What is it about?

This paper presents a fully automated system for zebrafish embryo injection, which overcomes the problems inherent in manual injection, such as human fatigue and large variations in success rates due to poor reproducibility.

Why is it important?

The technologies can be extended to other biological injection applications such as the injection of mouse embryos, Drosophila embryos, and C. elegans to enable high-throughput biological and pharmaceutical research.

Perspectives

Experimental results demonstrate that the system is reliable, operates at a high speed, and provides a high success rate and survival rate, capable of replacing or assisting a human operator for large-scale cell injection.
