SOS - Screw-Actuated Oil Syringe Overview

The SOS is a screw actuated syringe for the precise transfer and injection 

of  spermatozoa.  By  using  oil  (which  has  very  low  compressibility)  to 

transfer the movement of the control knob to the specimen, accurate 

aspiration and injection can be easily achieved.
