Nikon NT88-V3 Micromanipulator Systems

Combining ease of operation with the utmost in precision to handle a variety of micromanipulation tasks.

Nikon and Narishige developed this high precision, compact micromanipulator system in response to increasing demand from the IVF/ICSI market. Whatever the application — IVF (in-vitro fertilization), ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection), electrophysiology, or biotechnology— the NT88-V3 and other high quality micromanipulation equipment from Nikon will meet the task.

• Compact design results in reduced distance from manipulator mount to microelectrode tip thereby increasing stability.

• Hanging type joystick provides superior ergonomics and operability.

• Smooth movement without microelectrode drift.

• Modified mounting direction of the universal joint facilitates pipette attachment and removal.

• Angle gauge incorporated in the universal joint ensures repeatable and accurate-angle electrode and pipette orientation.

• Combined 3D motor-drive coarse manipulator and 3D oil-hydraulic fine manipulator for increased stability.

• Equipped with microelectrode return mechanism for easy petri dish changing.
