PRODUCT INFORMATION

The CellTram 4r Air and CellTram 4r Oil are manual microinjectors suitable for a broad range of life science applications. The CellTram 4r Air is a pneumatic injector for oil-free micromanipulation and gentle holding of cells in suspension. Due to its excellent performance, it is also highly suitable for uptake and injection of cells (e.g., of sperm or ES cells). For this application, its performance is comparable to that of oil-filled injectors. The CellTram 4r Oil is a hydraulic, oil-filled microinjector that provides more direct sample control and can generate higher pressures than an air system. It is optimized for leakage-free work and easy oil filling. Both models can be used with all common micromanipulation systems yet they develop their full potential with Calibre Scientific manipulators. The CellTram 4r Air/Oil injectors are for research use only.

APPLICATIONS
  • CSI of mouse and large mammals (e.g., equine, porcine...)
  • Holding of sensitive oocytes, embryos or small organisms
  • Piezo-assisted micromanipulation in combination with the Calibre Scientific PiezoXpert®
  • Transfer of cells or organelles (e.g., ES cell or iPS cell transfer into blastocysts or morulae)
  • Enucleation/nuclear transfer
  • (Xeno)transplantations
  • Removal of cells (e.g., for polar body biopsy, blastomere biopsy or trophectoderm biopsy)
  • Manual microinjection and dispensing of aqueous solutions
  • Single cell picking
FEATURES
  • Non-hydraulic system for oil-free manipulation and injection of cells
  • Piston position scale enables setting of air volume and injection characteristics according to individual needs
  • Coarse and fine drive for precise and intuitive sample control
  • Improved rotary knob design for better handling and easier cleaning
  • Capillary holder 4 with markings for easier positioning
  • New grip head 4 system for simple capillary change and higher user safety
  • Position indicators and marking for in/out to reduce risk of user errors
  • Stable, nonslip base plate
  • Highly reliable performance
  • Oil-free system with optimized resolution for holding larger cells in suspension and injection of cells (e.g., sperm)
  • Simple setting of operating point via pressure compensation
  • Extremely simple operation because no oil filling is required
  • Two rotary knobs of different transmission ratio (1:1 and 1:10) for the highest standards in terms of resolution, sensitivity and response behaviour
  • Compatible with most commonly used micromanipulators

PRODUCT INFORMATION

The CellTram 4m Air and CellTram 4m Oil are manual microinjectors specially designed for various ART-applications. The CellTram 4m Air is a pneumatic injector for oil-free micromanipulation and gentle holding of oocytes and embryos. Due to its pressure performance, it is also highly suitable for uptake and injection of cells (e.g., sperm). For this application, its performance is comparable to that of oil-filled injectors. The CellTram 4m Oil is a hydraulic, oil-filled microinjector optimized for precise control of high pressures, e.g. for biopsies, leakage-free work and easy oil filling.

APPLICATIONS
  • Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)
  • Gentle holding of cells or embryos (e.g., oocytes or blastocysts)
  • Uptake and microinjection of small cells (e.g., sperm)
  • Transfer of suspension cells or organelles
  • Removal of cells (e.g., for embryo biopsies)
FEATURES
  • Non-hydraulic system for oil-free manipulation but also injection of cells (CellTram 4m Air)
  • Piston position scale enables setting of air volume and injection characteristics according to individual needs (CellTram 4m Air)
  • Improved oil-filling system for minimal interruption of the workflow (CellTram 4m Oil)
  • Coarse and fine drive for precise and intuitive sample control
  • Improved rotary knob design for better handling and easier cleaning
  • Capillary holder 4 with markings for easier positioning and defined capillary position
  • New grip head 4 system for simple capillary change and higher user safety
  • Position indicators and marking for in/out to reduce risk of user errors
  • Heavy, stable, nonslip base plate
  • Highly reliable performance with minimal maintenance
