• Transgenic Animal Development
• Injection of Mouse, Xenopus, Zebrafish and other oocytes
• Intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection
• Cell injection
• Extracellular brain injections
• Injection of DNA, mRNA, microbeads and proteins

The MicroJect 1000A MAX (MJ 1000A) is the newest addition to the family of BTX transfection products. The MJ 1000A MAX offers an alternative method to deliver genes, proteins, macromolecules and micro-beads by direct injection into cells, tissues and oocytes simply and efficiently. This microinjection system provides a reliable, consistent and precise delivery of volumes through digitally-controlled, stable pressure regulation which is maintained for a set duration of time. The compressed gas, internally-controlled pressure system also allows the precise delivery of desired volumes ranging from femtoliters to microliter volumes. The MJ 1000A MAX is capable of holding a cell, oocyte or early stage embryo stationary while simultaneously using a separate pressure channel for injections. The system is versatile enough to provide the same consistent performance needed to inject large volumes into tissue such as capillaries, or pico volumes, for nuclear injections. It is also ideal for the gentle transfer of delicate fetal or stem cells into oocytes.

PRESSURE CONTROL FEATURES

Fill/Clear/Hold
The MJ 1000A MAX provides key pressure features designed to maximize your injection potential with two negative and three positive pneumatic capabilities. The negative pressure feature, or vacuum function, allows researchers the ability to fill the micropipettes from their tips. The “Fill” feature reduces waste of valuable injection material. The “Hold” feature provides the means to immobilize and manipulate a cell or oocyte using a micropipette. The positive pressure feature allows for the precise discharge of fluids by simply using the “Clear” function of the system.

Balance Pressure
It’s all about the balance of pressure with our MJ 1000A MAX system. The unique “Balance” feature provides a secondary balance pressure to maintain positive pressure on the injection pipette. This is important before and after injections to avoid the chance of diluting a sample due to capillary action. It also prevents clogging of the injection needle.

Accessories
The MJ 1000A MAX system provides the “MAX”imum potential for your microinjection applications. The durability and precision of the MJ 1000A is coupled with two footswitches for easy operation of the Clear/Fill features. The system also includes two pipette holders and the appropriate adaptors.
