TransferMan 4m IVF micromanipulator (medical application)
The TransferMan 4m is a high-end electronic micromanipulator designed for in vitro fertilisation (IVF) laboratories. It combines ultra-fine control and dynamic speed thanks to a DualSpeed™ joystick, while reducing mechanical stress on samples. Its intuitive interface and compatibility with conventional microscopes facilitate complex manipulations such as ICSI, biopsies for PGT and microinjections.
Features of the TransferMan 4m VIF micromanipulator (medical application)
- DualSpeed™ joystick: precision slow movement and fast movement to cover long distances
- Y-off function: optimised movement in the X axis for precise and less traumatic injections
- Programmed Z-axis limitation: prevents capillary breakage
- Memorisation of working positions in and out of the drop, to save time
- Direct transmission with no latency, for a “real-time” experience
- PhysioCare ergonomic design to reduce fatigue and tension
- Pivoting arm for easy pipette changes
- Can be adapted to all standard microscopes
