MP-500 Micropipette Puller

MP-500 is a horizontal motorized micropipette puller, designed to make the fabrication of micropipettes reproducible and easier.

It offers micropipettes with tip diameters smaller than 0.06 µm, and cone length between 3~15 mm and pulls two microelectrodes with symmetrical tips each time.

The pipettes are suitable for patch-clamp and microinjection studies.

 

Overview

Boasting a touch-sensitive color screen and preset programs, the MP-500 micropipette puller makes the fabrication of micropipettes reproducible and easier.

Easy and quick softening point test, safe heat mode, and system diagnostic features ensure an ideal pulling condition for a stable pulling of micropipettes. And the other advanced features of the MP-500 micropipette include a unique slot to fix and replace heating filament easily, an integrated humidity-controlled chamber for easy plug-in or removal.

Applications:

• Patch-clamp experiment;
• Microinjection or microelectrode: Adherent cell, C.Elegans, Drosophila, Zebrafish;
• Pronuclear injection and intracellular recording;
• In vivo microinjection: ES cell, Nuclear transfer, ICSI, Virus, Xenopus;

Features:

• Preheat mode to maintain a constant temperature for a consistent and stable pipette pulling.
• Two microelectrodes with symmetrical tips for each pull.
• Pulls electrodes with tip diameters down to 0.06μm, cone length between 3~15 mm.
• Impedance range from 1 to above 100Ω.
• Preset pull protocols are available: only need input the parameters of the capillary glass tube, heating filament, and kinds of glass microelectrodes to be pulled, then a suitable pull program will be provided and can be modified as needed.
• Store up to 99 pulling programs.
• Safe heat mode to avoid the damage of the filament from high temperature.
• Unique slot for easy fixing and replacing various models of filaments.
• Integrated plug-in humidity control chamber to keep the air around the filament and the capillary glass to be dry, ensuring an ideal pulling condition.
