Pyro-drive Jet Injector Actranza® lab. is a jet injector driven by the instantaneous power generated from pyro combustion. The high-speed stream of fluid ejected by Actranza® lab. penetrates skin, dispersing into intradermal tissue and introducing even large molecules into cells.

Product Profiles

  • Available for administration to mice and rats
  • Minimally invasive
  • Small, light and easy to operate

Drug distribution and gene expression

Drug Distribution

The liquid disperses over a wide area in intradermal tissue (India ink).

Efficient Delivery of Plasmid DNA into Cells

This shows that the fluorescently labeled (Cy3) plasmid DNA is efficiently taken up into the cells nucleus (pink fluorescent granules indicate the introduction of plasmid DNA into the cell nucleus).

GFP gene expression

Expression of the gene encoding Green Fluorescence Proteins (GFP) by injection.

LacZ gene expression

Expression of the gene encoding β-galactosidase by injection of plasmid DNA (blue areas are expression sites).
