A microfluidic microinjector for toxicological and developmental studies in Drosophila embryos
Abstract
Microinjection is an established and reliable method to deliver biological reagents such as transgenic constructs and drugs, to specific locations inside organisms such as the Drosophila embryo and C. elegans worm. In this paper, a simple compliant mechanism based PDMS-microinjection system has been demonstrated. Unlike conventional microinjectors, this unique system could allow one to precisely insert a long taper microneedle laterally and at …
