Eppendorf InjectMan NI 2 - Manual (Page 6)

59
The InjectMan NI 2 enables an electronically controlled axial injection movement. It is designed
for controlled, gentle, semi-automatic microinjection in (adherent) cells and small organisms. By
coupling with an external pressure source/external pressure sensor (e.g., FemtoJet (express) or
Transjector 5246), the injection movement and injection pressure are monitored, and simulta-
neously activated at the push of a button. Microelectronics and software control the cell-pre-
serving execution of the microinjection process. The cell wall is minimally perforated, thus
avoiding cell lysis (via the potential introduction of excess volumes of liquid). In the optimal sce-
nario, inspecting the work area and injection limits reduces damage to the capillaries.
The InjectMan NI 2 is only intended for use in research labs. It may only be operated by qualified
lab personnel.
It is essential to observe the following safety precautions!
• The device must be commissioned and subsequently used in compliance with the instruc-
tions set out in this Manual, in order to protect the user and prevent damage to the device!
•
The device may only be used for the purpose for which it is intended!
• The device is to be used solely for micromanipulation in accordance with the appropriate
legislative requirements!
• Do not operate the device if there is visible damage to the device itself and/or to its
packaging.
• Before starting up the device, please compare your power supply with the voltage
requirements on the identification plate!
• Take care when transporting the control board!
Do
not
transport the device by carry the joystick!
• When installing and dismantling, make sure the weight of the motor module (1.4 kg) can be
safely carried! Otherwise injury may be caused, or the device may be damaged!
• A weight of max. 100 g may be applied to the motor module.
• The motor modules must not be moved against a mechanical obstacle, as this may damage
the drive units.
• Before transporting the micromanipulator, dismantle the module unit and, if possible,
transport it in its original box. The delivered transport guards are to be mounted according
to the red supplement sheet.
• Important!
The mains plug must not be plugged into the socket outlet until all connections
between the control console, power supply unit and motor module have been
made.
• Caution – risk of trapping/crushing!
Do not reach into areas of the motor modules in which your hand may become
trapped (the gap between the guide and the module or between the module
and any obstacles), and do not insert any other objects into such gaps!
• Caution when mounting tools!
Mounting must not be performed with pressure. Glass capillaries can be
damaged during mounting if they are not handled carefully. Wear eye
protection to prevent the risk of injury from glass splinters!
