IMS-4 manual microinjector

The Narishige IMS-4 manual stereotactic microinjector combines injection and suction. By turning the knob, the user activates the plunger of the glass syringe, with a slow, precise movement suitable for intracerebral injections. The system is designed for central mounting of the syringe, guaranteeing safety and legibility of the graduations. The included mounting connector allows customised orientation on an SMM micromanipulator. Ideal for large-volume injections and intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration.

Features of the IMS-4 manual microinjector

  • Injection and aspiration possible via a single knob
  • Slow plunger action for cerebral microinjection
  • Syringe attached at the front, so it can be handled without touching the needle
  • Connection bar for SMM micromanipulator included
  • Adjustable holder orientation via adjustable mounting bracket
