Sutter Instrument XenoWorks™ System

Sutter Instrument XenoWorks™, a modular system designed to meet a wide variety of microinjection application needs. Our experience with precision motor control has culminated in this state of the art system.

The Sutter Instrument XenoWorks™ Micromanipulator uses a classic inverted joystick design for excellent ergonomics, intuitively linking the user with the micropipette. Combined with our smooth, responsive stepper-motor drives, the Sutter Instrument XenoWorks™ micro-manipulator replicates the feel and usability of traditional systems, without the associated inconveniences.

Sutter Instrument XenoWorks™ Micromanipulator

The Sutter Instrument XenoWorks Micromanipulator has been designed around our hugely-successful Sutter Instrument MP-285 electrophysiology micromanipulator, with the addition of a smooth-moving adjustable inverted joystick. Because the motor drive is based on an electrophysiology design, the Sutter Instrument XenoWorks Micromanipulator is extremely stable and resistant to ambient vibration. This stability also makes this manipulator an ideal platform for use in conjunction with the PrimeTech PMM-150FU piezo impact drive for applications such as mouse nuclear transfer and intracytoplasmic sperm injection.

Sutter Instrument XenoWorks™ Digital Microinjector

Designed primarily for transgenic mammal workstations, the Sutter Instrument XenoWorks Digital Microinjector is capable of holding oocytes and early embryos immobile while simultaneously providing a separate pressure channel for pronuclear microinjection of DNA or the gentle control of embryonic stem cells as they are transferred into blastocysts.

Sutter Instrument XenoWorks™ Analog Microinjector

Sutter Instrument XenoWorks™ Analog Microinjector has been designed with ease of troubleshooting in mind. While fluid-filled hydraulic microinjectors are the most responsive method of manipulating cells and cellular components, over time they can develop leaks and air bubbles which need to be sealed or purged.

Sutter Instrument PrimeTech PMM-150FU (Piezo Impact Micromanipulator)

Sutter Instrument offers the PrimeTech PMM-150FU piezo impact drive for challenging microinjection applications such as mouse nuclear transfer, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and blastocyst injection. Oocyte plasma membranes, particularly those of the mouse, are particularly sensitive to microinjection, which tends to result in oocyte death. Initially designed for porcine oocyte injection, the PrimeTech PMM was adapted for use in mouse in 1995 (Kimura and Yanagimachi, 1995), and since then has become the gold standard for mouse nuclear transfer and ICSI.

Sutter Instrument Manual Microinjector

The Sutter Instrument Manual Injector is a manual syringe driver for pneumatic or hydraulic control of injection needles or holding pipettes. It is suitable for injecting volumes in the nanoliter to microliter range. The Sutter Instrument Manual Injector is also widely used as a fluid control device for IVF applications requiring sensitive manual control of the displacement of microneedle contents. The Sutter Instrument Manual Injector system is constructed from the highest quality parts.
