Micromanipulator

The analysis of ion channels in membranes, and the ability to inject genes into cells, all require a steady grip that no human hand can supply. Micromanipulators allow the scientist or clinician to accomplish microinjection, patch clamp experiments, extracellular and intra-cellular recordings or precision robotics by carefully controlling microelectrode and syringe movement and capillary flow. Micro-step motors ensure precise movements in three – or even four – dimensions, with resolutions as high as 0.0625 um/step. Stop locks and extra springs ensure minimal drift along the four axes. Some micromanipulator platforms provide central control over four simultaneous manipulators. Though mostly geared toward biochemical applications, a micromanipulator also has uses in micro-electronics and material science. These models tend to have higher thermal and mechanical stability.
