I. Electrophysiological instruments
• Gravipull-2 micropipette and electrode puller
Catalog #: P3020
This puller is specifically designed to pull multi- or singlebarrel pipettes for microiontophoresis and extracellular recording. The pulling force is generated by gravity using an 8-stage weight system. The sliding (lower) shaft travels up to 4" (100 mm) in vertical length providing a means to pull long-tapered multibarrel pipettes. It can be operated from either 115 VAC or 230 VAC with frequency ranging from 47 Hz to 60 Hz. The heating current is continuously regulated between 1 and 18 A at 12 VDC. Convenient halogen work light.
