Description
MicroDissector, mechanical MicroDissector with ultrasonic piezo stepper and electronic-controlled aspirating pipette, complete with accessories and foot control and pedal controls
With the help of a novel ultrasonic Piezo stepper, an extremely fine metal tip (MicroChisel) is set in motion at a high frequency and low amplitude. All common biological preparations—even cartilage and bone tissue—can thereby be quickly and precisely cut.
The isolated material can then be directly transferred into any microcentrifuge tube or into the well of a microplate. All common downstream applications (e.g., RT-PCR or quantitative mRNA expression analyses) can be carried out following the PPMD, and due to the very high vitality of the isolated cells, even further cultivation is possible.
The isolation of cells, cell particles or cell groups is carried out according to individual specifications:
- For larger cell quantities, we recommend the integrated pipette and Eppendorf® Filtertips (MDS)
- For smaller cell groups/single cells, we recommend the Eppendorf CellTram® vario and TransferTips® (MDS) glass capillaries with an inner diameter of 20 µm.
