RWD MP-500 - Softening Point Test

11
Note!
When the microelectrode used in vivo microinjection, RWD recommends the model of
glass is B-15086-10F、B-10078-10F、B-12069-10F、B-150110-10F;
When the microelectrode used in patch clamp, RWD recommends the model of glass is
B-15086-10F、B-12069-10F、B-150110-10F、B-12094-10F!
4.3 Softening point Test
The heating assembly of this device increase the temperature of the heating filament via the
current to soften the glass. The softening point is the appropriate current value that can soften
the glass. Different types of heating filaments and glass vary in softening points. The device is
equipped with 3 types of heating filaments and 6 types of glass. Once the heating filament or
different types of glass are replaced, it is necessary to test the softening point and record it.
Note!
Once the heating filament or different types of glass are replaced, a softening point test
is required!
When the microelectrode used in vivo microinjection, RWD recommends the model of
heating filaments is HF-2545B!
