Applications
The MF200 Microforge is a versatile instrument designed specifically for the fabrication of glass micropipettes and other related tools. The system was developed in collaboration with Dr. Ming Li of the Department of Pharmacology, University of South Alabama. It is perfect for patch pipette tip polishing, tip size reduction, contact stretching, in vitro fertilization pipette production and a variety of other pipette configurations. The MF200 simple, reliable and is priced economically.
Features
The MF200 system includes: An easy to use analog temperature controller, a specially configured WPI model W30S research grade compound microscope, 40x long-working distance objective and 10x eyepiece. 40x magnification is essential when polishing pipettes as small as half a micron (0.5 µm) in diameter. Compared to a conventional 40x objective, the long working distance objective reduces the danger of damage to the pipette and/or objective lens during the polishing process. It is also the only commercial microforge using the Kohler illuminator and Abbe condenser for illumination. This provides less glare and sharper image of the pipette than frosted glass illuminator, which was used on all of the other commercial Microforge. |
