The PLI-100A picoinjector reliably delivers injections from femtoliters to nanoliters through micropipettes by applying a regulated pressure for a digitally set period of time.
Whether you need to do large injections into capillaries or very small injections into mammalian nuclei, the PLI-100A is up to the task.
Pressure to the pipette is controlled precisely through a multi-turn regulator and is reported digitally for reproducibility. Injection time is set using an optically encoded circuit that permits both fine and coarse settings from a single control knob. System timing can be controlled in three ways: push button, foot switch, or external trigger.
The PLI-100A features three positive and two negative pressures.
The three positive functions allow the user to:The PLI-100A's Balance, Hold, and Clear functions are features not found on other microinjection units.
BNC type connectors are available at the front panel to ease integrating the PLI with other equipment. Synchronization with or control from injections with a data acquisition system is possible.
The PLI-100A is available in three packages: Basic, Plus, and Deluxe:
