Question
Asked 27th Sep, 2013
Does anyone have experience with XenoWorks (by Sutter) micromanipulators/microinjectors? What is your impression of their products?
I need to buy a microinjection system for my new lab. In my current lab (postdoc) we use the FemtoJet and CellTram Oil by Eppendorf and micromanipulators by Narishige. These are excellent products, but also pretty expensive and the only ones I ever used. It might be smart to consider other companies as well. XenoWorks, a brand sold by Sutter, has a lower price tag. The question is whether their micoinjection products are good. If you have recommendations for other companies let me know as well.
