The PiezoDrill is a microinjection system developed for procedures such as intracytaplasma sperm injection (ICSI), nuclear transfer, and other transgenic and assisted reproductive techinques. It produces mechanical pulses that travel longitudinally along the pipette and vibrate the tip. The tip vibrations aid in cutting through the zona pellucida and the oolemma. This system includes the actuator, electronic amplifier, and footswitch. The actuator mounts in any micromanipulator by clamping its 4 mm diameter shaft, and a holder on one end of the shaft accepts standard glass pipettes that have been pulled and shaped for microinjection.
