PE- 22

Micropipette Puller 

Narishige

 

Having inherited the genetic characteristics of the PE-2/PE-21, the PE-22 has made further progress.

 


Even longer and thinner microelectrodes that cannot be produced from glass capillaries (1/1.2/1.5mm) can be produced with the PE-22. Multibarreled electrodes are also producible.

In nerve center experiments where microelectrodes are inserted deep into the brain, parallelism is essential to a long tapered tip. To achieve parallelism required, the adjustable range of the microswitch has been increased. As compared to conventional models, the PE-22 is capable of producing microelectrodes of more different shapes. The microswitch is now calibrated and thus easy to adjust, which contributes to improved reproducibility.

To enhance the safety, a metal cover is attached to the heater unit and the shaft. Through the use of a fall under its own weight and magnets, glass capillaries are pulled vertically. The device that holds a glass capillary employs a drill chuck system that accepts ø2 - 6mm glass capillaries. Moreover, using a bundle of ø1mm glass capillaries, multibarreled microelectrodes can be produced. Magnet and heater level adjustments are performed easily through the digital display and thus reproducibility has improved.
 

* In the event of using glass capillaries of ø4mm or larger, there is a limit to the wall thickness and length of a glass capillary. Please contact SPT for details.
