Microinjectors for transformation

[Graham Thomas]

We are thinking of buying a microinjector for doing embryo transformations.
A number of people we know use 'gas' driven models (e.g. Eppendorf's), but
there also seem to be peizoelectric 'syringe' type injectors (e.g.
Drummonds nanoject) that can cope with suitable volumes and would not
require the fuss and bother of gas tanks etc. Does anyone out there have
any experience using the LATTER type of model?

Cheers!
