uMp-3 SENSAPEX 3-axis piezo-electric micromanipulator
The uMp-3 piezoelectric micromanipulator from SENSAPEX is based on patented ZeroDrift technology, offering unrivalled stability and positioning accuracy for demanding cellular research applications.
Its compact design allows easy installation and operation, even for users with no previous micromanipulation experience. A wide range of standard accessories ensures compatibility with all common applications.
uMp micromanipulators are operated using the uMp-TSC2 touch controller and the uMp-RW3 rotary control.
There is no practical limit to the number of micromanipulators that can be connected in a single system.
For IT integration, an open source software development kit is available, enabling control via the Ethernet interface.
