Hi,</div>
<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: Arial, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
We purchased the MINJ-D microinjector from Tritech Research. It cost about $3000.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: Arial, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
While it is not as nice as the PLI-100, it is compact and importantly has the ability to apply negative pressure for frontloading of pipettes. I think it is made by a research lab spinoff company. There are some small annoyances in the design, but overall
it does everything we need.</div>

<b>Subject: </b>[Xenopus] Query about Microinjector for embryo injections<br>

</div>

<div class="ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message skipProofing" style="direction: ltr;">
Hi Folks,</div>
<div class="ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message skipProofing" style="direction: ltr;">
<br>
</div>
<div class="ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message skipProofing" style="direction: ltr;">
We need to buy microinjectors for Xenopus embryo injections. The PLI-100 from Harvard Apparatus/Warner Instruments is no longer manufactured. </div>
<div class="ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message skipProofing" style="direction: ltr;">
<br>
</div>
<div class="ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message skipProofing" style="direction: ltr;">
What microinjector do folks use for microinjection these days?</div>
<div class="ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message skipProofing" style="direction: ltr;">
<br>
</div>
<div class="ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message skipProofing" style="direction: ltr;">
Any help or feedback on this would be really appreciated. </div>
<div class="ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message skipProofing" style="direction: ltr;">

</div>
<div class="ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message skipProofing" style="direction: ltr;">
Thank you</div>
