Microinjection Techniques

Microinjection is a precise laboratory technique used to introduce substances like DNA, RNA, or proteins directly into individual cells using a fine glass needle. Under a microscope, scientists carefully insert the needle into the cell without damaging it, allowing controlled delivery of materials. This method is commonly used in genetic research, customizing cells, or creating genetically modified organisms. It enables scientists to study gene functions, develop new therapies, or modify DNA with targeted accuracy, making it a powerful tool in biology and medicine.
