A reproducible technique for breaking glass micropipettes over a wide range of tip diameters.

Abstract:

:A new simple technique for the accurate modification of microelectrode and micropipette tips by breaking has been developed. The breaking is done by longitudinally inserting a micropipette into a larger previously broken pipette for stability and by applying a force on the micropipette to cause it to break. Tips will break cleanly at an easily predetermined diameter over a range of 3-200 micrometers.
