For more than 30 years, researchers have been introducing foreign molecules, such as DNA, RNA, proteins, toxins and dyes, into living cells using a technique called “microinjection.” This technique requires accurate instruments that can perform precise movements and gentle injections.

Our instruments for microinjection and micromanipulation enable you to reproducibly inject a defined amount of these foreign substances into individual targeted cells and/or subcellular structures. Common applications include transfection and analysis experiments, signal transduction, cytotoxicity testing, transgenic and “knockout” animals, and more.

Keep in mind, ensuring successful experiments is a 3-part picture: First, you need precision instruments like our micromanipulators and microinjectors. Second, you also need ultra-fine glass capillaries—like our Femotips^®, Vacutips and TransferTips^® glass capillaries—to target very specific areas of the cell, such as the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Often overlooked, but an equally important need, is expert support for your application. And yes, we have that, too!

From our knowledgeable Sales Applications Specialists to our expertly trained Service and Repair group, our entire team exhibits a strong passion for helping you achieve success with your experiments. Whether you’re doing adherent cell injections, transgenic animals or cutting-edge stem cell research, our combination of product and service excellence will have you up and running in no time, and we’ll be there with follow-up support when you need it.
