What is it about?
This paper presents a microrobotic system for fully automated zebrafish embryo injection and shows survival rate, success rate, and phenotypic rate, all about 100%.

Why is it important?
As an important embodiment of biomanipulation, injection of foreign materials (e.g., DNA, RNAi, sperm, protein, and drug compounds) into individual cells has significant implications in genetics, transgenics, assisted reproduction, and drug discovery.
Perspectives
The sample immobilization technique and microrobotic control method are applicable to other biological injection applications
