Japan recently developed a nano tube ultra-micropipette

Release date: 2007-08-07

Recently, a groundbreaking development in micro-pipette technology has emerged from Japan. A collaborative effort between the Japan Industrial Technology Research Institute, Nagoya University, and Tohoku University has led to the creation of an ultra-micropipette using organic nanotubes. This innovative tool is capable of dispensing liquid volumes as small as one trillionth of a milliliter, opening up new possibilities in precision fluid handling.

The organic nanotubes used in this system are composed of carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen molecules. They have an inner diameter of 50 nanometers and a length of 10 micrometers. These nanotubes can be attached to the tip of a glass micropipette with an internal diameter of 1800 nanometers, forming a highly advanced ultra-micropipette. This device is expected to revolutionize medical and biological research by enabling precise delivery or extraction of substances at the cellular level.

One of the key features of this technology is its ability to control the amount of liquid being injected by adjusting the voltage applied. This method allows for an accuracy that is tens of thousands of times greater than traditional micropipettes, making it ideal for delicate experiments where even the smallest volume matters. Researchers believe this could significantly enhance procedures such as gene editing, drug delivery, and cell manipulation.

With this advancement, scientists now have a powerful tool to explore the microscopic world with unprecedented precision. As research continues, we may soon see this technology integrated into a wide range of applications, from medical diagnostics to cutting-edge biotechnology.
