“Laser-assisted Thermal-expansion Microinjection” Patent Application Number (2004) 361448 |
||
|
||
Heat-induced expansion of liquid in a sealed capillary generates high pressure, which enables injection by capillaries with the tip diameter around 0.1m (Knoblauch et al., Nature Biotech., 1999). As the heat source, we chose a laser beam which enabled us to directly heat hydrophobic liquid containing laser absorber through the capillary glass and to precisely control the injection flow. |
*Please be aware that LTM-1000 can not be used for Arecaceae family due to the patent license.
