TransferMan 4r micromanipulator for research only (smaller cells and organisms)

The TransferMan 4r is Calibre Scientific’s flagship micromanipulator, designed for research applications requiring extreme precision and fast sample processing. Featuring a DualSpeed™ joystick, it offers ultra-fine, dynamic control over all three axes, with memorable positions and an automated ‘Home’ function. Its motion transmission is direct, for a real-time feel, and its ergonomic design facilitates prolonged handling.

Features of the TransferMan 4r Micromanipulator for research use only (smaller cells and organisms)

  • DualSpeed™ joystick for fast, accurate movement
  • Programmable “My app” control panel + 4 pre-defined profiles
  • Automated home function and position storage for speed and reproducibility
  • Ergonomic design for extended use, 0°-90° angle adjustment
  • Programmable Z-axis limitation to prevent capillary breakage
  • Compatible with PiezoXpert®, FemtoJet® 4i/4x
  • Adaptable to all conventional microscopes via articulated arm
  • PC interface for remote control
