Fellow wormbreeders-
Is anyone using compressed air instead of nitrogen for microinjection?
Please let me know-

Several customers use our microINJECTOR System with compressed
air instead of a nitrogen tank. It works just as well, as long as:
1) Your compressed air source is at a significantly higher pressure
than you ever plan to inject at (you will want it to be at least 80
psi).
2) The air is relatively clean (free of dirt, oil, and excessive moisture
that could damage the regulator). An appropriate filter and/or trap
will take care of that.
