PULLERS, BEVELERS Glass Micropipette Beveler for submicron tips Easier cell impalement results in less damage and longer cell life An optically-flat mirrored glass disk, wetted with an abrasive slurry, spins at 60 rpm (120 V), producing sharply beveled tips on fluid-filled glass microelectrodes of one micron or smaller. This eases cell impalement and improves the electrode's linearity. The microelectrode’s resistance can be monitored during beveling with WPI’s Ωmega-Tip-Z™ megohm meter (see page 81). The beveler is permanently mounted on a precision magnetic plate that gives stable support for the optional 1350M Micropositioner shown. Start-up kit includes 0.05 µm alumina abrasive powder #3531, wick electrode, and wick support. SYS-1300M Microelectrode Beveler & Start-Up Kit (micropositioner not included) Specify line voltage.
