Touch-panel-controlled electric microinjector: Ideal for DNA injection
This electric microinjector allows for the precise injection of small liquid volumes. It is ideal for DNA/RNA injection, gene transfer, and other injection applications. The intuitive touch panel makes it easy to adjust the injection pressure, time, and balance. Injections can be performed using either the panel button or a foot switch
Touch panel control at your fingertips!
Application
- Gene delivery（CRISPR/Cas9, DNA/RNA, etc）
- Sample solution injection
- Fluorescent dye injection
- Various other liquids injection, and more
Improved Balance pressure control
The IM-401's balance pressure can be adjusted in 0.1kPa increments from 1 to 100kPa. This improved feature enables stable pressure control with micropipettes, including those with relatively thick tip diameters
High precision pressure control
The injection volume is now more stable due to reduced pressure fluctuations during the return to Balance pressure after injection

Added system switch
A new system switch has been added to the back of the touch panel display control unit for easy adjustment. Simply press the button to start (ON) or stop (SUSPEND) the system
Comfortable operation with footswitch
It features a dedicated foot switch for administering injections. This allows users to operate the manipulators hands-free before injections
Compatible with various pipettes
These optional attachments are sold separately and allow users to replace the cap on the included injection holder with different types of pipettes

External pressure source
* The IM-401 requires an external pressure source to operate
* External pressure sources（gas tanks equipped with a regulator or the compressor）are sold separately
* The tube fitting for the gas input hose is "KQ2H06-02AS" by SMC. When connecting a regulator or compressor, ensure that the connections are made appropriately according to this fitting
