MF-3 Microforge NARISHIGE

The NARISHIGE Microforge MF-3 is a piece of equipment dedicated to the microfabrication and customisation of micropipette tips while allowing direct observation under a microscope.

It offers a bright, high-resolution field of view, an improvement on previous generations, and facilitates cutting, bending, polishing and spike creation operations.

Compact and robust, it allows precise positioning of the pipette in the field of view, reducing the risk of breakage.

Critical heating settings are displayed on a digital screen and activated by foot pedal.

Adjustable LED lighting ensures optimum comfort during prolonged use.
