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).

Nuclear localization of plasmid DNA
Distribution to the nucleus of red fluorescent-labelled (Cy3) plasmid DNA (merged fluorescence which resembles pink granules is cell nuclei with blue fluorescent DAPI staining into which Cy3-labeled plasmid DNA has been introduced).

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).
