R-480 Nanoliter Injection Pump

Quantitative micro-injection or aspiration at a fixed rate, from 0.6 nl up to 5,000 nl, for oocytes, larvae, protozoa, rodent brain or eye. Mounts on a stereotaxic instrument or micromanipulator.

RWD R-480 nanoliter injection pump control unit with touch screen

Features

  • High injection precision and stable operation over long runs; sealed to prevent leakage
  • Wide range: 0.6 nl minimum, 5,000 nl maximum injection volume
  • Resumes an unfinished program after a power cut, so an interruption doesn't cost the experiment
  • Needle retention time setting at the end of an intracranial injection, no separate timer needed
  • 5.0" capacitive touch screen with adjustable brightness, on a 15° bevel for easy reading
  • Guarded buttons against accidental touches
  • Soft, keyed cables: no torque on the injector when mounted on a positioner, and no mis-mating
