New epMotion M5073 and P5073

8 Nov 2012

Product news

Two new additions to Eppendorf’s extensive range of automated pipetting systems are uniquely tailored for PCR setup and nucleic acid purification, yet retain the flexibility that allows their use as open systems for diverse automated liquid handling applications. The new epMotion® P5073 and M5073 workstations automate and simplify what are traditionally complex, labor-intensive pipetting tasks, saving time and improving the reliability and reproducibility of results.

The epMotion M5073 fully automates the process of DNA purification, providing reproducibility with high yield and purity. Setup time is short and elution volumes as low as 25 µL for high concentrations can be used. Eppendorf’s MagSep reagent kits are specifically designed for use with the epMotion M5073. These ready to use reagents supplied in a specific tray eliminate the need for manual buffer handling and require only room temperature storage. Per run 1 to 24 samples can be extracted for nucleic acid from a variety of sources, such as blood, tissue, cells, bacteria or viruses.

The epMotion P5073 helps streamline and automate the whole PCR setup workflow in 96 or 384 well formats. Four different, step-by-step guided PCR assistants are available to facilitate working with normalization, dilution, setup reactions and composing mastermixes.

Both the epMotion P5073 and epMotion M5073 have 6 SBS positions and are installed with the new Eppendorf EasyCon control panel with large color touch screen for optimum ease-of-use. An Eppendorf CleanCap option minimizes contamination risks with the use of a HEPA filter and UV lamp.

MicroplatesMicroplates are multi-well plates used to increase the throughput of biological investigations. The number of wells microplates contain can range from 6 to 3243 wells, with the 96-well format being the most commonly used. Microplates can come tailored for a range of applications including cell culture, PCR, filtration, storage, non-binding surface, protein crystallization, as well as pre-coated, deep well and normal Standard microplates. Additionally, options for microplate colors include clear , black, white or black with clear bottom and white with clear bottom for absorbance microplate reader applications.
