Secure the to lock the bottom half of the capillary to the heavy slider mechanism. Step 3: Executing the Pull
If the heater coil becomes brittle or fails to heat (Error E_99), it must be replaced. Environment:

The updated Narishige PC-10 manual includes the following new features:
For years, the PC-10 was the go-to tool for electrophysiologists. It was designed to replace older models like the and PB-7 , offering a more automated, dual-stage system. Secure the to lock the bottom half of
| Problem | Likely Cause | Fix | |--------|-------------|-----| | Glass melts but does not pull | Magnet power too low | Increase magnet power | | Glass breaks into pieces | Too much heat or too fast pull | Lower heater current or reduce weight | | Tip too long & floppy | Insufficient heat | Increase heater current or timer | | Pipette bent at tip | Uneven heating | Balance left/right heater currents | | No heating | Blown heater coil | Replace coil (order from Narishige) |
Narishige International (Narishige Group) still supports legacy products. While the PC-10 is discontinued, they often retain PDF archives. Heating Element: Platinum heating coil
The PC-10 uses a multi-stage process to soften and pull glass. Follow these steps to execute a standard 2-stage pull, which is ideal for creating patch-clamp pipettes or fine microinjection needles. Step 1: Pre-Operational Setup
To avoid burning out the nichrome coil, perform a test pull to find the minimum heat required to melt the glass: Load a standard capillary tube. Set the heater dial to a low value (e.g., 50).
Since the PC-10 was discontinued, Narishige has moved to the (digital, programmable). However, you can adapt parts of the PC-100 manual to understand your PC-10. The heating principles are similar, but the control logic is entirely different.
