A significant advance in the technology of micropipette fabrication is offered with the P-2000 micropipette puller.  The P-2000 integrates a CO₂ laser-based heat source with the technology derived from our extensive experience with conventional pullers.  This system offers capabilities unmatched by other pullers.

While the P-2000 is suitable for working with most conventional glasses, its primary advantage is the ability to work with quartz (fused silica) glass.  Quartz offers superior material properties for a variety of research applications.  Quartz is stronger than other glasses and can facilitate penetration through tough tissues which would normally break conventional pipettes . For applications requiring a low noise glass, users will find that quartz is the lowest noise glass available^2,4.  Quartz contains none of the metals used in conventional glasses³.  Optically, quartz is virtually free from flourescence when illuminated.
