Which microinjection needles do you use? We have been using the following, but the company says they have been discontinued. Dagan Corporation FLG10 OD=1.00mm ID=0.75mm softens at 821°C 200 Pieces 10cm long prism glass capillaries 612-827-5959 [www.dagan.com](http://www.dagan.com) I think these needles have an internal filament but this is not indicated on the packaging. Perhaps there is an equivalent from the same company? Thanks, Morris ---

Hiya Morris, We’re using capillaries from FHC (Catalogue #30-31-0): Borosilicate (Pyrex) 1.2mm OD x 0.9mm ID/Fiber 100mm long Omega dot fiber for rapid fill They work quite well.
