Motorized Micromanipulator

The flagship in our line of precision micromanipulators, the motorized MP-285 is affordable yet offers advanced features found in manipulators costing thousands more. Custom engineered stepping motors, precision cross-roller bearing slides and proprietary worm gear capstan drives form the basis of the watch-like mechanical system. The controller provides power to the stage motors with a quiet linear power supply to minimize el…

Developed through years of experience with the Flaming/Brown style micropipette pullers and infused with leading edge technology, Sutter is proud to introduce the P-1000 micropipette puller. The most obvious new feature is the color touchscreen display that provides an intuitive and full-featured interface. Key Features: Color touch-screen interface Safe heat mode to protect and extend filament life Line repeat mode sim…

A significant advance in the technology of fabrication of micropipettes, optical fiber probes, and nanospray tips, is offered with the P-2000 micropipette puller. The P-2000 integrates a CO2 laser-based heat source with the technology derived from our extensive experience with conventional pullers. This system offers capabilities unmatched by other pullers. Key Features: Capable of pulling quartz, borosilicate and alumino…

The Model P-97 micropipette puller is the latest generation of the Flaming/Brown type puller for fabrication of micropipettes, patch pipettes and microinjection needles. While retaining many of the features on the Model P-87, the P-97 offers improvements in mechanical, electronic and software design. The result is better control of the pulling process and a higher degree of reproducibility. Features: Environmental chamber…

Elegant and simple to use, the BV-10 offers precision beveling of micropipette tips between 0.1 and 100µm. The unique abrasive plate drive system is vibration free for greater control of the beveling process. Beveling can be accomplished very rapidly and produces consistent tip diameters using the techniques as described by Brown and Flaming, Science, August 1974, Vol. 185. Intracellular recording electrodes can benefit from…

The Lambda TLED is a stand-alone LED light source that can be used with the transmitted light path of a microscope or in other applications with similar requirements. This basic system consists of an LED mounted on a special black-anodized aluminum heat sink and a controller. The Lambda TLED controller has intensity control and on-off control via a switch or TTL logic. The on-off time of the Lambda TLED is The Lambda TLED uses…

QUAD® Sutter Instrument 4-axis motorized micromanipulator, is easy-to use and features four independent axes. Three axes provide the X, Y, Z-orthogonal motion typical of most motorized micromanipulators. In the QUAD, Sutter introduces a true fourth axis to move the electrode coaxially at exactly the desired angle of approach. The fourth axis also significantly extends the range of travel for the system. The QUAD is very…

The new TRIO™-245 from Sutter Instrument is a highly stable 3-axis manipulator with 25mm of travel on each axis. The TRIO's synthetic 4th axis can be set in software as any angle between 0 and 90 degrees for diagonal movement. Based on a lead-screw design with a smaller overall size and footprint than most manipulators, the TRIO-245 is ideal for applications that require 2 pipettes in one setup or for setups where space is lim…
