Installation Guide: Eppendorf PiezoXpert®

Piezo-assisted penetration of cell membranes, e.g. in the context of Piezo-ICSI for research, facilitates significantly reduced membrane deformation, disruption of the cytoskeleton, and thus potentially increases cell survial rates after injection. Piezo-assisted cell manipulation involves a specialized Piezo-actuator that transfers high-frequency, low-amplitude mechanical pulses to specialized blunt Piezo-microcapillaries. In this step-by-step installation video, we show how to correctly set up a micromanipulation workstation for the Eppendorf PiezoXpert.
