Has anyone tried this for C. elegans microinjections? A colleague is considering leaving it behind as she changes institutions. Is it usable for me?

Hi Kris,
I am probably a bit too late with this answer but here it is anyway.
In specifications of your injector it is mentioned that minimal injecting volume is 2.3 nanolitres.
I think that is roughly the volume of a whole adult C. elegans so you would probably explode the worm if you tried :-
Gonadal injection is definitely out of question with this equipment.
