[Xenopus] microinjector

[Davidson, Lance]

We have had good luck with used PLI-100A from Ebay (Warner, Harvard Apparatus, Medical Systems). They remain functional and get frequent use.

We recently got an injector PM1000 from MicroData Instrument (see attached catalog).  It can both fill and inject.  There is only one foot pedal, so you have to toggle between fill and inject constantly.  However, once you get used to it, it works quite well.  It is much cheaper than Warner Instruments device.  The other choice is Narishige.  It is more expensive than MDI injector too.

Hi,
We are needing to replace one of our Warner instruments  PLI-100A microinjectors and apparently these are no longer made (replaced by the AI Roboinjector that can inject up to 4 samples per well in 386 well dishes!!!).  Anyone have any suggestions for a replacement that has both fill and inject capabilities.  We do a lot of blastocoele aspirations so need the fill feature.

Thanks,
Jan
