Micromanipulator design at Sutter Instrument began in 1985 with the MP-85, a refined and extended Huxley- style micromanipulator. From that time on, the Company has continued to develop manipulators with stepper-motor drive mechanisms and ergonomic controllers that are adaptable to many different experimental designs and platforms. This design process has yielded six motorized manipulators, the industry standard MP-285, the MP-225, the narrow format MP-265, Xenoworks® microinjection manipulators and the four axis QUAD®, and the three-axis TRIO®.

Researchers performing complex experiments are now able to control multiple motorized manipulators with the MPC-200 controller. This controller is capable of operating any 2 of our three axis motorized manipulators and can be expanded to run 4 manipulators off a single ROE-200 input device. This highly flexible solution allows the user to add components to their system as needed.
