Microinjection Unit

Model 5000 Microinjection Unit

Model 5000 Microinjection Unit provides a simple and reliable method of standardizing the use of µL syringes for accurate, repeatable delivery of minute amounts of fluid. It consists of an inter-changeable syringe holder plunger drive mechanism, delivery control knob and adjustable foot support to stabilize the needle tip.

The syringe holder firmly holds the syringe in position while the plunger remains stationary until it is moved by the control knob. The finely calibrated control knob permits smooth, precise dispensing of increments smaller than .001 µL of fluid. The quick-release syringe holder allows syringes to be refilled and repositioned rapidly and accurately.
