These kits are specially designed for eye research for injecting retinal
pigment epithelium (RPE) and intraocular (IO) in addition to brain injection
in mice. They need to be used with a NanoFil syringe and UMP3 to
achieve accurate, repetitive, and oil free injection in the submicroliter
range. Each kit includes two pieces of Silflex tubing (one for a spare), a
holder assembly, spare gaskets, and an assortment of four tips - blunt for
the RPE kit and beveled tips for the IO kit. Each kit comes with one each of
33, 34, 35 and 36 gauge tips so that first time users can find the best size
for their application.
The Silflex tubing is the most critical component of the kit. This 35
cm long, flexible tubing has a very precise outer diameter for airtight
fitting with the syringe. It also has a small inner diameter for minimum
dead volume, and is very durable when handled correctly. The SilFlex
is coupled to the injection tip with a mechanism similar to that of the
NanoFil. The dead volume of the entire kit (including the tubing) is less
than 3 microliters. All of the components in the kit are constructed of inert,
solvent resistant, and autoclavable materials for easy cleaning after viral
injection.
