SUTTER INSTRUMENT filaments

SUTTER INSTRUMENT filaments are designed to meet a wide variety of micropipette manufacturing applications. The choice of filament depends on the type of glass used, the desired geometry of the pipette cone and the final application (patch-clamp, injection, slicing, etc.). Sutter offers box, trough, loop and custom alloy filaments compatible with SUTTER INSTRUMENT micropipette stretchers.

Characteristics of SUTTER INSTRUMENT filaments

  • Wide choice of geometries: box, trough, loop, nichrome filament, made-to-measure
  • Compatible with borosilicate glass, double channel, aluminosilicate, etc.
  • Box filaments suitable for patches, injections and acute electrodes
  • Trough filaments recommended for long progressive cone pipettes
  • Options for ICSI, IVF, pronuclear injection
  • Specific models for shooters

Applications

  • Manufacture of micropipettes for patch-clamp and microinjection
  • Pipettes for pronuclear injection or ICSI
  • Sharp or very low noise electrodes
  • Micropipettes with long tip or short cone depending on the geometry chosen
