项目摘要

The University of Waterloo Neuroscience Research Group including Dr. David Spafford and Dr. Matthijs van der Meer (Department of Biology) requests a Zeitz Model DMZ Universal Microelectrode Puller produced by Zeitz-Instruments Vertriebs GmbH in Germany. The Zeitz puller is available in North America through Dagan Corporation of Minneapolis, Minnesota for $21,560 CAD. The fabrication of microelectrodes for electrophysiological recording is an essential tool for neurophysiologists. A microelectrode puller is in use every day with research associates, post-doctoral fellows, graduate students and undergraduate students. There is only one micropipette puller at the University of Waterloo. It is a twelve year old, P-97 Flaming/Brown Micropipette Puller that has stopped functioning properly. It is imperative that a second puller be available because there is no other puller available for crafting microelectrodes at the University of Waterloo. We are looking to replace the old micropipette puller with a Zeitz Model DMZ Universal Microelectrode Puller. The Zeitz model is a new generation puller that will pull electrodes from glass and also automatically polish the tips for electrophyiological recording. There are vertical micropipette pullers which make less precise tips (Sutter P-30 / Kopf) and more expensive Laser-Based machines (Sutter P-2000), but neither of these suited to our needs. We include only one quote for the Zeitz Model puller because there is no other equivalent puller on the market.

滑铁卢大学神经科学研究小组，包括David Spafford博士和Matthijs van der Meer（生物学系），要求Zeitz Model DMZ通用微电极Puller由Zeitz-Instruments Vertriebs Gmbh在德国在德国生产。 Zeitz Puller可在北美通过明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯市的达根公司（Dagan Corporation）以21,560美元的加油方式购买。用于电生理记录的微电极制造是神经生理学家的重要工具。每天都有一个微电极拉力者与研究伙伴，博士后研究员，研究生和本科生一起使用。滑铁卢大学只有一个微量夹具。这是一个十二岁的P-97火焰/棕色微型夹具，它已经停止正常运行。必须使用第二个拉拔器，因为没有其他拉拔器可以在滑铁卢大学制作微电极。我们希望用Zeitz型号DMZ通用微电极拉动机替换旧的微型移动器。 Zeitz型号是一种新一代的拉杆，它将从玻璃中拉出电极，并自动抛光电型电学记录的尖端。有一些垂直的微目拉拔器，它们的精确尖端（Sutter P-30 / KOPF）和更昂贵的激光机器（Sutter P-2000），但这些机器都不适合我们的需求。我们只为Zeitz型号拉手提供一个报价，因为市场上没有其他等效的拉杆。
