Eppendorf centrifuga 5804

Eppendorf Model 5804R Multipurpose Centrifuges feature powerful, maintenance-free motors, and they accommodate a variety of rotors for unparalleled application versatility. They are three centrifuges in one: a high capacity general purpose centrifuge for cell harvesting; a high-speed centrifuge for separating cell lysates; and a micro centrifuge for DNA precipitations.Product features Interchangeable swing-bucket and high-speed fixed-angle rotors spin microcentrifuge tubes, popular glass and plastic tubes, microplates, and blood collection tubes Variable speed, maintenance-free motor spins up to 14,000 rpm, 20,800 x g Low profile 11-inch access height for easy sample loading Automatic rotor recognition senses rotor type to set maximum allowable speed-ensures safety.

Eppendorf centrifuga 5415R

Centrifuge 5415 R enables rapid and reliable refrigerated centrifugation in a temperature range between 0 °C and 40 °C. Temperature sensitive samples are maintained safely at 4 °C, even at maximumn speed. With the aid of the Fast Cool function, an almost chilly 4 °C can be attained within a mere 16 minutes. It has the indestructible maintenance-free drive, which requiresonly 13 seconds to bring the rotor to the maximum speed of 13,200 rpm (max. rcf: 16,110 x g).

Eppendorf R epMotion T 5070 Workstation

The Eppendorf epMotion 5070 workstation enables fast and reproducible liquid handling by way of pipetting, dispensing, and other dispensing variants. With its great similarity to manual pipettes and to the familiar manual work method, pipetting sequences and protocols previously carried out manually can now be transferred quickly and easily to the epMotion 5070 workstation. Tried and true pipetting procedures have been maintained and standard techniques are quickly and easily transferred. Extensive experience with other liquid handling platforms and long training times are not needed.Valuable bench space is saved by using the integrated control panel instead of a PC. Operate the workstation using the keyboard of the connected control panel. The connected mouse enables free movement of the cursor over the integrated screen. Thus, an almost-intuitive operation with greater flexibility in the application is made possible. The user is led step by step through the software and prompted to carry out the necessary actions.

The following steps take place fully automatically following the insertion of the dispensing tool: the dispensing tool attaches the pipette tip; the liquid to be isolated is taken up from a supply and dispensed into one or more target tubes. Normally, the dispensing is concluded following the ejection of the pipette tip. Optical sensors control and ensure the reliability of the procedure:

• Testing of liquid quantities
• Testing of the existing pipette tip type with the programming
• Testing of the existing tubes with the programming

The epMotion 5070 workstation enables quick filling of plates in the 384-well scale. It is also possible to fill an MTP 384-well from other formats (eg, 4 x MTP 96-well).
