WARNING: GLASS PIPETTE SHOULD BE SECURED TIGHTLY BEFORE
MAKING INJECTIONS.
1. The pipette holder has a silver wire that must be inserted into the glass
micropipette. The wire must be long enough to make contact with the substance
to be injected. This wire is intentionally left longer than most pipettes to allow for
different lengths. Trim the wire to the preferred length.

2. The Microelectrode Interface Cable has two 2 mm male pin connectors.
