The vertically moving injector mount (z-axis), holding the injection device, is designed
specifically for the demand of high stability, speed and precision. It moves at a resolution
of 20 μm; position and speed are software controlled.
The injection device is composed of a linear motor driving a steel plunger which fits precisely
in the provided injection capillaries. The oil gap between the inner glass wall and the plunger
surface serves for a perfect leak tightness and makes additional gaskets dispensable.
Prepulled borosilicate glass micropipettes are provided by Multi Channel Systems MCS GmbH,
but custom injection needles may also be used. Mounting of injection capillaries is extremely fast
and simple by using luer fittings. There are no additional gaskets susceptible to leakage rendering
the injection device durable and maintenance free.
