Outline of Final Research Achievements

For this research, we have successfully invented and operated electrically-induced bubble injector based on the directional micro-bubble flow. The novelty is the simultaneous perforation and transportation of reagent. Although the invasiveness is depends on the hardness of object, the device has succeeded in injection to plant tissue which used to be very difficult to be injected. This injection device has achieved to inject to the various hardness of material with higher dynamic range. This injection method can contribute to wide range of research fields such as gene therapy and direct gene injection to biological materials of variety hardness.
