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
