MICRO-ePORE™ Pinpoint Cell Penetrator
Pinpoint Cell Penetrator for targeted cell microinjection and increased embryo viability
World Precision Instruments (WPI) MICRO-ePORE™ Pinpoint Cell Penetrator is a simple and versatile system that can be used for efficient cell microinjection of a diverse array of compounds and biomolecules into oocytes and pre-implantation stage mammalian embryos. Our patent-pending Flutter Electrode Technology assists in small, clean, precise membrane penetration without tearing or damaging the membrane when you are working on the microinjection of transgenic animals or cell manipulation.
The new MICRO-ePORE™ Pinpoint Cell Penetrator offers a unique solution for microinjection resulting in high viability. The instrument creates an oscillating electric field at a localized site on the membrane immediately beneath the site of injection. The MICROePORE™ creates small, reversible holes in the plasma membrane through which material is microinjected.

ELECTRODE HOLDER OPTIONS
The MICRO-ePORE system includes silver wire electrode holders, and platinum wire electrode holders are an optional accessory. Platinum wire electrode holders are important when you are working with proteins. The silver chloride wire is perfect for work with RNA. However, the silver chloride wire tends to denature proteins, reducing the efficiency of the microinjection solution. We are introducing a NEW platinum wire electrode holder to use with the MICRO-ePORE for your protein microinjection.MORE INFORMATION
