The XenoWorks™ Micromanipulator uses
a classic inverted joystick design for excellent ergonomics, intuitively
linking the user with the micropipette. Combined with our smooth, responsive
stepper-motor drives, the XenoWorks™ micro-manipulator replicates
the feel and usability of traditional systems, without the associated
inconveniences.
The Xeno Works™ Digital Microinjector was designed
for precision manipulation of cells via an easy-to-use interface. The
Digital Microinjector employs a self-contained vacuum channel for gentle
suspension-cell holding applications. A second channel is available for
both high-pressure injection and gentle positive/negative pressure for
transfer of embryonic stem cells. Both injection duration and pressure
are easily selectable using rotary knobs on the remote. The internal low-speed
compressor removes the need for an external pressure supply.
The XenoWorks™ family also includes the Analog Microinjector
for simple cell holding and transfer applications, which incorporates
the same smooth response and ergonomic design of our other XenoWorks™
products.
The configuration of any microinjection system will depend
upon the application for which it is used. Some common applications and
system configurations are:
- Zygote pronuclear DNA microinjection
- Embryonic stem cell transfer into blastocyst
- Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
- Piezo-assisted ICSI
- Microinjection of cultured, adherent cells
- Somatic cell nuclear transfer
