The most affordable micro injecting instrument available, but takes practice.
Microinjection of organoids
GeneSearch produces microinjectors called Embryo Cradles and holders that are very useful for organoid injections. The injectors are a little difficult to get used to, but once you develop your technique they are very affordable and flexible to set up compared to other options out there.

Using our patented suck-and-puncture method, this is the only embryo tool that can:
- Perform sophisticated procedures with little or no infrastructure, reducing costs significantly
- Penetrate and perform procedures with no compression of the embryo
- Perform procedures with no additional setup or sanitization required
- Easily penetrate and biopsy embryos at all stages up to implantation
- Combine holding and injection pipettes into one easy-to-use tool
- Manipulate later-stage zona-thinned or zona-free embryos
The Tips
Coaxial nested tips provide an adjustable cradle for gentle support of the embryo. After years of experimenting with materials and design, the tips are now small enough for work with early mouse embryos, the smallest of all research embryos.
The Biopsy Probe
Probe diameters can vary from 12µm to more than 20µm, with biopsy ports varying in diameter from 5µm to more than 10µm. The biopsy port is a clean, sharp-edged, laser-drilled hole through the near wall of the probe, located near the tip. Our patented probe can be moved by hand or with an integrated air-drive pipette controller.
