[Xenopus] Query about Microinjector for embryo injections

[Edward Ruthazer]

Hi,
We purchased the MINJ-D microinjector from Tritech Research.  It cost about $3000.
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.

Best,
Ed

Subject: [Xenopus] Query about Microinjector for embryo injections

Hi Folks,

We need to buy microinjectors for Xenopus embryo injections. The PLI-100 from Harvard Apparatus/Warner Instruments is no longer manufactured.

What microinjector do folks use for microinjection these days?

Any help or feedback on this would be really appreciated.

Thank you

Pai
