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 are used exclusively with a a NanoFil™ syringe and UMP3to achieve accurate and repeatable oil free injections down to submicroliter ranges. Each kit includes two pieces ofSilflextubing, a holder assembly, spare gaskets, and an assortment of four needles — 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 needles so that first time users can find the best size for their application.
The Silflex tubing is a very important component of the kit. This 35cm long, flexible tubing has a precise outer diameter for airtight fitting with the syringe. It also has a small inner diameter to minimize dead volume. The SilFlex is coupled to the injection tip with a seal system similar to that of the NanoFil. The dead volume of the entire kit (including the tubing) is less than 3microliters. All of the components in the kit are constructed of inert, solvent resistant materials for easy cleaning after viral injection.
