Features
- Permanent Storage of 80 programs
- One- or two-staged pulling programs, in which all variables (see below) can be set independently for each stage or the option of repeating the first stage
- No risk of breaking thin-walled capillary glass in the glass holders
- Choice of capillary glass outer diameter of 1 to 2 mm.
- Free choice and absolute reproducibility of all characteristics
- Suitable for pulling injection and suction pipettes
- Suitable for pulling intracellular electrodes with a tip diameter down to 0.2 µm and a resistance up to 100 MΩ
- Fast heater retraction to avoid the need for air-jet cooling
- Exceptionally low friction and inertia thanks to the unique pulling system
- Automatic compensation for variations in the thickness of the glass
- Suitable for pulling patch-clamp pipettes with precisely defined tip (usually between 1 and 80 µm)
- The puller may fire-polish patch clamp pipettes
- It can be used to fabricate patch-micropipettes well suitable for reaching gigaseals
- A high weight of 29 kg ensures a firm stand and therefore accurate results
- Precise shape and position of the filament has, compared to other pullers, less influence on the tip size and shape of the electrode
- The excellent reproducibility of electrode tip characteristics allows producing the electrode as required, immediately before use
- The mechanism doesn't need periodical calibration
Adjustable Variables
- Distance of pull (longitudinal)
- Pulling force (time-controlled program)
- Pulling force (distance-controlled program)
- Time- or distance controlled heating
- Heating power radiated by the filament
