LTM-1000 Laser Thermal Microinjector

Heat-induced expansion of liquid in a sealed capillary generates high pressure, which enables injection by capillaries with the tip diameter around 0.1μm (Knoblauch et al., Nature Biotech., 1999). As the heat source, we chose a laser beam which enables us to directly heat the laser absorbing hydrophobic liquid through the capillary glass and to precisely control the injection flow.
