FemtoJet
The Calibre Scientific electronic microinjectors, FemtoJet 4i and FemtoJet 4x, are the ideal tools for precise and reproducible injection of small volumes into both adherent and suspension cells.

Intuitive, Easy Operation
Simple, clearly arranged interface for fast setup and effortless handling. The Inject and Clean functions can be conveniently triggered directly on the device or via foot control for maximum efficiency.
Built-In Compressor Option
The FemtoJet 4i features a built-in compressor for convenient use with adherent and suspension cells, while the FemtoJet 4x requires external compression and provides continuous high-pressure injection for more demanding applications.
Seamless System Integration
Compatible with TransferMan 4r, InjectMan 4, and InjectMan NI 2, the FemtoJet series enables semi-automatic microinjection workflows.
Flexible Volume Range
From femtoliters to microliters, both models deliver precise control over a wide range of injection volumes. Programmable injection settings ensure consistent, reproducible results across experiments.
Reliable Pressure Supply
The FemtoJet 4i includes an independent, built-in compressor for easy, self-contained operation, while the FemtoJet 4x connects to an external pressure source for continuous high-pressure injections.
