Ergonomic Design Offers Better Pipetting

‘Simply better pipetting’ – at Analytica 2010, Eppendorf presented a novel product innovation, the new electronic pipette Eppendorf Xplorer®. The intuitive user concept and ergonomic design set new standards for simplicity, precision and reproducibility. During development of the Eppendorf Xplorer, the focus was on the user who is handling complex or lengthy pipetting processes. The Eppendorf Xplorer thus provides precisely adjustable parameters, maximally reproducible results and fatigue-free pipetting.

The new refrigerated centrifuges 5418 R and 5424 R are 18 sample and 24 sample models for tubes of 0.2ml up to 2.0ml in volume (depending on the instrument). The Fast Temp function ensures that the samples reach the desired temperature as quickly as possible. 4ºC are guaranteed at maximum speed (21,130 x g) in the 5424 R. Continuous refrigeration prevents sample warming even after completion of the centrifugation run. In accordance with Eppendorf’s philosophy of Silence, Speed, SimplicityTM, the refrigerated centrifuges are equipped with the two familiar keys for simple and intuitive operation. Even when used without the rotor lid, these centrifuges are incredibly quiet. Their small footprint and low operating height ensure that they will find a space in every laboratory.

Eppendorf Eporator®, new on the market, offers a fast, simple and safe setting for the transformation of bacteria, yeast and other micro-organisms with DNA/RNA. The results are highly reproducible and, in comparison with chemical methods, electroporation delivers a considerably higher transformation efficiency. epBlue ID represents the new version of PC software for control of the automated pipetting system epMotion. epBlue

ID encompasses a novel barcode management function for the purpose of secure sample tracking.
