Narishige's MF-830 microforge provides an ultra-fine finish to microelectrode tips for patch-clamp applications. The MF-830's advanced fire-polishing technology eliminates imperfections on the microelectrode surface which would otherwise damage delicate membranes when making tight patch seals.

The MF-830 features independent micromanipulators for positioning of the heater element and microelectrodes, as well as independent controls for heater and lamp adjustment. The unit features magnifications of 75X and 525X, with optional objective and eyepiece combinations available.

Microforge

MF-900: $7,297.30 † - Ships in 1-5 days

Narishige's MF-900 is a versatile microforge with multiple functions for making different kinds of microtools.

Based on Narishige's many years of practical experience, the MF-900 offers a wide range of functions for making many different kinds of microtools by processing microneedle tips. A pair of easy-to-use manipulators are provided for positioning the heater and pipette, and the microscope can be moved three-dimensionally using controls close to the operator's hand. Separate rotation mechanisms for vertical and horizontal movement allow the pipette to be approached at any angle, while a special device in the heater section can form it into any required shape. In addition to conventional scales, a protractor to measure angles is provided in the microscope eyepiece. The heater turned ON and OFF via a foot switch, and the heater section is integrated into the microscope body, so all control actions are performed easily, precisely and ergonomically.
