Colour-Coded and Eco-Friendly Trays

Eppendorf AG has upgraded epT.I.P.S. Motion, offering new colour-coded trays for instant identification of tip volume, and introducing eco-friendly Reload trays with 40% less packaging. Using an Eppendorf epMotion automated pipetting system streamlines repetitive liquid handling protocols, reduces human error and facilitates sample tracking. Now, new epT.I.P.S. Motion make automation even simpler and samples even safer. Single-use boxes with colourcoded trays provide easy visual identification of the three tip sizes: 50μl, 300μl and 1,000μl, so that the correct volume can be quickly selected. Each is automatically recognised by the epMotion optical sensor and all sizes are available in multiple purity grades, with or without filter. Furthermore, delivered in a PET blister packaging with sealed cap, the new Reload trays are an environmentally-friendly development. The optional TipHolder Adapter replaces the normal tip box component, reducing waste by up to 40%. According to Dr Oliver Franz, Executive Director Portfolio Management Automation & PCR: “The revolutionary Eppendorf epMotion transforms applications such as PCR set-up, nucleic acid purification and a wide range of routine pipetting tasks in research and pharmaceutical laboratories. The latest epT.I.P.S. Motion racks demonstrate our commitment to making automation even more intuitive and user-friendly with the new colourcoded racks, while the Reload system reduces the environmental impact of the product packaging.”
