U23-07 PiezoXpert (Piezoelectric micromanipulation and microinjection).

This equipment facilitates the piezo-assisted microinjection of sperm into the cytoplasm of eggs from different animal species (mouse, horse, sheep, porcine, etc.) that could be damaged by conventional ICSI given their elasticity, for this purpose and through the piezoelectric technique that It transforms electrical pulses into mechanical ones, the cell membrane is perforated with effectiveness and reproducibility, allowing the sperm to enter the cytoplasm of the oocyte without damaging it, improving the results of ICSI in animal models. Furthermore, this technique can be used in many processes such as the production of transgenic animals, IVF, developmental biology, and other applications in cell biology.
