MX1641 Motorised and Manual 4-axis Manipulator

Base-mounted manual and motorised multi-axis micromanipulator for life science   

MX1641 Series Micromanipulator   

With spring-loaded lead screws ensure drift-free operation, the MX1641 series crossed roller micromanipulator is ideal for introductory level research and training.

The 40 TPI screw drive delivers smooth motion in the X, Y and Z axes, while the motorised probe axis can be adjusted to the desired angle anywhere between 0 and 180°. The micromanipulator is supplied with Siskiyou's MXC-45 holder with built-in rotational stop to allow for easy pipette replacement.

Using Siskiyou e or MC2010 closed loop controllers, the MX1641 can deliver 0.2 µm and 0.1 µm resolution respectively. Repeated or relative positioning can be achieved by using a DR1000 that supplies a digital readout of the motor's encoder output.

All cables are shielded to ensure noise-free operation during sensitive electrophysiology experiments.

Siskiyou Corporation has been producing popular laboratory mechanicals for over 40 years; designing from the outset with quality and flexibility in mind.

Siskiyou do not aim at single disciplines, such as Photonics or Life Sciences, but craft their products to provide end users with the modular tools for constructing systems that are only limited by their imagination.

These concepts have ensured Siskiyou components outperform and outlast competitive products.
