epMotion® 5073
EppendorfThese automated pipetting systems are perfectly suited for PCR and qPCR setup, nucleic acid purification as well as low-throughput NGS library preparation yet they retain the flexibility for use as open platforms for diverse automated liquid handling applications. The epMotion 5073 series automates and simplifies traditionally complex, labor-intensive pipetting tasks, saving time and improving the reliability and reproducibility of results.
epMotion® 5075
EppendorfThe epMotion 5075 is the ideal solution for diverse liquid handling demands. It offers the same outstanding accuracy and precision as epMotion 5070 and 5073. The available options make the 5075 an excellent and flexible device for applications such as NGS library preparation, real-time PCR set-up, magnetic bead-based and filter-based purification, cell-based assays or any routine pipetting tasks.
