P-97 Flaming/Brown Micropipette Puller by Sutter Instrument Co.
Manufacturer Sutter Instrument Co.
The Model P-97 micropipette puller is the latest generation of the Flaming/Brown type puller for fabrication of micropipettes, patch pipettes and microinjection needles. While retaining many of the features on the Model P-87, the P-97 offers improvements in mechanical, electronic and software design. The result is better control of the pulling process and a higher degree of reproducibility. Features:
Environmental chamber
Programmable air pressure
Memory storage for up to 100 programs

"It is more stable then the p-87 model. The after sales help from Sutter Instrument Co. is very good; they have a pipette cookbook that is very helpful. "

Application Area:Electrophysiology
"This machine is relatively easy to use (note: reading the instructions is extremely helpful, we all like to skip that step but with this piece of equipment it is tremendously advantageous.) Once you get the settings you like, you’re good to go. There are newer models which make the process much easier, however they are really expensive. For the money, this gets the job done just fine for us. Be sure to NOT bend the heating filament - once you do that, you'll introduce a whole lot of problems. "
