Eppendorf Advantage highlights ‘Gentle & Easy’ centrifugation and sample preparation

The latest Eppendorf Advantage global promotion features special 5702/5702 R centrifuge Bonus Packs at attractive prices, plus a range of country-specific offers on premium quality products such as MixMate and Multipette stream/Xstream, from 1 April to 30 June 2007.

Albrecht Wiener, Eppendorf UK Managing Director, comments, ‘With two global campaigns each year, Eppendorf Advantage is a high-profile programme through which we celebrate our innovative technologies and reward customers with special offers and bonus ep-points. The dedicated Advantage website acts as a portal to the unique local offers in all participating countries, as well as highlighting the global promotion of Eppendorf’s 5702/5702 R Bonus Packs at prices which are too good to miss. These centrifuges combine gentle treatment of sensitive clinical samples with outstanding ease of use – hence the ‘Gentle & Easy’ theme for the Spring promotion. Two Advantage offers are specific to the UK: a free 3-year warranty with MixMate and a free voucher worth £50 off Eppendorf products with Multipette stream or Xstream.’

The 5702 centrifuge Bonus Pack includes the A-4-38 swing-bucket rotor and four 85 ml round buckets, at a saving of 14 per cent, while the 5702 R (refrigerated) Bonus Pack includes a free A-4-38 swing-bucket rotor. With both packs customers can claim 100 extra ep-points and have the chance to win one of 50 Amazon vouchers worth £35.

In the UK, ‘Gentle & Easy’ Advantage offers focus on the amazingly versatile MixMate, providing gentle mixing of plates and tubes, and Multipette stream/Xstream, the stylish electronic dispensers which won a 2006 red dot product design award for ease of use and excellent ergonomics. Accommodating micro test tubes, PCR plates, deepwell plates and MTPs, MixMate is the only 3-in-1 format mixer uniting fast, perfectly controlled two-dimensional mixing with an integrated vortex function. Multipette stream and Xstream offer fast, reliable and precise dispensing, even handling high vapour pressure and high viscosity samples without the risk of cross-contamination.
