Working with the CellTram 4r Oil is like taking a breath of fresh air. Our new manual microinjectors have been designed with special emphasis on excellent ergonomics, ease of use and highest precision. They cover a wide range of research applications and suit all personal working techniques. 

Product Information

The CellTram 4r Oil is a manual microinjector suitable for a broad range of life science applications. The CellTram 4r Oil is a hydraulic, oil-filled microinjector that provides more direct sample control and can generate higher pressures than an air system. It is optimized for leakage-free work and easy oil filling. It can be used with all common micromanipulation systems yet they develop their full potential with Eppendorf manipulators. The CellTram 4r Oil injectors are for research use only.

Optimal protection for your cells
Minimizing mechanical trauma to your sample is critical for achieving optimal results. The new capillary holder 4 (slim shape) in combination with Eppendorf manipulators allows for injecting with straight capillaries at angles lower than 15°. This helps to achieve highest survival rates for your developing embryos.

Features

• Non-hydraulic system for oil-free manipulation and injection of cells (CellTram 4r Air)
• Piston position scale enables setting of air volume and injection characteristics according to individual needs (CellTram 4r Air)
• Improved oil-filling system for minimal interruption of the workflow (CellTram 4r Oil)
• Coarse and fine drive for precise and intuitive sample control
• Improved rotary knob design for better handling and easier cleaning
• Capillary holder 4 with markings for easier positioning
• New grip head 4 system for simple capillary change and higher user safety
• Position indicators and marking for in/out to reduce risk of user errors
• Stable, nonslip base plate
• Highly reliable performance with minimal maintenance

Applications

• Mouse ICSI
• Large mammal ICSI (e.g., equine, porcine...)
• Piezo-assisted micromanipulation in combination with the Eppendorf PiezoXpert®
• Transfer of cells or organelles (e.g., ES cell or iPS cell transfer into blastocysts or morulae)
• Enucleation/nuclear transfer
• (Xeno)transplantations
• Removal of cells (e.g., for polar body biopsy, blastomere biopsy or trophectoderm biopsy)
• Manual microinjection and dispensing of aqueous solutions
