MICROPIPETTE FABRICATIONGlass micropipettes are preciselyconstructed microtools forming the basisof a myriad of scientific investigativetechniques. Yet, the simplicity of a pieceof glass tubing belies the complexity ofthe technique that is required to producerepeatedly and accurately the micropipettecharacteristics a researcher desires.<strong>Sutter</strong> <strong>Instrument</strong> has endeavored formore than 30 years to produce the mostsophisticated instruments available forfabricating glass micropipettes. Ourexpertise in micropipette fabricationtechniques has been utilized by countlessnumbers of individuals who have appliedour knowledge to their particular research.The P-1000 is the latest evolution of theFlaming/Brown style puller.

pipette morphology. The pre-installed<strong>Sutter</strong> Pipette Cookbook, glossary and helptopics, make it easy to access the extensivelibrary of pro<strong>gr</strong>ams. Both pullers offer:microprocessor controlled pro<strong>gr</strong>ammability,constant current power supply, a selfcontainedprecision air delivery system,and a patented velocity sensing system.These design elements have lead tosignificant improvements in pipettereproducibility when compared to othermicropipette pullers.The current state-of-the-art in micropipettepuller technology is the P-2000. Itincorporates the mechanical design andpro<strong>gr</strong>ammability of the Flaming/Brownpullers, but uses a CO 2laser as the heatsource. With the addition of the laser, quartztubing can now be pulled in addition to otherlower melting point glass compositions.Quartz pipettes have helped eliminate sometechnical barriers in electrophysiologicalstudies and have enhanced microinjectionprocedures as well as near field scanningmicroscopy (NSOM) and nanospray massspectroscopy.The P-30 is our lowest priced and leastsophisticated puller, based upon an NIHdesign from the 1950s. As a vertical puller,it is intended for basic requisites for apipette pulling device and provides a fewadditional features. It is suitable for basicmicropipette fabrication, sharp electrode,and microinjection work.The BV-10 micropipette beveler was thecompany’s first product and to date remainsthe state-of-the-art in micropipette bevelingtechnology. For precision beveling of pipettetip diameters from fractions of a micron totens of microns, it is the system of choice.PHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM5

The P-2000 inte<strong>gr</strong>ates a CO 2laser-based heat source with the technology derived from our extensiveexperience with conventional pullers. This system offers capabilities unmatched by other pullers.A significant advance in the technology of fabrication of micropipettes, optical fiber probes, andnanospray tips, is offered with the P-2000 micropipette puller.The use of laser heat allows the P-2000 to work with quartz glass (fused silica) as well asconventional glasses. Quartz offers superior material properties for a variety of research applications.Quartz is stronger than other glasses and can facilitate penetration through tough tissues whichwould normally break conventional pipettes 1 . For applications requiring a low noise glass, users willfind that quartz is the lowest noise glass available 2,4 . Quartz contains none of the metals used inconventional glasses 3 . Optically, quartz is virtually free from fluorescence when illuminated.MICROPIPETTE FABRICATIONA CO 2laser was selected as the heat source for the P-2000 for several reasons: 1) The nominalemission wavelength of the laser approximates the resonant frequency of the SiO 2lattice in glass.Thus, quartz and other conventional glasses can be melted when the appropriate laser power issupplied. 2) Laser heat is clean and leaves no metal residue on the pipette as do conventional heatingfilaments. 3) Laser heat can be turned off instantly, leaving no residual filament heat. 4) The user canpro<strong>gr</strong>am the amount and distribution of heat supplied to the glass. 5) No filaments to age or burn out.The P-2000 can store up to 100 separate pro<strong>gr</strong>ams, with each pro<strong>gr</strong>am consisting of up to 8 commandlines. Pro<strong>gr</strong>ammable parameters include: laser power level, scan width, trip velocity, delay/laser ontime, and hard pull strength.One important consideration for the use of the P-2000 is the diameter of the glass used. The opticaldesign produces even heating on glass up to 1.2 mm in outside diameter. Larger diameter glassescan be used with the P-2000/G (up to 1.5 mm quartz and 1.8 mm conventional glasses), but theperformance is best with glass that is 1.2 mm diameter or less.The P-2000/F works well with small diameter glasses such as optical fibers, and with small diameterfused silica capillary commonly used for the manufacture of nanospray tips. Smaller diameter glasswith an outer diameter in the range of 0.125 mm to 0.6 mm, require special puller bars as well as anoptical alignment optimized for the smaller diameter material. These modified components will beinstalled at the time of purchase.As with larger diameter glass, a wide range of tip sizes and taper geometries can be produced withthis modified P-2000/F and small diameter glass. We have drawn optical fiber tips ranging from lessthan 10nm to more than 5µm.

Developed through years of experience with the Flaming-Brown style micropipette pullers,and infused with leading-edge technology, <strong>Sutter</strong> is proud to introduce the P-1000 micropipettepuller. The most obvious new feature is the color touch-screen display that provides an intuitiveand full featured interface.The extensive library of pro<strong>gr</strong>ams found in the popular <strong>Sutter</strong> Pipette Cookbook has beenincorporated into the P-1000 puller and are available to the user. You need only specify the glass,filament, and type of pipette you require, and a suitable pro<strong>gr</strong>am is identified and available forinstallation. This takes the guesswork out of pipette pulling and simplifies pro<strong>gr</strong>amming.Copy and Paste functions assure that pro<strong>gr</strong>ams can be easily written and the line repeat modesimplifies multi-line pro<strong>gr</strong>amming. A safe heat mode is an additional feature that helps the useravoid using heat settings that might damage or burn out the filament. When the safe heat modeis turned on, the puller will “check” the installed heat and alert the user when a given heat valueis too low or too high in relation to the ramp value. User notes can be added to each pro<strong>gr</strong>am forannotating important information.MICROPIPETTE FABRICATIONNew features for the P-1000 include: diagnostic testing of all puller components, built-in errordetection of air pressure loss or filament burnout, easy access to ramp test, measurement ofjaw temperature, and access to previous pull results with the heat-on times for each cycle of thepro<strong>gr</strong>am. Help topics are preloaded to assist with on-site troubleshooting, and the built-in glossaryincludes text, pictures, and dia<strong>gr</strong>ams explaining the terms used in micropipette fabrication. Arotary dial is offered as an alternative to the touch pad for numerical entry.PHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM11

The P-97 Flaming/Brown type micropipette puller is ideal for fabricating micropipettes, patchpipettes and microinjection needles. While retaining many of the features of earlier models,the P-97 offers improvements in mechanical, electronic and software design. The result isbetter control of the pulling process and a higher de<strong>gr</strong>ee of reproducibility. The P-97 combinesa proven mechanical system with a sophisticated, pro<strong>gr</strong>ammable microprocessor controller.This pro<strong>gr</strong>ammable control of the pulling parameters allows the investigator to designapplication specifi c pipettes from a wide range of glass compositions and sizes.A number of other features have been incorporated in the design of the P-97. Most apparent isthe environmental chamber which surrounds the heating filament. This environmental chamberis designed to minimize the effect of changing humidity on the reproducibility of pulled pipettes.A 25% increase in power over the P-87 allows for the use of larger heating filaments, largerdiameter glass and multi-barreled glass. The metal jaws that clamp the heating filament havealso been redesigned to minimize heat retention. There are two modes of cooling: time anddelay. The delay mode provides extended cooling for large diameter and multi-barreled glass.A spring-loaded clamping mechanism has been added for easier loading of glass. A vacuumfluorescent display has been added that allows easy viewing.MICROPIPETTE FABRICATIONSoftware improvements on the P-97 include a display of the total heat-on time on to assist inpro<strong>gr</strong>am development and troubleshooting. Up to 100 pro<strong>gr</strong>ams can now be written and storedin memory, which makes the P-97 suitable for multiple users. These pro<strong>gr</strong>ams can now bewrite-protected, adding security to prevent pro<strong>gr</strong>ams from being changed or alteredinadvertently. The display shows the last date and time the pro<strong>gr</strong>am was written or edited.In addition, the air pressure is a pro<strong>gr</strong>ammable parameter.* Patent No. 4,600,424PHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM15

The model P-30 vertical micropipette puller is designed for the fabrication of basic micropipettesand patch-type pipettes. It will pull micropipettes with tip diameters as small as 0.3µm andmoderate taper lengths (6 to 10mm). By using an included patching attachment, the P-30 will pulla patch-type pipette. But, for those needing very short tapers, high cone angles, and advancedreproducibility, one should consider the P-97. Using thin or standard walled capillaries, the P-30will generate suitable pipettes for microinjection studies. The P-30 is also ideal for studentlaboratories and other situations which call for an economical, reliable pipette pulling device.The P-30 is available with either a platinum/iridium or a Nichrome filament. The Nichromefilament is suitable for many applications and is not prone to damage. The platinum filament ismore effi cient at heating and cooling, and, although it is more prone to damage than the Nichromefilament, the platinum filament is recommended for thick wall and aluminosilicate glass andapplications requiring shorter taper lengths.MICROPIPETTE FABRICATIONPHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM19

FILAMENTS/ACCESSORIESMICROPIPETTE FABRICATIONThere is a minimum purchase of 4 filaments.Appropriate filament selection depends on your research application, but a general guideline forfilaments is as follows:Box Filaments are recommended for large diameter, double barreled, or aluminosilicate glass.Box filaments are particularly suitable for patch pipettes, slice preparations, and microinjection,where long, parallel walls would aid penetration. When using a box filament, the size of the squarebox should be approximately 1.0mm to 1.5mm larger than the outside diameter of the glass thatyou will be using.For IVF and ICSI applications, a 2.5mm x 4.5mm box filament (FB245B) is recommended. Forpronuclear injection work, we recommend a 2.5mm x 2.5mm box filament (FB255B). Call for morespecifi c advice or to request a combination of settings, filaments, and glass for your application.Trough Filaments are excellent general purpose filaments and are recommended for patchpipettes produced from thin wall glass. If very short tapers are required for patch or microinjection,a 2.5mm or 3mm box filament is recommended.<strong>Sutter</strong> pre-pro<strong>gr</strong>ams the P-1000 and P-97 with a 2.5mm x 2.5mm box filament unless an alternative filament isrequested.For either shape of filament (box or trough), increasing the filament width tends to increase thelength of the pipette taper. If there are specifi c questions as to the filament type needed, pleasecall and our technical support staff will guide you in your choice.22 PHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM

Elegant and simple to use, the BV-10 offers precision beveling of micropipette tips between0.1 and 100µm. The unique abrasive plate drive system is vibration free for <strong>gr</strong>eater control of thebeveling process. Beveling can be accomplished very rapidly and produces consistent tip diametersusing the techniques as described by Brown and Flaming, Science, August 1974, Vol. 185.Intracellular recording electrodes can benefi t from beveling because of 1) a reduction in the tipdiameter by creation of the sharp point on the electrode and 2) a lowered electrical resistanceof the electrode due to the larger cross sectional area of the lumen. This <strong>gr</strong>eatly facilitatespenetrating and holding very small or diffi cult cells. Microinjection needles also benefi t frombeveling by promoting entry into cells with minimal damage while at the same time enhancing thefl ow of material through the needle.MICROPIPETTE FABRICATIONThe basic beveling system consists of a stationary pedestal, optically fl at to a half wave (250nm),surface mounted on a heavy baseplate. This serves as a bearing for an abrasive coated glass<strong>gr</strong>inding plate, which is also fl at to half a wave. The fl at abrasive plate is coupled to a lowvibration, slow-speed motor by means of magnetic fields to provide a wobble-free fl at <strong>gr</strong>indingsurface. The abrasive plates are fabricated with a proprietary process which insures aconsistent abrasive coating.A 2-axis micromanipulator holds the pipette to be beveled and permits controlled advancementonto the abrasive surface. The bevel angle and speed of advancement are adjustable. A halogenlamp with a gooseneck enhances the beveling operation by providing sharp illumination of theabrasive plate and pipette.The basic system comes with two abrasive plates of your choice, a wick with holder (for wetbeveling), pedestal oil, de<strong>gr</strong>easing fluid, and manual.Two options are available for monitoring the beveling process: an 80X stereo microscope, and anelectrode impedance meter. Depending on your research application, one or both of these optionsmay be desirable. For all micropipette applications, the swing mounted microscope enhances yourcontrol of pipette advancement onto the abrasive plate and allows for viewing of the bevelingoperation (scope resolution is not suffi cient for viewing the actual bevel except in the case ofvery large tips). For microelectrode applications, the impedance meter is used to monitor the tipresistance during the beveling operation. The meter is an analog design, offering three resistanceranges (0-10, 0-100, 0-500 MOhm). Measurements are made at 12 Hz to minimize capacitivecontributions to the impedance measured and provide a near-true DC resistance value. A rapidroll-off is used to reduce 50/60 Hz interference, allowing operation in a laboratory environmentwithout screening.PHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM25

MANUAL MICROINJECTORMICROPIPETTE FABRICATIONThe Manual Injector is a manual syringe driver for pneumatic or hydraulic control of injectionneedles or holding pipettes. It is suitable for injecting volumes in the nanoliter to microliter range.It is also widely used as a fluid control device for applications requiring sensitive manual controlof the displacement of microneedle contents. The system is constructed from the highest qualityparts. The base assembly is black anodized aluminum. A non-rotating Mitutoyo micrometerprovides the drive to the gas-tight syringe 1 . A precision 3-way valve provides a convenient methodfor filling the fluid line and clearing air bubbles from the line. Tefl on tubing, chromato<strong>gr</strong>aphyconnectors and a pipette holder 2 complete the system. The injection resolution is dependent onthe volume of the syringe that is installed, as outlined in the table below. For example, with a 25µlsyringe installed, one complete rotation of the micrometer (25 divisions) yields a displacementequivalent to a volume of 267nl and turning the micrometer one division (0.001in) yields 10.6nl.SYRINGE VOLUME VOLUME PER REVOLUTION VOLUME PER DIVISION10µl 106nl 4.2nl25µl 267nl 10.6nl50µl 529nl 21.2nl100µl 1.06µl 42.3nl250µl 2.65µl 105.8nl500µl 5.29µl 211.7nl1000µl 10.58µl 423.4nl1Please specify the syringe volume that you will be using.

MICROPIPETTE FABRICATIONMICROPIPETTE TECHNIQUESADVANCED MICROPIPETTE TECHNIQUESFOR CELL PHYSIOLOGYKENNETH T. BROWNUniversity of California atSan FranciscoDALE FLAMING<strong>Sutter</strong> <strong>Instrument</strong> Company,Novato, CA.Fine glass micropipettes are extensively used in intra- and extracellular physiology as a meansof recording electrical activity in cells and as channels for injecting a variety of substances forexperimental purposes. In 1973, the authors began a course of systematic studies designed tohelp them improve the capabilities and effi ciency of intracellular research using the micropipettetechnique. Here, they present for the first time their theory of how micropipette tips are formed,their methods of reducing tip size, and the implications of their work for research on small cells ofall kinds, especially cells within the central nervous system. This text not only incorporates thisnew work, but reviews and analyzes existing publications on micropipette methodology, includingpatch-clamping, in order to present as complete an account as possible of how micropipettes canbe used effi ciently and effectively in a wide variety of experimental situations. The informationpresented here should prove helpful to anyone performing research with micropipettes, from a<strong>gr</strong>aduate student conducting a first project to the most experienced investigator.30 PHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM

GLASS CAPILLARY TUBINGMICROPIPETTE FABRICATION<strong>Sutter</strong> <strong>Instrument</strong>, in addition to the finest micropipette pullers available, offers a wide selectionof high quality glasses in various sizes and materials. Though there are many types and sizesof glass available, we have carefully selected only those that pass our criteria. Our expertise inmicropipette technology assures you of precision and high quality.We offer capillary tubing in three different compositions: quartz, borosilicate and aluminosilicate.Each composition has its own unique properties and the selection will be determined by yourapplication and your puller’s capabilities.Filamented glass has a small rod of glass annealed to the inner wall and this rod (filament of glass)creates the capillary action required to back-fill the pipette with solution. If the resulting pipette tipis under 1ul and being used for microinjection or recording, we recommend “filamented-glass.” Thefilament in the glass not only provides capillary action for quick filling of the micropipette, it alsohelps to reduce the incidence of air bubbles when introducing solution into the pipette. If you haveany additional concerns, please contact <strong>Sutter</strong> for technical support.32 PHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM


FIRE POLISHINGAll borosilicate and aluminosilicate capillary glass offered by <strong>Sutter</strong> <strong>Instrument</strong> have fire-polished ends.This process eliminates any sharp edges, making it easier to insert into holders, and does not affectthe electrical or mechanical properties of the glass.CUSTOM PIPETTES<strong>Sutter</strong> <strong>Instrument</strong> can make custom pipettes and microtools not commonly available from other pipettemanufacturers. The custom pipettes are considered non-sterile and are manufactured for researchapplications and non-human use. Please contact <strong>Sutter</strong> <strong>Instrument</strong> for further details.BOROSILICATE (CORNING 7740)The most commonly used glass is borosilicate. <strong>Sutter</strong> <strong>Instrument</strong> offers only TYPE I-CLASS A borosilicateas described by ASTM Standard 3.1.2 1 . This glass softens at 821 de<strong>gr</strong>ees Celsius and, as it is pulled,maintains its ratio of inside diameter to outside diameter over the total taper length. Borosilicatesoftens at a lower temperature than our other glasses and has a wider working range. Theseunique properties allow for a <strong>gr</strong>eater variety of shapes used in microelectrodes, patch pipettes,microinjection needles and, in the case of solid rod, chromosome dissection tools.ALUMINOSILICATE (SCHOTT 8252)Aluminosilicate softens at a higher temperature (935 de<strong>gr</strong>ees Celsius) than borosilicate and is workableover a much narrower range. It has a tendency to continuously thin out as it is drawn which allowsextremely fine tips with very short tapers. For example, we have pulled aluminosilicate tips in the 20-30nanometer range with taper lengths of 5-6mm. Its resistivity is several orders of magnitude higher thanborosilicate, thus reducing leakage currents when used in ion-selective micropipettes. Aluminosilicate isharder than borosilicate which results in a pipette that is more suitable for penetrating tough tissues.QUARTZ (HERAEUS HSQ300)The finest and purest glass available is quartz. It is superior to all other glasses in its mechanical, electricaland optical qualities. It has the lowest dielectric constant, the lowest loss factor and the highest volumeresistivity making it ideal for patch clamp recording. Its chemical purity virtually eliminates leakage ofions 2 and by using quartz in single channel patch clamp recordings the lowest back<strong>gr</strong>ound noise levelshave been achieved 3 . Due to its high melting point, it cannot be pulled on conventional pullers, but canbe easily pulled with the <strong>Sutter</strong> CO 2laser-based P-2000.SIZES<strong>Sutter</strong> <strong>Instrument</strong> capillary tubing is available in a broad range of wall thicknesses which allow you toselect the size necessary for your application. The ratios of inside diameter to outside diameter typicallyrun between 0.5mm and 0.75mm with the lower value being referred to as thick wall tubing and thetop of the range as thin wall tubing. All other factors being equal, the thicker wall capillaries producepipettes with longer tapers and smaller tips which make it more suitable for intracellular microelectrodes.These thicker wall pipettes tend to reduce the noise contributions due to capacitance, which makesthem more suitable for patch clamp pipettes. Thinner wall tubing allows for larger pore openings whichmakes it ideal for microinjection needles and low resistance microelectrodes.MICROPIPETTE FABRICATION1ASTM Designation E438-90 - April 1990.2Zuazaga C., Steinacker A.

MICROMANIPULATIONPrecise movement. Just what you require in amicromanipulator. <strong>Sutter</strong> <strong>Instrument</strong>, the samecompany that refined the movements necessaryto repeatedly pull micropipettes with sub-microntips, has also harnessed the technologiesnecessary to easily move those same tips withsub-micron accuracy.Micromanipulator design at <strong>Sutter</strong> <strong>Instrument</strong>began in 1985 with the MP-85, a refined andextended Huxley-style micromanipulator.Continuing from that time <strong>Sutter</strong> <strong>Instrument</strong>has shown a desire to provide manipulatormechanisms with smooth, ergonometricmicro-movements that are also adaptableto many different experimental designs andplatforms. This design process includes fourmotorized manipulators, the industry standardMP-285, the MP-225, the narrow formatMP-265 and the Xenoworks BRM. All couplethe smooth mechanical micromotion andmicroprocessor-based, stepper-motor drivemechanisms users have come to expect in<strong>Sutter</strong> products. In 2004, we introduced theMPC-200 controller, answering the demandof our customers who asked for a multimanipulatorcontroller.Researchers performing complex experimentsrequiring multiple manipulators are now ableto pair our popular motorized manipulatorswith the MPC-200 controller. This controlleris capable of operating any 2 of our motorizedmanipulators and can be expanded to run 4manipulators off a single ROE-200 input device.This solution is fl exible and allows the user toadd components as their needs dictate.The 3DMS, 3-Dimensional motorized stage,was designed for experiments that require38 PHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM


apid movement of a chamber or culture dishto multiple locations in a compact space. Twoaxes provide X-Y translation and the thirdaxis provides built-in focusing with submicronaccuracy. The 3DMS offers roboticpro<strong>gr</strong>ammability of complex motion sequenceswhen used with the MP-285 controller.As time has shown, much of what makesa device popular is how easily it can beincorporated into an existing set-up. In thecase of micromanipulators, this process hasinvolved designing manipulator platforms thatbolt directly to the frames of the most popularmicroscopes. Alternatively, we also offerrock-steady, free-standing platforms thatsupport our manipulators by clamping to thetable beside the microscope. Our MT-70 andMT-75 stands, originally designed for stablesupport of the fi fteen pound Huxley, are perfectfree-standing platforms for the MP-225 andMP-285. The motorized manipulators are alsosupported by a number of microscope-specifi cstands that bolt directly to the bodies of themost popular Leica, Nikon, Olympus, andZeiss inverted microscopes. These platformslend themselves to the low-drift recordingconfi guration required when using the MP-225and MP-285 for positioning patch-electrodesonto attached cells in culture.A task specifi c platform for manipulators is theMT-1000 translation system. When coupledwith MP-285s or MP-225s, the system formsa slice-patch workstation. The MT-1000 wasborn out of a technique now common in slicerecording that moves the optical pathwaywhile keeping the slice chamber and recordingelectrodes fi xed. The translation system allowsthe user to move to multiple locations on thetissue at high resolution without disturbin<strong>gr</strong>ecording electrodes. The MT-1000 workstationencompasses: an X-Y translator designed tomove a microscope smoothly and accurately;two MT-75 gantry-type stands for positioningmanipulators on one or both sides of themicroscope; and a third gantry stand thatbecomes the fi xed support for the chamber.The newly introduced MT-2000 uses a motorizedX-Y translator. In this design, stepper-motordriven lead screws provide smooth movementof the microscope.Rounding out our line of manipulators are theMM-33 micromanipulator and the MM-1 andMM-3 micropositioners. The MM-33 is aneconomical micromanipulator of suffi cientresolution and control for impaling xenopusoocytes and other medium-fine manipulationtasks. The MM-1 and the MM-3 are suitablefor positioning perfusion tubes, moving apreparation, or for positioning referenceelectrodes in a bath.PHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM39

Neurobiological experiments are becoming more complex. Many require multiple manipulatorswith control units that quickly become space and/or cost prohibitive. The MPC-200 is the solutionyou have been asking for. A single controller capable of running 2 manipulators! <strong>Sutter</strong> <strong>Instrument</strong>has taken the simplicity of the MP-225 controller and expanded it to run two manipulators froma single controller/ROE. The MPC-200 works with our world-renowned mechanicals, the MP-285(MPC-385), MP-225 (MPC-325) or narrow format MP-265 (MPC-365).If two manipulators aren’t enough, a second controller can be daisy chained to allow the singleROE-200 to move up to four manipulators. Thus the system can be easily expanded to controlhighly sophisticated experiments.MICROMANIPULATIONThe <strong>Sutter</strong> MPC-200 is electrically quiet. Unique to the MPC-200 is our multi-unit controller whichemploys linear output circuitry to minimize electrical noise. <strong>Sutter</strong> adds additional manipulatorsto the same controller without requiring potentially noisy chopper drives.Faster automated pipette exchange.The MPC-200 has faster “Home” and “Work Position” moves for quicker pipette exchange.Automation is set up and run via the same interface used in the MP-225 controller; however, thespeeds of the automated movement are much faster.Accelerated manual mode.For users who prefer manual pipette exchange we have added “Accelerated Mode” to the ROE.Using Accelerated Mode, the user can make quick manual moves in and out of a setup. AcceleratedMode amplifies the speed attainable in a manual move by smoothly accelerating to the maximumspeed during sustained, fast turns of the ROE. Accelerated movement ends as soon as the userstops turning the knob. This mode can be fully disabled for those who feel the need for directcontrol of the pipette.To provide the ultimate in fl exibility, the MPC-200 can be purchased separately or as basicsystems such as the MPC-385, MPC-365 and MPC-325. Additional component pieces can beadded at any time, allowing the user to develop a system tailored to his or her particular needs.The controller is self-detecting so there is no need for manual confi guration of the components.PHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM41

The flagship in our line of precision micromanipulators, the motorized MP-285 is affordable yet offersadvanced 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 thewatch-like mechanical system. The controller provides power to the stage motors with a quiet linearpower supply to minimize electrical noise radiation in your setup. Pipette holders and headstages aresecurely mounted to the MP-285 with one of our several unique and rigid mounting systems.The MP-285 was designed to meet a wide variety of positioning needs for the scientific communityand is suitable for patch clamp experiments, extracellular recording, microinjection, intra-cellularrecording and precision robotic positioning applications. An outstanding feature of this system isthe unique definable 4th axis for diagonal advancement of the pipette. You select the angle, thenactivate the 4th axis. As with the other three axes, you may move with adjustable coarse or ultrafineresolution, select the movement speed, and move continuously or in single step increments. To quicklyreposition the pipette, simply select the Home function. Axes positions are continuously shown inrelative and absolute scales, and are easily readable on the vacuum fluorescent display.MICROMANIPULATIONThe extremely low backlash of the MP-285 removes traditional drawbacks of “open loop” technologyand eliminates drift. This allows submicron resolution down to 0.2 microns in the coarse range anddown to 40 nanometers in the fine range. With over 1 inch of motorized travel on all three axes, and auser designated 4th axis, the MP-285 allows tremendous range of motion while maximizing resolution.Available with a table-top or rack mounted controller, our manipulator fi ts in seamlessly with yourother components while the compact design and assignable axes of the MP-285 allows you to easilyinte<strong>gr</strong>ate it into your setup at any orientation. To add to its practicality, your choice of one of twomanual controls: joystick or rotary optical encoder (ROE), assures a comfortable experimentationenvironment, customized to the scientist.For users who require repeatable motion sequences, the MP-285 features easily pro<strong>gr</strong>ammedrobotic control from the keypad, or via a remote computer. The system can store up to 500 positioninstructions, including pauses, and will execute the instruction set once, continuously, or in reverse.As always, our technical support team is available to address your concerns and answer all questionsbefore, and after your purchase.CHOOSE ONE OF TWO INPUT DEVICE OPTIONS1) Rotary Optical Encoder (ROE). Turning one of three 2-inch knobs produces a movement along oneaxis proportional to the amount and speed of the turn. Buttons allow the activation of “4th axis”, changeof movement resolution, “home” return function, and toggle between continuous pulse movements.2) Joystick. Our joystick is a modified three-axis game controller. The de<strong>gr</strong>ee of handle deflectiondetermines the velocity of movement of each axis. In pulse mode, a button commands themanipulator to take a single step in the axis selected by joystick deflection.PHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM47

Our new MP-265/M “narrow format” mechanical is designed for patch-slice manipulator systemsthat require more than 2 or 3 pipettes as well as for other setups where space is limited.The MP-265/M mechanical builds on our existing manipulator line in several ways: First, thenarrow format means more manipulators can be <strong>gr</strong>ouped around a recording chamber. Furthermore,the narrow format MP-265/M allows a high precision manipulator to be inserted into smallspaces in existing setups. Next, a renown <strong>Sutter</strong>, stepper-motor X-axis is coupled to a 150mmsmooth-travel, linear slide to provide both precision as well as easy approach to and from theoptical center. Finally, travel in the Y-axis is shortened (12.5 mm) both to economize on widthand because radially oriented manipulators do not require long travel in the transverse axis.MICROMANIPULATIONThe MP-265/M manipulator was designed specifi cally for systems requiring 4 or moremanipulators. To this end, we have put together systems with special pricing for 4, 5 and 6manipulators, and 2 or 3 dual manipulator controllers. For the first time, pricing includes a new,narrow-format linear slide and narrow stand for mounting the MP-265/M mechanical. With the150mm throw of the linear slide, the manipulator can be quickly and smoothly moved out to alocation where there is easy access to the pipette for replacement. A narrow format version ofour classic MT-70 stand is also included; the stand is removable so that the linear slide separatelycan be used for mounting to large platform stages like the <strong>Sutter</strong> MT-78.Through the power of the popular <strong>Sutter</strong> MPC-200 dual manipulator controller and ROE-200, andone or more MP-265/M mechanicals, one forms MP-365/M systems. A single MPC-200 controllerand ROE-200 can run one or two MP-265/M manipulators. A single ROE-200, when paired withtwo MPC-200 controllers can control up to four MP-265/M manipulators. If you require moremanipulators in a single setup, you simply duplicate the smaller systems. A new firmwareversion of the MPC-200/ROE-200 automatically recognizes the MP-265/M mechanical andadjusts accordingly.PHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM53

The MP-225 is one of the newer products in the <strong>Sutter</strong> <strong>Instrument</strong> micromanipulator line.Production and design changes have allowed us to produce a motorized manipulator that is amore affordable alternative to the industry standard MP-285. While the MP-225 feature set isless comprehensive than the MP-285, it includes the most popular features with a simpler userinterface. The mechanical design utilizes a miniature stepper motor and inte<strong>gr</strong>al anti-backlashgear head. Pre-loaded ball bearing slides provide smooth movement throughout the 25mm oftravel. The controller uses low-noise, linear-drive output circuitry identical to that found in theMP-285. The methodology for mounting pipette holders and headstages used with the MP-285has been maintained in the MP-225 to allow for cross compatibility.MICROMANIPULATIONThe MP-225 is designed primarily for positioning patch and intracellular recording pipettes.We have retained and refined the features most desired for this type of work. An extendedversion of the popular rotary optical encoder (ROE) is the sole input device available with theMP-225. Like the MP-285, the manipulator has a synthetic 4 th axis for diagonal advancement ofthe pipette; 16 different angles are selectable via DIP switches. Speed and resolution of movementare easily selected with a multiple position switch, allowing fast/coarse movement and slow/ultrafinemovement in 10 increments. Two commonly used robotic movements have been incorporatedfor user convenience. A single button press can initiate a move to a Home position for pipetteexchange or to a user defined Work position for quick location of the pipette near the recordinglocation. A display on the ROE gives position location. As all controls are located on the ROE, thecontroller can be moved to a less accessible area of your setup and does not need to occupy primespace in an equipment rack.As always, our technical support team is available to address your particular needs and answerall questions before and after your purchase.PHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM57

The classic micromanipulator developed by Sir Andrew Huxley many years ago is still consideredby many investigators to be the finest manual micromanipulator available. The MP-85 offers theadvantage of a very large range of movement with its built-in coarse manipulator and precisesubmicron movement with the fine controls. Coarse positioning is achieved with a three axismanipulator mounted on top. The ultrafine positioning is accomplished with the large micrometersmounted on the base. These micrometers provide smooth, precise movement through a 10:1reduction mechanism.The brass and stainless steel construction of the MP-85 makes for a very heavy and solidmicromanipulator with excellent damping properties. This exceptionally stable design is ideal forpatch clamp recording, intracellular recording, or any other application that is intolerant of drift.MICROMANIPULATIONThe MP-85 is chrome-plated and anodized to prevent corrosion. The J.R. Wall designed rotatingbase is machined from solid stainless steel with a brass spindle; a thin Tefl on washer provides forthe bearing surface.Please contact <strong>Sutter</strong> <strong>Instrument</strong> for any additional information on the suitability and use of theMP-85 micromanipulator for your specifi c application.PHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM61

Many imaging experiments require the ability to move to multiple locations in a chamber or in atissue culture dish. Large motorized stages accomplish this, but generally make the microscopeinto a single-use, motorized imaging station. The form factor of motorized stages usually precludespositioning other equipment such as manipulators at the same microscope.Now, a simple attachment converts a standard <strong>Sutter</strong> MP-285 manipulator into the 3-DimensionalMotorized Stage. The 3DMS manipulator and stage attachment can be either mounted on anMT-75 gantry stand next to an upright microscope, or on an MD series stand attached to thebody of an inverted microscope. The compact size allows manipulators and other equipment tobe used simultaneously.MICROMANIPULATIONRefocusing is often required at the different X-Y locations when images are automaticallyacquired. Normally this requires a motorized focus drive to be added to the microscope. Becausethe 3DMS is a three-axis manipulator, focusing (vertical movement of the stage) is already built in.Surprisingly, this relatively small package still allows for 25mm of movement in X, Y and Zaxes with sub-micron precision.The stage shown carries a Warner <strong>Instrument</strong>s’ RC style chamber and PM-1 holder (not included).Other chambers can be accommodated.

The MT-2000/MT-2078 is a motorized microscope translator system including multipleplatforms for manipulators and specimen. Two general styles are available. In the classicdesign (MT-2000), an independent stand, the MT-75 is used for each manipulator and a similarstand, the MT-150 holds the tissue chamber. A new style (MT-2078) uses a single large, fi xedstage, the MT-78-FS, to support multiple manipulators and the sample. The classic MT-2000features free-standing columns that provide rock solid mounting for the tissue recordingchamber and multiple micromanipulators. Many prefer this methodology as it maximizesworking room for adjusting the microscope and changing pipettes. Furthermore, the independentstand design minimizes movement-related cross talk between manipulators. The MT-2078single stage has the advantage that it is easy to add additional manipulators and other devicesinto the design as the manipulator/chamber support is one large platform.MICROMANIPULATIONThe core of the MT-2000/MT-2078 system is the MT-800 stepper-motor driven X-Y translationtable. The motors can be driven by two-axis versions of either the popular MP-285 manipulatorcontroller or the dual manipulator controller MPC-200-ROE. A two-axis rotary optical encoder(ROE) accepts user input to the motorized translator and can be placed in any convenient locationin your setup. Either controller gives the user smooth, high-resolution manual control of motion.The MP-285 controller offers extensive on-board robotic functionality and a serial computerinterface for PC control. The MPC-200-ROE controller offers a USB computer interface for PCcontrol. Systems using the MP-285 controller are called MT-2000 or MT-2078 while systemsusing the MPC-200-ROE controller are designated MT-2200 or MT-2278.Our controller design has allowed <strong>Sutter</strong> to easily add a focus drive to the MT-2000/MT-2200/MT-2078/MT-2278 systems. The <strong>Sutter</strong> focus drive employs a direct-coupled stepper motor forlock-step focus movement and adjustable end of travel sensors to limit the travel of the microscopeobjective to a safe range for the setup. In the focus drive version, MT-2000/FD, the ROE inputdevice has inputs for X, Y and Z focus.MT-800 motorized translators are currently available for the Olympus BX-51WI, Nikon FN1,Zeiss Axioskop 2 FS and the Leica DMLFS. Focus drives are available for the Olympus BX51WI.Other microscopes can be supported. The MT-75, MT-150 and MT-78 stands and stages arecompatible with all scopes.PHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM73

The MT-1000/MT-1078 is a microscope translator, fi xed-stage and manipulator platform formoving optical pathway electrophysiology. Two general styles are available. In the classicdesign (MT-1000), an independent stand is used for each manipulator and a similar stand holdsthe tissue chamber. A new style (MT-1078) uses a single large, fi xed stage that is used formultiple manipulators and for the sample as well.MT-1000: the classic modular design features free-standing columns that provide rock solidmounting for the tissue recording chamber (MT-150) and multiple micromanipulators (MT-75).The columns are positioned around a movable table that provides X-Y translation of the opticalpathway in order to view multiple locations within the chamber at high resolution. Many preferthis methodology as it maximizes working room for adjusting the microscope and changingpipettes. Furthermore, the independent stand design minimizes movement-related cross talkbetween manipulators.MICROMANIPULATIONIn the new MT-1078 translator system, the large fi xed stage MT-78-FS is employed. In thisdesign it is easy to add additional manipulators and other devices to expand a setup as themanipulator/chamber support is a single large platform. Furthermore, an available magneticstainless steel insert holds the chamber and allows the easy positioning of magneticallyattached small devices nearby.At the core of both the MT-1000 and MT-1078 translator systems is the MT-500 X-Y translationtable. It is designed to allow movement of a microscope’s optics with respect to the fi xed stage(s).This methodology was developed by electrophysiologists recording from tissue slice preparations.The translator allows visualization and/or imaging of multiple tissue locations while maintainingmultiple stable recordings from the preparation. Such a system is also useful for experimentson cells in culture where one wishes to monitor several cells not in the same field of view, e.g.recording from pre and post synaptic neurons in culture and/or imaging one cell while recordingfrom or stimulating another.Translators are available for the Olympus BX-51WI, Nikon FN1, Zeiss Axioskop 2 FS and AxioExaminer, and the Leica DMLFS as well as older fi xed stage models. Inverted microscopetranslators are available for the Olympus IX71.Various different recording chambers can be accommodated in either the MT-150 chambercolumn or the insert in the MT-78-FS large stage. <strong>Sutter</strong> currently supports the Warner<strong>Instrument</strong>s/Harvard Apparatus Series 20 chambers and the ALA 35mm chambers. Other canbe accommodated. Dovetail slides for the MT-150 or inserts for the MT-78-FS are availablewith generic openings for users who wish to develop custom chambers.PHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM79

The MP-78 Large Moving Stage is available for patch slice or in vivo experiments where themicroscope body cannot be moved to view different fields of view. This is most common intwo-photon experiments where the excitation beam path must enter a fi xed microscope. In orderto visit wide-spaced fields of view, and potentially position pipettes at wide-spaced locations,the preparation and any associated manipulators must move together on a large stage.The MP-78 was introduced at the 2007 Imaging Structure and Function in the Nervous Systemcourse at Cold Spring Harbor Labs. The stage was very well received.

For ultimate fl exibility in positioning micromanipulators or other devices adjacent to yourmicroscope, look to the MT-75 series stands. These unique gantry systems offer adjustablevertical and horizontal axes and up to 360 de<strong>gr</strong>ees of rotation. Your manipulator or other devicewill mount to the 3/4 inch thick aluminum cantilever which is dovetailed for secure positioning.The cantilever assembly is mounted on a heavy 2 inch diameter stainless steel post. The post issupported within the same extruded aluminum tower used in our MT-70 stands. The tower can becenter mounted or edge mounted to the baseplate for an additional de<strong>gr</strong>ee of positioning freedom.Vertical positioning is achieved with an aluminum collar which securely locks onto the steel postto fi x the height of the system. The MT-75 is suitable for use with most inverted microscopes, andcan be adjusted from a minimum height of 8 5/8 inches to a maximum height of 12 1/2 inches.The MT-75S is suitable for most upright scopes, and can be adjusted from 6 5/8in to 9 1/2in.These systems are very stiff, defl ecting approximately 2µm per 25mm rise with a 1.5 kg load atthe end of the cantilever.MICROMANIPULATIONA quick lock mechanism allows easy unlocking and rotation of the post/cantilever assembly upto 320 de<strong>gr</strong>ees, then rotation back to the same positive stop position and locking in place (e.g.insertion and removal of microelectrodes from headstages). Remove the positive stop and youhave a full 360 de<strong>gr</strong>ee rotation. A Tefl on washer contributes to the smooth rotation of the system.The solid aluminum baseplate has through-holes on 1inch (25mm) centers for mounting onto tables.The cantilever has eighteen 1 inch spaced 10-32 holes along the edges. The MT-75/LS manipulatormount provides additional fl exibility of movement. In multiple manipulator setups, rotationalmovement for pipette replacement is often not possible. Using a long linear rail, the manipulatorcan be quickly and smoothly moved to a location where there is easy access to the pipette forreplacement. After replacement, the manipulator can be slid back into a fi xed stop that definesthe working position.The linear slide system can also be added to existing MT-75 stands by ordering the MT-7004 linearslide cantilever alone.PHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM99

For those who wish to use the MP-285 or MP-225 manipulator in conjunction with an invertedmicroscope, <strong>Sutter</strong> <strong>Instrument</strong> has designed a series of Microscope Dependent (MD) stands.The typical MD stand is a manipulator platform that bolts directly to the frame of an invertedmicroscope. Stands are available in either single-sided or double-sided versions for the mostcommon inverted microscopes made by Nikon, Olympus, Leica, and Zeiss. These platformslend themselves to the absolutely drift-free recording confi guration required when using themanipulators to position patch-electrodes to record from attached cells in culture. To mount theMP-285 to an MD stand, you also need either the X285210 mounting adapter plate (for orthogonalmounting), or the 285RBI rotating base that allows for non-orthogonal mounting and rotation ofthe entire manipulator (note: the X285210 mounting plate is included with each MP-285 andMP-225). New mounting options and adapters for new microscopes are being added frequently.Please see our web site for new additions, current mechanical drawings, and dimensions.MICROMANIPULATIONPHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM105

OPTICAL INSTRUMENTSPrecise mechanical movement and wellengineered electronics have always beenhallmarks of <strong>Sutter</strong> <strong>Instrument</strong> products. Overfi fteen years ago, our entrance into the opticalproducts market capitalized on these attributeswhen we set out to produce a reliable, fast,electronically quiet, computer controlled filterwheel. The result was the Lambda 10, whichmet all of our original performance goals, andproved itself as a very rugged and reliableinstrument.The success of the Lambda 10 led to thedevelopment of a new generation of wavelengthswitching products, and one of the widestranges of accessories in the industry. Ourcurrent design, the Lambda 10-3 controllerallows for the use of three filter wheels withoutthe expense of additional controllers. TheLambda 10-B has also been added as a lowercost alternative for those who do not require allthe features of the Lambda 10-3. Both of thesecontrollers can be coupled to our original filterwheel, as well as our latest line of wheels whichhave been designed for 25mm as well as largerdiameter filters.When the Lambda 10 was first introduced,most imaging systems could not keep up withits 55msec switching time. As technology hasadvanced in the field of imaging, demand hasincreased for faster wavelength switchingspeed. <strong>Sutter</strong> <strong>Instrument</strong> has respondedwith the Lambda DG-4 PLUS , an inte<strong>gr</strong>atedillumination system capable of switchingwavelengths in less than 0.5msec.108 PHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM


As demands for high throughput and lowerexposure times have increased, the need for astand-alone high power light source was metwith the Lambda LS. This inte<strong>gr</strong>ated 175 (or 300)Watt xenon arc lamp, cold mirror, and powersupply system is available in an effi cient singlecabinet design. Our lamp product family wasrecently expanded with the Lambda XL, whichuses electrodeless bulb technology to producea highly stable, long lifetime light source.<strong>Sutter</strong> <strong>Instrument</strong> developed and designed theSmart Shutter to address the need for a robustand reliable shutter to serve as a component inour imaging line or as a stand-alone solution foroptical applications. The Smart Shutter offersthe most sophisticated shutter control available.Microprocessor control of the stepper-motorallows the user to optimize movement for speedor smoothness, produce a variable aperture, andachieve open/close times of 8msec fromtrigger. The Smart Shutter is compatiblewith the Lambda 10-3, Lambda 10-B/IQ, andLambda SC controllers.Customization of our optical product line forunique applications has become a specialtyfor <strong>Sutter</strong> <strong>Instrument</strong>. New technology hasbeen incorporated in various custom and OEMfilterwheels. For example, for systems using alarge number of filter wheels, <strong>Sutter</strong> <strong>Instrument</strong>developed an RS-485 serial bus to allow upto 16 controllers to share a single serial porton a host computer. <strong>Sutter</strong> <strong>Instrument</strong> hasalso developed sensor and motor technologyfor a system of filter wheels running at liquidhelium temperatures for use with astronomicaltelescopes.

The Movable Objective Microscope (MOM) is the basis of an in vivo, two-photon microscope,particularly when 2-P imaging requires simultaneous electrophysiology. The objective moves inthree dimensions, and can tilt, allowing for easy approach to brain areas that are not horizontal;in vivo specimens can be fi xed in a more natural position. <strong>Sutter</strong> offers a package that includes,in addition to the central core of the scope: XY scanners, photomultipliers, power supplies anddata acquisition.The MOM is an ultra-stable, versatile, fluorescence platform for electrophysiology experiments.As such, the MOM is also a useful alternative to the popular technique employing a fi xed-stage,upright microscope on a translating X-Y table. The advantage of the MOM is that only themicroscope objective is moving in three dimensions. The main frame of the microscope, includingthe scanners, laser, wide field excitation and camera mount are firmly bolted to the tabletop viaa rock solid aluminum extrusion.OPTICAL INSTRUMENTSThe Moving Objective Microscope body is very compact; it allows easy access for multiplemanipulators. One can place the specimen on a simple stand, like the <strong>Sutter</strong> MT-150 or stereotaxicframe and closely appose a number of other devices. Because there is no microscope frame belowthe objective, it is comparatively easy to use this microscope for larger in vivo preparations.Finally, the MOM is easily convertible from an upright to an inverted microscope. This would allowfor fi xed-stage electrophysiology experiments on cells in culture. Current designs require a massivetranslator and fi xed stage in combination with a commercial inverted scope.APPLICATIONS- In vivo two photon microscopy- Patch-slice, fi xed-stage microscopy- Non-horizontal surface microscopy- Simultaneous retainal stimulation and two photon microscopy 11“Eyecup scope-optical recordings of light stimulus-evoked fl uorescence signals in the retina”,Euler et al, Pfl ugers Arch, 2008PHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM111

The Lambda DG-4/DG-5 PLUS is a complete illumination system offering speed and versatility forexperiments requiring rapid wavelength switching. New digital servo technology allows faster filterswitching and 30% <strong>gr</strong>eater light output than the first generation DG-4/DG-5. The instrument retainsall the advantages of interference filter based systems, yet eliminates the temporal constraintsimposed by traditional filter changing devices like filter wheels. Switching between any twowavelengths is achieved in 0.5msec, allowing the user to perform real-time video imaging. The highswitching speed of the Lambda DG-4/DG-5 PLUS facilitates the ability to follow fast changes inion concentrations in dual wavelength ratio imaging applications and to monitor other concomitantchanges in the studied system at additional wavelengths.OPTICAL INSTRUMENTSNarrow bandpass systems, such as single cavity interference filters, <strong>gr</strong>ating monochromators,and A.O. modulators, pass unwanted harmonics of the desired wavelength. Also, with variablewavelength devices, it is not always possible to obtain suffi cient blocking of out-of-bandwavelengths. Modern interference filters, as used in the Lambda DG-4/DG-5 PLUS, do not passharmonics and have inte<strong>gr</strong>al blocking characteristics 1000 times better than typical monochromatorsystems. For the same full width at half maximum (FWHM), interference filters have a narrowerspectral bandpass than monochromators due to the absence of the slit function.The dual galvanometer design of the Lambda DG-4/DG-5 PLUS allows tuning of the relativeintensities at each wavelength. This adjustment is difficult to obtain in variable wavelength deviceswith a single optical path. Unlike monochromators and other wavelength selective systems, theLambda DG-4/DG-5 PLUS can be used as a source of white light when required.How it works:This unique optical design of the Lambda DG-4/DG-5 PLUS is based on dual scanning galvanometersutilizing interference filters for wavelength selection. The light from the xenon arc lamp is focused onthe first galvanometer mirror which directs it via a parabolic mirror, through one of the interferencefilter channels. Following the filter, a second parabolic and a second galvanometer mirror collect andredirect the light into the light guide. A cold mirror in the beginning of the light path eliminates theIR radiation, reducing significantly the amount of heat absorbed by the optics and the sample. Coldmirrors modified to pass near-IR to 780 to 880nm are also available.A built-in shutter function allows reduction of light intensity by fi ve to six orders of magnitude. Forapplications requiring mechanical shuttering, like time lapse experiments or very sensitive samples,the Smart Shutter can be inte<strong>gr</strong>ated into the device to assure that the light is completely blocked.The standard system, the Lambda DG-4 PLUS, holds up to four 25mm interference filters. TheLambda DG-5 PLUS, a fi ve filter version, accommodates three 18mm and two 25mm filters. While theswitching time between any two wavelengths is done in less than 0.5msec, the dwell time at anywavelength is arbitrarily set by the user.The liquid light guide can be coupled to the illumination port of most microscopes using an adapter whichcan be purchased separately.

FEATURESLAMBDA DG-4/DG-5 PLUS COMPLETE SYSTEM FORWAVELENGTH SWITCHINGThe Lambda DG-4 / DG-5 PLUS is a completeinte<strong>gr</strong>ated 175 (or 300) Watt light source andwavelength switching excitation system.Four or five interference filters can be easilyinstalled in the DG-4 or DG-5 PLUS, respectively.An additional standard neutral density filter can beinserted in the common path of the light.The light guide output from the Lambda DG-4 /DG-5 PLUS provides uniform spatial illumination,as well as vibration isolation from your microscopeA cold mirror assembly eliminates IR radiation,extending the lifetime of the optics and the lightguide, and preventing the exposure of the sample toIR when white light is necessary. INTEGRAL SHUTTERINGThe Lambda DG-4 / DG-5 PLUS provides a highspeed shutter function with open/close times of500µs. The shutter function reduces light intensityby 5 to 6 orders of magnitude.If complete light shuttering is required, a mechanicalshutter (i.e. Smart Shutter ) can be incorporatedinto the Lambda DG-4 / DG-5 PLUS. INTEGRAL NEUTRAL DENSITYFILTERINGNeutral density filtering is achieved by offsettingthe output galvanometer such that the light is notcentered on the liquid light guide. Up to 15 logicalfilters can be defined with this method. Due to thescrambling effect of the light guide, the output hasexcellent uniformity.Direct insertion of neutral density optical filters isalso possible in the filter holders at any of the fouroptical channels. A final neutral density optical filtercan be placed in the exiting light path which willreduce the light output from all optical channels. TWO OUTPUTS FOR MONITORINGFILTER POSITIONA 4 bit TTL signal transmits the current opticalchannel (filter) position.A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) output producesa voltage showing which filter is in use. TURBO BLANKINGThe turbo blanking feature is designed for sitiuationswhen the switching is done between non-adjacentfilter positions. When the instrument is in this mode,the input and output galvanometer mirrors moveout of sync, thus preventing the sample form beingexposed to light of unwanted wavelength duringswitching and shuttering.OPTICAL INSTRUMENTSPHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM117

The Lambda LS is a stand-alone lighting system consisting of a xenon-arc lamp, lamp housing,cold mirror and power supply in a single enclosure. The Lambda LS is designed to be usedwith a liquid light guide which transmits remarkably fl at, intense, illumination to the opticaltrain of the user’s microscope or other instrumentation. The lamp’s cabinet accommodates astandard <strong>Sutter</strong> <strong>Instrument</strong> filter wheel that slides easily in and out of a slot in the light path.If desired, a second filterwheel can be mounted on the outside of the cabinet. When used withappropriate adapters, the light guide output is compatible with most common microscopesystems. Unlike the arc lamps used with most fluorescence microscopes, the xenon bulb ispre-aligned using a parabolic mirror and does not require alignment, focusing or collimation.In the standard confi guration, the Lambda LS bulb is capable of producing light output from330nm to a cutoff of 650nm determined by the cold mirror. An optional enhanced UV bulbproduces output much lower into the UV (cut off near 200nm). As with any UV generatinglight source, the optional bulb generates signifi cant quantities of ozone and must be used inan adequately ventilated environment.OPTICAL INSTRUMENTSThe Lambda LS utilizes a compact design, which places power supply, lamp house, arc lampand cold mirror in a single enclosure. This system eliminates a common failure associated withstandard arc lamp designs: when using a remote power supply aging may lead to a decreasedability to light the lamp due to loss of the insulating characteristics of the lengthy high-tensionline. As with all our equipment, the power supply has been designed to minimize electricalnoise that can be picked up by physiological recording equipment.PHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM125

The Lambda 10-3 is the latest generation of <strong>Sutter</strong>’s high performance filter wheel changers. The controllernow offers faster switching times, synchronous independent control of 3 filter wheels and 2 shutters(or 2 filter wheels and 3 shutters), and expanded communication interface options. Recent advances inmotor technology allow the Lambda 10-3 to achieve switching times of 40msec between adjacent filters.In addition, the controller commands can now be accessed via USB, serial, parallel, and keypad interfaces.The Lambda 10-3 controls a variety of standard <strong>Sutter</strong> filter wheels including the popular 10 position25mm wheel, a lighter 4 position 25mm wheel, a 10 position 32mm wheel, 5 position 50mm wheel, anda compact belt-drive 4 position wheel. The embedded controllers automatically detect the equipmentinstalled and the source of the external commands, so there are no jumper wires or switches to set. Thereare seven speed settings available to optimize the rate of movement in accordance with the load of thewheel. The Lambda 10-3 can operate up to 40msec switching time with the traditional 25mm filter wheelas well as our newer, high-speed 32mm version. The 4 position wheel (LB10-NWHS4) provides additionalspeed and can achieve switching times of less than 33msec. Nearly all of our filter wheels employ a directdrive system. This design eliminates problems with belt slippage and backlash, assuring that our wheelsare exceptionally robust.OPTICAL INSTRUMENTSEach wheel will accommodate filters from 1 to 9mm in thickness, allowing multiple filters to be used ineach position. For instance, this allows users to insert a neutral density filter along with an interferencefilter in a single position. We have designed the body of the filter wheel with a trap to eliminate lightscatter. For added stability, non-emission filter wheels come with a sturdy support stand and 12 inch rods.In addition to filter wheels, the Lambda 10-3 controller supports our patented stepper-motor controlledSmart Shutter as well as the Uniblitz ® shutter. Either shutter can be mounted directly onto the wheel,providing a compact wheel/shutter package for systems with mounting constraints.Both shuttered and non-shuttered filter wheels can be installed directly on the microscope in a number oflocations: excitation, emission, Keller ports, and the trinocular head. Up to two excitation and/or neutraldensity filter wheels can be used with the Lambda LS xenon light source and liquid light guide, in vibrationsensitive systems. The Smart Shutter can be mounted independently from the wheel in any location in thelight path (including the Lambda LS and Lambda DG-4/DG-5), and driven in a stand-alone configuration bythe Lambda 10-3 controller. The microscope specific adapters necessary for any configuration of wheelsand shutter are listed in the Microscope Adapters section of the catalog.The Lambda 10-3 commands are a superset of the Lambda 10-2, thus inte<strong>gr</strong>ating all previously availablefeatures into the new design. Additional commands are incorporated to access the third wheel as well asthe special Smart Shutter features. These configurations can be pro<strong>gr</strong>ammed through the keypad makingit easy to use the previous shutter commands to access the Smart Shutter specific functions such as theneutral density or the ‘soft’ shutter mode.Filter selection can be made directly from the keypad or from a computer via the serial, parallel, or USB port.The controller determines the shortest route to the selected filter and an acceleration/deceleration algorithmminimizes vibrations during the movement of the wheel. Internal sensors ensure correct filter positioning andcurrent filter position is displayed on the front panel. The serial port accepts RS-232 level signals through a DB-9connector. USB input is made through a standard connector and can be directly connected to a PC USB port.The universal power supply will automatically switch to accommodate the line voltage – no useradjustment is required. An optional liquid light guide is available for applications requiring absolutevibration isolation, and/or spatial illumination uniformity.PHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM131

The Lambda 10-2 is the ideal choice for researchers whose applications are intolerant of electricalnoise. The low-noise linear electronics of the controller assure that only DC voltages are presenton the motor windings when the wheels are not moving.The Lambda 10-2 is capable of independently operating up to two filter wheels and two Uniblitz ®shutters. The reliable, smooth operation of the Lambda 10-2 has made it highly suitable forresearch applications involving fluorescence microscopy, ratio imaging, spectrophotometry,and visual physiology.The controller electronics are designed around three embedded chips: one slave for eachwheel and a master for control and communication.OPTICAL INSTRUMENTSThe Lambda 10-2 system can hold up to ten optical filters (25mm in diameter and up to 9mm thick)which are easily loaded through an access port on the housing. Additional filters (e.g. heat and/or neutral density filters) may be inserted manually at two other locations in the optical path. Theoptical ports on both sides of the unit are internally threaded as C-mounts (32 threads per inch).When mounted in an upright position, the center of the optical port can be positioned from 11cmto 53cm above the mounting surface. Slide-in filter holders are optionally available for invertedconfi gurations. A second wheel can be added to the system with no need for additional mechanicalor electronic changes.Eight user selectable speeds are provided. Filter to adjacent filter time can be set from 55 to1200msec, depending on the number and the weight of the filters mounted in the wheel. Inte<strong>gr</strong>alshutter drivers will open the optional shutter in 10msec. The use of a direct drive stepper-motorwith advanced microstepping technology and intelligent acceleration and deceleration algorithmsassures the fastest possible moves for a given inertial load, while minimizing vibrations.The Lambda 10-2 consists of a 10-position filter wheel, a rack mountable controller, a support baseand mounting rods, a controller/filter wheel interface cable, parallel and serial interface cables,two drop-in filter holders, spanner wrench, and manual. Microscope adapters for most Nikon,Olympus, Zeiss, and Leica scopes can be purchased separately.An optional liquid light guide output is available for applications requiring absolute vibrationisolation, and/or uniform spatial illumination. The two meter long guide mounts directly ontothe output port of the wheel. Transmission through the guide is better than 70% from 375nm to575nm. Adapters to connect the light guide to your microscope port are available as an option.PHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM137

The Lambda 10-B is a high performance, microprocessor-controlled filter wheel for imaging applicationsrequiring a single filter wheel. The latest release in <strong>Sutter</strong>’s optical filter changer product line, theLambda 10-B, uses recent advances in motor technology to achieve switching times of 40msec betweenadjacent filters. When used with the high-speed 4 position wheels, the Lambda 10-B achieves switchingtimes of less than 31msec. It features both USB and serial port interfaces as well as keypad control.The Lambda 10-B is capable of controlling both the Smart Shutter as well as the Uniblitz ® shutter. TheLambda 10-B is a low-cost alternative and ideal for imaging applications requiring a single filter wheel.The Lambda 10-B can operate with switching times as brief as 40msec with our standard 25mm filterwheel as well as our 32mm wheel. The user can select from seven speeds, allowing the speed to beadjusted in accordance with the load of the wheel. Except for the 4 position compact wheel, our filterwheels employ a direct drive system: a feature that prevents belt slippage or backlash. An optionalshutter installation is also available.OPTICAL INSTRUMENTSFilter selection can be made directly from the keypad or from a computer via the serial or USB port.The Lambda 10-B controller determines the shortest route to the selected filter and an acceleration/deceleration algorithm minimizes vibrations during the movement of the wheel. The current filter positionis displayed on the front panel. Internal sensors monitor the position of the filter wheel to insure that thecorrect filter is in place. The drive uses switching mode current regulation, which is more economicalthan the linear supply of the Lambda 10-2. Although this is not a problem with most imaging applications,the Lambda 10-2 may be more appropriate for systems where electrophysiology is performed.Both serial and USB input ports are provided to allow complete and easy control from a remote computer.The serial port accepts RS232 level signals through a DB-9 connector. USB input is made through astandard connector and can be directly connected to a USB port. The Lambda 10-B’s USB port interfacesupports multiple USB devices simultaneously, allowing a user to run in tandem as many units as USBports. The universal power supply will automatically switch to accommodate local line voltage.OPTIONS:The basic system for the Lambda 10-B includes our popular 10 position 25mm filter wheel. A significantadvantage of the Lambda 10-B controller is that it can accommodate a variety of <strong>Sutter</strong> filter wheelsto suit your particular requirements. The controller will automatically detect and determine the modelof wheel installed and adjust for the number of positions and filter size.Our 32mm wheel was designed to remedy the problem of vignetting that may occur with a 25mmfilter format in certain microscope systems, and can achieve the same 40msec switching times as our25mm wheel.For applications requiring a larger aperture opening, there is a 5 position 50mm filter wheel. If additionalspeed is required, we offer a high-speed, 4 position 25mm wheel which is capable of achieving 31msecswitching times between adjacent filters. An optional liquid light guide is available for applicationsrequiring absolute vibration isolation, and/or spatial uniformity independent of wavelength. TheLambda 10-B is also capable of controlling either the SmartShutter or the Uniblitz shutter.PHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM143

The Lambda SC is a full-featured micro-processor controlled shutter driver for the SmartShutter .It supports the same shutter command set used for our other Lambda controllers and offersenhanced performance through additional modes of operation. The additional operating modesallow pro<strong>gr</strong>ammable control over the exposure time, the delay between exposures, the numberof exposures, the mode of triggering and the mode of shutter operation. The Lambda SC utilitypro<strong>gr</strong>am allows computer control and confi guration of multiple SC controllers through serial orUSB ports.In the Lambda 10 family of filter wheel controllers, shutter timing is controlled directly by thetime of occurrence of commands or TTL input. In most cases, the system software used withthese controllers has provisions for controlling the timing of the shutter. The Lambda SC shuttercontroller may be used in applications that would benefi t from enhanced control options built intothe controller. A convenient toggle switch on the front panel has three positions: OPEN (shutterwill open regardless of other inputs), CLOSED (shutter will close regardless of other inputs) andAUTO. In the AUTO position, the controller can be operated remotely from a computer throughthe USB port, or opened and closed using a logic level input.OPTICAL INSTRUMENTSIn the free running mode, the shutter will open and close repeatedly. The time between closingand reopening can either be directly timed, or set as an interval for the entire cycle. Delay andexposure intervals can be set by the user for up to 5 hours with millisecond resolution. This modecan be set to continuously run or loop for a specifi c number of cycles. The mode is initiated frompower up, or a trigger pulse, and can be interrupted by using a stop command.Because the SmartShutter incorporates a microprocessor controlled motor/wiper design, thetrajectory of each move can be controlled and the motion of the blade optimized for speed or forsmoothness. When speed is the most important condition, the user can select the fast mode.If the modest amount of vibration in the fast mode is objectionable and speed is not important,the “soft” mode can be selected, moving the blade slower through the overall travel.The neutral density mode results in a partial opening of the SmartShutter. Any one of the144 steps from a fully closed to fully open can be selected. Using this variable apertureopening along with a liquid light guide acts to spatially homogenize the light to produce auniform spatial illumination that’s independent of the geometry of the input illumination.PHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM149

The SmartShutter is designed to complement our <strong>gr</strong>owing line of optical products and sets a newstandard for shutter performance and reliability. In the traditional shutter design there are two or more“leaves” that rub against each other. Given time, the blades will wear down, bind, and the shutter willfail to open. The SmartShutter is designed with only one moving part, which virtually eliminates theeffects of wear and markedly improves performance. In the traditional shutter design there is an additionalissue of the leaves binding in extreme temperature conditions. To solve this problem our shutter bladehas the ability to perform well under very high temperature conditions and extending the life of the shutter.The SmartShutter incorporates a new high-performance motor drive and precision stepper-motor toprovide added control and durability. Traditional shutters use a solenoid actuator requiring a high initialopening voltage for rapid opening of the shutter. This can overheat or burn out the coil of the shutter ifthe shutter is opened too frequently. With our microprocessor controlled motor/wiper design, we cancontrol the trajectory of each move and optimize the motion of the blade for speed or for smoothness. TheSmartShutter, in either the 25mm or 35mm version, operates with open/close times of 8msec from thecommand (3msec from the start of motion). Since our robust design does not rely on over-driving thewindings, we can achieve continuous operation at certain frequencies up to 40 Hz for the 25mm version,and 20 Hz for the 35mm model. While the 25mm SmartShutter can run at frequencies up to 40 Hz,some repetition rates may excite undesirable resonances that interfere with proper operation.A small adjustment in frequency will normally correct this.OPTICAL INSTRUMENTSBecause the shutter blade is stopped by the action of the motor rather than mechanical stops,SmartShutter units tested for over 100 million cycles show no sign of failure. The standardSmartShutter blade is made of untreated aluminum. Non-reflective coatings are available uponrequest and are not recommended for use with arc lamps.The microprocessor-based controller provides exceptional versatility and is adaptable to variousmodes of operation and function. The SmartShutter can be pro<strong>gr</strong>ammed for a variety of movementprofiles or to produce a variable aperture by determining the de<strong>gr</strong>ee of shutter opening. When usedin our Lambda LS xenon light source and coupled with a liquid light guide, the shutter acts as apro<strong>gr</strong>ammable neutral density filter. In addition, while the impulse of our shutter is minimal,a “soft” action mode can be selected to decrease vibration.The LB10-B/IQ controller for the SmartShutter is capable of driving up to two shutters. To support thisfunction a TTL input is supplied for remote triggering of the shutter, as well as a TTL output to supportremote triggering of external devices such as a camera. The controller can also be operated locally(manually) from the controller keypad or remotely from a computer through either the USB or serial port.A dedicated single shutter controller, the Lambda SC is also available and provides a USB port, serial,TTL in and TTL sync out. The Lambda SC allows pro<strong>gr</strong>ammable control over the exposure time, andthe delay between trigger and shutter opening.Originally designed to be inte<strong>gr</strong>ated into our 25mm and 32mm filter wheels, housings are also availablefor stand-alone units and for use in our Lambda LS, Lambda XL, and Lambda DG-4/DG-5 opticalproducts. The standard SmartShutter blade is made of untreated aluminum. Non-reflective coatingsare available upon request and are not recommended for use with arc lamps. The modularity of theSmartShutter assures that repairs, should they be necessary, are simple and economical.PHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM153

MICROINJECTIONXenoWorks ® is a modular microinjection systemdesigned to meet a wide variety of applicationneeds. Our experience with precision motorcontrol has culminated in this state-of-the-artsystem.The XenoWorks Micromanipulator uses aclassic inverted joystick design for excellentergonomics, intuitively linking the user withthe micropipette. Combined with our smooth,responsive stepper-motor drives, the XenoWorksManipulator provides exceptional mechanicalstability, sensitivity, and range of movement.The XenoWorks Digital Microinjector wasdesigned for precision manipulation of cellsvia an easy-to-use interface. The DigitalMicroinjector employs two pressure ports,one for holding suspended cells, and a secondchannel is available for both high-pressureinjection and gentle positive/ negative pressurefor transfer of embryonic stem cells. Bothinjection duration and pressure are easilyselectable using rotary knobs on the remoteinterface. The built-in compressor removes theneed for an external pressure supply.


The XenoWorks family also includes theAnalog Microinjector for simple cell holdingand transfer applications, which incorporatesthe same smooth response and ergonomicdesign of our other XenoWorks products.APPLICATIONS- Pronuclear microinjection of DNA intomouse zygote- Embryonic stem cell transfer into blastocysts- Somatic cell nuclear transfer (ES cell)- Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)- Piezo-assisted sperm-mediated transgenesis- Nuclear transfer (NT)- Adherent cell microinjection- Drosophila injection- C.

The XenoWorks ® Micromanipulator has been designed around our hugely-successful MP-285electrophysiology micromanipulator, with the addition of a smooth-moving adjustable invertedjoystick. Because the motor drive is based on an electrophysiology design, the XenoWorksMicromanipulator is extremely stable and resistant to ambient vibration. This stability also makesthis manipulator an ideal platform for use in conjunction with the PrimeTech PMM-150FU PiezoImpact Drive (see page 166), for applications such as mouse nuclear transfer and intracytoplasmicsperm injection.MICROINJECTIONThe joystick offers an unprecedented level of user comfort during operation. The use of an invertedjoystick in conjunction with an almost zero-profile base allows the operator to rest their handsand forearms on the bench surface, providing ease of use and added ergonomics. The functionkeys and declutch mechanism can be located and activated by touch, removing the need to lookaway from the microscope, which will save time. Another time saving feature is the “Setup”function. Activating the setup function places the micromanipulator in the optimum position priorto beginning work (halfway on the Y-axis, three-quarters down on the Z-axis and three-quartersinwards on the X-axis). Once the manipulator is in the default setup position, the micropipette tipwill be positioned within the microscope’s optical path, reducing the time required find the pipettetip through the microscope. The setup function also ensures an adequate travel range in all axes ofmotion prior to starting work.The manipulator uses a pre-pro<strong>gr</strong>ammed “Home” position for fast micropipette exchange, andthe ability to determine a “Work” position so the pipette can be repositioned with the press of abutton. A Y-axis lockout function allows X-only axial movement for maximum control duringinjections, and a Z-limit memory position is used to prevent the pipette from colliding with thebottom of the dish.The XenoWorks joystick is designed to allow the user to immediately develop an intuitive feelthat makes it easy to precisely control position. Movement of the joystick is directly converted toa proportional movement of the manipulator. Speed control, center of travel, and pro<strong>gr</strong>ammablepositions are right at your fingertips. One unique feature of the joystick is the declutch mechanismthat allows for rapid repositioning of the joystick without moving the pipette. Combining thisadvanced joystick with the proven <strong>Sutter</strong> MP-285 manipulator technology creates an ideal systemfor intensive microinjection.PHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM167

The XenoWorks ® Digital Microinjector is designed for transgenic mammal workstations,and adherent cell, C. elegans, drosophila, zebrafish, xenopus and sea urchin injections. It iscapable of holding oocytes and embryos while simultaneously providing a separate pressurechannel for pronuclear microinjection of DNA or the gentle control of embryonic stem cells as theyare transferred into blastocysts. The microinjector employs two independent pressure channels,Hold and Inject/Transfer, which are controlled via the remote user interface.The hold port is a self-contained vacuum channel for gentle suspension-cell holding and can beswitched on and off as needed. The responsive rotary control is used to dial the pressure up ordown according to the de<strong>gr</strong>ee of hold required.MICROINJECTIONThe injector/transfer port is a second channel for delivering both high-pressure for femtoliter tomicroliter volume injections, and gentle positive/negative pressure for embryonic stem (ES) celltransfer. The transfer channel has four range settings to optimize the system to each applicationand user preference. It also includes a clear function which can be used if the pipette gets clogged.Two modes of injection, Continuous or Pulse, in combination with a balance pressure, are availableon this channel. In the continuous mode, the inject pressure is applied to the micropipette tip for aslong as the hand- or foot-switch is held down. In the Pulse mode, the inject pressure is applied fora precisely timed duration, which can be set in 0.01 second increments. Both injection durationand pressure are easily selectable using rotary controls on the remote interface. Injections areexecuted using the inject key on the remote interface, or the footswitch.Optimal ergonomics are again a prime consideration. The remote interface unit provides accessto all keys and rotary controls necessary to manipulate the parameters of the two pressurechannels, while the separate compressor controller can be positioned away from the microscopeto eliminate vibration.In addition to pronuclear injection, the XenoWorks Digital Microinjector can be used for a variety ofintracellular and extracellular applications including adherent and suspended cell microinjection.PHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM171

PRIMETECH PMM-150FUPIEZO IMPACT DRIVEMICROINJECTION<strong>Sutter</strong> <strong>Instrument</strong> offers the PrimeTech PMM-150FU piezo impact drive for challenging microinjectionapplications such as mouse nuclear transfer, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and blastocystinjection. Oocyte plasma membranes, particularly those of the mouse, are particularly sensitive tomicroinjection, which tends to result in oocyte death. Initially designed for porcine oocyte injection,the PrimeTech PMM was adapted for use in the mouse in 1995 (Kimura, Y. and Yanagimachi, 1995),and since then has become the gold standard for mouse nuclear transfer and ICSI.The PMM-150FU harnesses the “piezoelectric effect”: the tiny, but extremely rapid change of apiezoelectric crystal lattice when an electrical current is applied to it. This causes the micropipetteholder, which is placed in direct contact with the piezo element to vibrate. Two modes of piezo“drilling” are available with the PMM-150FU: A continuous train of pulses of desired frequency andamplitude are used to vibrate the micropipette, gently penetrating the zona pellucida of an oocyte orembryo, then a single pulse, again of desired amplitude, is used to break the oolemma and inject theoocyte. This approach makes it possible to achieve up to 100% survival of injected oocytes.IncludedXenoWorks Micromanipulator-specific micropipette holder clampPrimeTech factory warrantyFull technical support for piezo impact applicationsKimura, Y. and R.

MICROINJECTIONAPPLICATIONSThe confi guration of any micro-injection system will depend upon the application for which it isused. Some common applications and system confi gurations are:Embryonic Stem Cell Transfer into BlastocystsAnimals, usually mice, can be engineered with a specifi c gene function reduced or knocked outaltogether by introducing genetically altered embryonic stem cells into the cavity of a blastocystso that the stem cells contribute to the embryo. The resulting live animal is a chimera of bothgenotypes. Subsequent selective interbreeding of manipulated animals results in pure-bredgene “knock-outs” or “knock-downs” and can be used for subsequent gene function studies.This operation requires two micromanipulators, one for holding the blastocyst and one fortransferring the cells. Both holding and transfer functions require gentle positive and negativepressure for which the Digital Microinjector is ideal. Alternatively, two AnalogMicroinjectors may be substituted.Suggested system confi guration:1 x Micromanipulator (Right) BRMR1 x Micromanipulator (Left) BRML1 x Digital Microinjector BRE110/BRE220or2 x Analog Microinjector BRI2 x Microscope Adapter180 PHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM


Zygote Pronuclear DNA MicroinjectionThe microinjection of DNA into the pronucleus of a newly-fertilized mammalian egg is now acommon and highly effi cient method of creating transgenic offspring.MICROINJECTIONPronuclear microinjection was first described in the mouse, but now many different transgenicanimals have been created in this way. Because the micropipette used for injection has an internaldiameter typically less than one micron, relatively high pressure (>3000 hPa) is required to injectthe DNA solution. Two micromanipulators are required, one to hold the zygote and one to injectthe DNA. Gentle negative pressure is used on the holding side, while pulses of high pressure areused to inject 1–2 picoliters of DNA solution into the pronucleus. The XenoWorks ® DigitalMicroinjector is ideal for this application, having simultaneous holding and high-pressureinjecting capabilities.Suggested system confi guration:1 x Micromanipulator (Right) BRMR1 x Micromanipulator (Left) BRML1 x Digital Microinjector BRE110/BRE2202 x Microscope AdapterPHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM181


MICROINJECTIONAPPLICATIONSThe confi guration of any micro-injection system will depend upon the application for which it isused. Some common applications and system confi gurations are:Somatic Cell Nuclear TransferThe enucleation of an oocyte followed by the transplantation of a somatic cell is a method ofproducing genetically identical copies (clones) of the animal from which the donor cell wastaken. Generally, two micromanipulators are required: one for holding the oocyte and one for theenucleating and injecting procedures. Each micromanipulator <strong>gr</strong>ips a single micropipette holderwith a microinjector attached. Oocyte holding, enucleation and somatic cell transplantation requiregentle, low positive and negative pressure, making the Analog Microinjector ideal.Suggested system confi guration:1 x Micromanipulator (Right) BRMR1 x Micromanipulator (Left) BRML2 x Analog Microinjector BRI2 x Microscope Adapter182 PHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM


Intracytoplasmic Sperm InjectionIntracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) can be employed for veterinary in-vitro fertilization durin<strong>gr</strong>are species preservation or for any veterinary assisted conception. ICSI may also be used as agene transfer technique when sperm are co-injected with exogenous DNA (see also Piezo-assistedICSI, below). Typically, two micromanipulators are used, one for oocyte holding and one forsperm aspiration and injection. Each micromanipulator <strong>gr</strong>ips a single micropipette holder with amicroinjector attached. Since low positive and negative pressures are required for the delicatetask of oocyte holding and sperm injection, an ICSI workstation should be confi gured with twoAnalog Microinjectors.MICROINJECTIONSuggested system confi guration:1 x Micromanipulator (Right) BRMR1 x Micromanipulator (Left) BRML2 x Analog Microinjector BRI2 x Microscope AdapterPHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM183


MICROINJECTIONAPPLICATIONSThe confi guration of any micro-injection system will depend upon the application for which it isused. Some common applications and system confi gurations are:Piezo-assisted ICSIThis relatively new technique can be employed for assisted conception in animals in which standardICSI fails, such as mice. Piezo-assisted micro-injection has also been employed as a gene transfermethod, where sperm are coated in exogenous DNA and injected into oocytes. The microinjectionworkstation required for this technique is very similar to standard ICSI, but with the addition of apiezo impact drive attached to the injecting micropipette holder. The device vibrates the injectingmicropipette axially and drills its way into the oocyte. This method has been shown to increasesuccess rates. Because the micropipette is vibrating at minute amplitude but high frequency, it isvital to use a mechanically stable micromanipulator, which will not vibrate in sympathy. The morestable the micromanipulator, the more effi cient the energy transfer from the piezo impact driveto the micropipette tip. Some piezo-assisted microinjection protocols currently require a bead ofmercury inside injecting micropipette. Please note that mercury should not be used in conjunctionwith the Digital Microinjector, though the Analog Microinjector is ideal forthis purpose.Suggested system confi guration:1 x Micromanipulator (Right) BRMR1 x Micromanipulator (Left) BRML2 x Analog Microinjector BRI2 x Microscope Adapter1 x PMM-150FU184 PHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM


Microinjection of Cultured, Adherent CellsCultured cell lines such as 3T3, CHO and HeLa can be microinjected while attached to a Petri dish.The procedure is best viewed through phase-contrast optics; a single micromanipulator and asingle high-pressure microinjection channel are required. The tip of a sharp (inner diameter lessthan 1 micron) micropipette is brought down on top of a single cell and a pulse of high (100–1000 hPa) pressure applied. The cell membrane is ruptured and the cell can be seen to infl ateslightly. Volumes injected are typically less than 5% of the cell volume. Success rates vary widelydepending upon the type and volume of compound injected, the culture conditions and the cellline used. The high-pressure function of the Digital Microinjector and the smooth, finecontrol of the micromanipulator are particularly well-suited to this application.MICROINJECTIONSuggested system confi guration:1 x Micromanipulator (Right) BRMR1 x Digital MicroinjectorBRE110/BRE2201 x Microscope AdapterPlease contact <strong>Sutter</strong> <strong>Instrument</strong> for help and advice with these and any other microinjection needs.hPHONE: 1-888-883-0128 • FAX: 1-888-883-0900INTL PHONE: 1-415-883-0128 • INTL FAX: 1-415-883-0572EMAIL: INFO@SUTTER.COM • WEB: WWW.SUTTER.COM185
