PIEZO PMM6 Series Piezo Micromanipulator

The PMM piezo micromanipulator utilizes the driving force generated by piezoelectric elements to achieve excellent perforation performance on a variety of samples.
“PIEZO PMM6” is a piezo system in which we, as a pioneer of piezo injection, have put our extensive knowledge and experience.

PIEZO Micromanipulator PIEZO PMM6

 

 

※The PIEZO PMM6 Series of piezo micromanipulators has been redesigned with a new controller and touch panel.
The functions and configuration are the same as those of the PIEZO PMM4G series.

wide variety of applications

・Operation Details
ICSI (including sperm immobilization), RNA, DNA, ES-cell injection, nuclear transplantation, biopsy, assisted hatching, and other cell injection operations.
・Subjects
 Mouse, pig, bovine and other mammalian oocytes and embryos, medaka eggs, sea urchin eggs, ascidian eggs, mouse intrauterine embryos, etc.

component characteristics

PMM Drive Unit
Choice between two types depending on application

 MB-D-2

Output: Medium
Medium output model suitable for ICSI, ES-cell injection, biopsy operations, etc.
No slide unit or adapter is required for installation. Easy handling with injection holder fixing screw. Currently the mainstream model.

 MB-U-2
Output: High
This is a high output model that can be used for puncture operation with a large-diameter pipette.
It has supported numerous achievements in clone creation, ICSI operations, etc. Injection is performed while advancing toward the sample through the slide unit.

Foot Switch

・PMM drive unit drive (left pedal)
The PMM Drive Unit is driven by pedal operation. The PMM Drive Unit can be driven while operating the microscope or manipulator.
・Condition switching (right pedal)
Condition is switched by pedal operation. Condition switching is not performed with the touch panel and does not interfere with manipulation operations because there is no need to shift the line of sight to the touch panel.

PMM method Sample-friendly injection & operator-friendly, reliable switch operation 
"Sample-friendly operation"
When perforating the membrane, no deformation of the specimen!
At rupture of cell membrane, no aspiration or agitation of cytoplasm!

“Operator-friendly operation”
・Reliable perforation of the zona pellucida and rupture of cell membranes with switch operation
・Easy to learn and teach

Safe Pipette PT Micropipettes for PMM 

  • PMM Pipette with Flat Tip
     The PMM method, which uses a flat-tip pipette, eliminates the risk of inadvertently damaging the sample and realizes “sample-friendly operation”.
  • Concentration of Piezo Driving Force at the Tip
     One of the qualities required for PMM pipettes is the transmission of piezoelectric driving force, and PT Micropipettes convert the piezoelectric driving force into reliable puncturing performance with their well-developed transmission. Highly puncturable pipettes realize “sample-friendly operation”.
