XenoWorksTM is a modular microinjection system designed to meet a wide variety of
application needs.
SUTTER´s experience with precision motor
control has culminated in this state-of-the-art
system. The
XenoWorksTM Micromanipulator uses a classic inverted joystick design for
excellent ergonomics, intuitively linking the user
with the micropipette.
Combined with our smooth, responsive
stepper-motor drives, the XenoWorksTM
Manipulator provides exceptional mechanical stability,
sensitivity, and range of movement.
The XenoWorksTM Digital Microinjector
was designed for precision manipulation of cells via an easy-to-use
interface. The Digital Microinjector employs a
self-contained vacuum channel for gentle
suspension-cell holding applications. A second channel is available for both high-pressure
injection and gentle positive/negative pressure for
transfer of embryonic stem cells. Both injection
duration and pressure are easily selectable using
rotary knobs on the remote interface.
The internal low-speed compressor removes the
need for an external pressure supply. The XenoWorksTM
family also includes the Analog Microinjector
for simple cell holding and transfer applications,
which incorporates the same smooth response and
ergonomic design of our other XenoWorksTM products.
