(Click to see larger image) This model has been discontinued and replaced by the similar, but more full-featured PC-10.

Vertical Pull Type for producing microelectrodes and performing double mode pulling.

The method used by this puller is to pull the glass capillary vertically, using the gravitational force of its own weight.&nbsp For more versatility, two modes are provided: a single pull, which pulls at one stretch, and a double pull in which the setting is changed in mid-process.&nbsp The PP-830 can therefore produce firm microelectrodes for patch clamping (its main purpose) as well as long, thin microelectrodes for intracytoplasmic sperm injection.&nbsp To save on cost, production in the double mode is by the conventional method of moving the heater manually and arresting the first step by means of the stopper.&nbsp Digital values, with the maximum output of the electromagnet and heater represented as 100, are shown on the display and the heater output is continually increased, making accurate mass production easier.&nbsp This puller has several simple features to enhance ease of use, such as the employment of two weights (light and heavy) for tension adjustment.
