Eppendorf AG were present at BIOTECHNICA this year, focusing on the topic “Take Good Care of Your Cells”. This year’s novel products include the Centrifuge 5920R, the ultra-deep freezer CryoCube F570, the Multipette E3/E3x (an electronic hand dispenser) as well as the BioFlo 320 from the area of Bioprocessing.

For almost 70 years, innovative technologies and premium products by Eppendorf have contributed to improving work processes in laboratories and research facilities around the world. The product portfolio includes highly reliable, long-lasting instruments, matching consumables and tailored accessories to make the daily laboratory routine easier and at the same time more efficient and reproducible.

"We have gained a deep understanding of different laboratory workflows through our close and long-established relationship with the scientific community," says Dr. Tanja Musiol, Global Project Leader Workflows, Cell Handling Procedures and PhysioCare at Eppendorf AG. "To share this knowledge and deepen it further at the same time, we engaged in a personal and application-oriented dialog with our customers on-site at the BIOTECHNICA 2015 and talked about their requirements regarding processes and the daily routine at the laboratory."

For this purpose, Eppendorf built a glass laboratory at the exhibition and offered guided laboratory tours. During these tours, Eppendorf application experts explained typical applications and processes in the cell-biological/bioprocess laboratory. Day-to-day tasks were discussed with the customer directly on-site. During personal conversations, application-oriented approaches to gain reliable results were discussed with the experts.

This could mean optimization of the entire laboratory process or simply small changes to the daily routine at the laboratory. Their experts gave tips to avoid contaminations in the cell culture as well as advice on how to reach a homogeneous and reproducible cell growth. They also presented intelligent solutions that reduced the complexity in the daily laboratory work.

Eppendorf Research® pro Single and Multi-channel pipettes

Eppendorf

The new electronic pipette Research pro is ideal for all liquid handling jobs in the lab.The clear arrangement of buttons for all operating tasks, the easy-to-follow display and the overall design of the pipette are the product of our original aim of developing an ergonomically outstanding pipette which is ideal for all applications. Work in the lab is now so much easier thanks to various different dispensing techniques, including Pipetting, Dispensing, Reverse Pipetting and Diluting.Simple functions of the new Eppendorf Research® pro, such as Pipetting and Dispensing, are executed as per manual pipettes, which enables the pipettes to be used intuitively without any adverse effect on the variety of functions (programs).The entire spectrum of functions of the single-channel pipette is also available with the multi-channel version, which means that both models can be used without any additional training required.
