Hamilton Syringe

A Hamilton syringe is a precision liquid-handling instrument used to measure and transfer small, reproducible volumes, making it valuable for biological experiments and analytical research. Its calibrated barrel and closely fitted plunger create controlled suction and dispensing as the plunger moves, while interchangeable or fixed needles support different sample types and delivery tasks; gas-tight models also limit vapor loss. Researchers use Hamilton syringes for sample preparation, chromatography, microinjection, and accurate reagent handling, where minimizing volume variation improves experimental consistency, quantitative analysis, and reproducibility.

The Stemgent Dox Inducible Mouse TF Lentivirus Set can reprogram mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) to induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Here we demonstrate the protocol for DOX-inducible expression of mouse reprogramming transcription factors Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc to generate iPS colonies that express common mES pluripotency markers.
