The PM-4 and PM-8 programmable 4 and 8-Channel Pressure Injector systems are designed for one to eight channel intracellular injection and extracellular perfusion. These microinjection and perfusion engines are especially designed for pharmacological drug testing, molecular biological DNA, RNA transferring, intracytoplasmic sperm injection and cell electrophysiological applications.
Combining an advanced micro-controller with precision pneumatic components, these systems can simultaneously control up to eight injection micropipettes or eight perfusion vials and one cell holding pipette and one drain pipette. The four (PM-4) or eight (PM-8) injection/perfusion output ports can be controlled separately or combined together to perform actions such as injection, capillary action balancing, suction or clear up.
The cell holding output port can produce an adjusted gentle suction to hold a cell, eject a pressure to push a cell, or completely clear the holding pipette. Another drain output port can simultaneously produce an adjusted suction to drain and clear out liquid before the next channel micro-perfusion. The PM-4/8 can deliver different quantity agents and drugs from picoliters to continuous perfusion.
