Dual-Drive Precision Control
Operate with confidence using coarse and fine adjustment drives for delicate and intuitive sample manipulation, ensuring precise positioning every time.
Reliable, Low-Maintenance Performance
Engineered for durability, the CellTram 4m series delivers dependable operation over the long term with minimal maintenance needs.
Oil-Free, Non-Hydraulic Operation (Air)
Experience precise cell manipulation and injection without the need for hydraulic oil. The non-hydraulic system ensures contamination-free operation and straightforward handling.
Adjustable Air Volume & Injection Control (Air)
A built-in piston position scale allows you to set the air volume and fine-tune injection characteristics to match your exact experimental requirements.
Streamlined Oil Filling (Oil)
The improved oil-filling system minimizes interruptions during operation, enabling smoother transitions and greater efficiency in daily lab routines.
