 1.1-1.15 mm OD fire-polished glass

Benefits of NANOLITER2020 Injector (300704)

  • Injections performed with mineral oil back-filled glass micropipettes, and the sample is front filled. This approach minimizes loss of any costly and scarce sample when a minute sample volume can be adequate. (See FAQ for details.)
  • Control up to two pumps simultaneously
  • Has capability to be easily mounted on a micromanipulator (e.g., M3301) or a stereotaxic frame (e.g. 505313) using the universal adapter 500778 (included)
  • Precise control over injection volumes (in the nanoliter to microliter range) and injection rates
  • Simple to use touchscreen interface and graphical representation of volume status on MICRO2T controller
  • LED run indicator offers a visual indication of connectivity
  • Perform the injection with a foot switch (optional)
  • Injector is compatible with different OD glass micropipettes (in the range of 1.1-1.5 mm)
  • NANOLITER2020 costs 15% less than the previous model (NL2010MC2T)!

Applications

Nanoliter to microliter injection into frogs (Xenopus oocytes), rats, mice, mosquitoes, shrimps, insects (e.g., Brown Planthopper), flies (e.g., Drosophila) and fish (Zebrafish) embryo using glass micropipettes
