CellTram 4r Oil Calibre Scientific Oil microinjector

The CellTram 4r Oil is a manual hydraulic microinjector designed for research applications requiring precise sample control and high pressure.

Featuring an optimised oil system for easy, leak-free filling, it is compatible with all standard manipulators and offers advanced ergonomics for prolonged use.

Features of theCellTram 4r oil injector

  • Oil hydraulic system: improved responsiveness and high maximum pressure (> 20 bar)
  • Optimised oil filling to avoid flow interruptions
  • Dual coarse/fine controls for precise sample control
  • Improved rotary knobs for better handling and easier cleaning
  • Capillary holder 4 with markings for easy positioning
  • Grip head 4 for easy and safe capillary change
  • IN/OUT position indicators reduce user error
  • Non-slip, stable base for minimal maintenance
