Eppendorf TransferMan NK2 and either the FemtoJet or FemtoJet Express

The TransferMan NK2 allows the user to micro manipulate various samples, utilising the FemtoJet for injecting small volumes up to 100pL or the FemtoJet Express for volumes greater than 100pL. This system is also available on the upright DM2500. The injectors have variable injection pressure, timing and compensation pressure and are fully programmable which ensures reproducibility.
