Micro Pick and Place System MPP-300Z/MPP-300
Controlling ultrasmall volumes (picoliter range) easily
- The Micro Pick and Place System
- The system makes possible to transfer micro targets such as single cells one by one from one place to another place
observing the targets with a microscope.
- The system is based on the PicoPipet that has a small electroosmotic
pump in its pipette part. - It allows users to operate the system intuitively and anyone can easily
control suction/hold/discharge of ultra small volumes (picoloter range).
- The system makes possible to transfer micro targets such as single cells one by one from one place to another place

PicoPipet, pico-pipetting device
The PicoPipet is an electronic ultra-small-pipetting device that has an electroosmotic pump in its pipette part.
The special pump can easily control microfluidic flows without pulsation. The weight of the pipette part is just 10 g, and that enables precise manipulations.
- Smooth suction, hold and discharge are possible by simple rotating operations.
- The flow rate is 1 nl/min – 5 ul/min.
- A replaceable glass micropipette is connected to the tip of the pipette part.
- The pipette part can be operated with a manipulator. (If the target is large, the pipette part can be operated with one hand.)
PicoPipet holder
The PicoPipet holder is for holding the pipette part and being attached to a manipulator.
The light weight helps precise manipulations by a manipulator.
The position of the pipette part can be flexible because the angle of holding the pipette part can be changed freely.
There are three different holder lentghs; 40 mm, 80 mm, and 150 mm. The 150 mm version has a clamp for fixing the holder to a manipulator.

Compass Z, Zrobo-mounted video microscope
The Zrobo motor that enables automatic z-axis movements is mounted on the Compass video microscope. The height of the PicoPipet pipette part can be automatically changed to the intended height by touching the button on the control panel. (If you have the Compass, it can be upgraded to the Compass Z.)

Compass, video microscope
The Compass is a video microscope that works by a unique pattern-projection method. The images of transmissive objects like cells can be high-contrast and 3D-shape views under the simple optical system. With the PicoPipet, you can conveniently transfer a cell from one container to another while monitoring the process on the screen. The total magnification is 52x-425x (similar to microscope objective 20x).

Joystick manipulator
The joystick manipulator is a manual control micromanipulator that has a joystick bar to intuitively operate the PicoPipet pipette part at XY axis.
The brass bracket part enables the manipulator shape to be flexibly changed according to the microscope environment.
