Microelectrode puller requested for electrophysiologists at the university of waterloo

滑铁卢大学神经科学研究小组包括David Spafe博士和Matthijs van der Meer博士(生物系)要求德国Zeitz-Instruments Vertriebs GmbH生产的Zeitz Model DMZ通用微电极拉拔器。Zeitz拔线器可通过明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯的Dagan公司在北美以21,560加元的价格购买。用于电生理记录的微电极的制作是神经生理学家必不可少的工具。微电极拉动器每天都在与助理研究员、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吸管拉拔器。这是一台已有12年历史的P-97火焰/棕色微吸管拉出器，已停止正常工作。滑铁卢大学没有第二个拉出器可以用来制作微电极，因此必须有第二个拉出器。我们正在寻求用Zeitz型DMZ通用微电极拉出器取代旧的微吸管拉出器。Zeitz模型是一种新一代的拉出器，它将从玻璃上拉出电极，并自动抛光电极尖端，以进行电生理记录。有制造精度较低的吸头的立式微吸管拉出器(Sutter P-30/Kopf)和更昂贵的基于激光的机器(Sutter P-2000)，但这两种机器都不能满足我们的需求。我们只提供一种Zeitz Model拉料器的报价，因为市场上没有其他同等的拉料器。

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.
