Eppendorf epMotion 5073t NGS solution

Click2Contact

The epMotion 5073t NGS solution has everything required to automate the NGS library preparation of up to 24 samples and perform nucleic acid purification on the same workstation.

The product is equipped with two single-channel and one multi-channel dispensing tools to offer the flexibility to work with different plate or tube formats, and provides uninterrupted library preparation by automatically switching between the single- and multi-channel dispensing tools when needed.

The TipHolder 73 and Gripper Tower included in the epMotion 5073t NGS solution allow for the storage of up to 5 x 96 tips on the deck to increase tip availability. An optional Reservoir Rack Module NGS can be added to store consumables and NGS reagents on one deck position and, when combined with the Reservoir Rack Module Tips, further increases tip capacity to enable complex methods to be run on the system with minimal user intervention.

All labware, tips and liquid levels are checked prior to each run by the contact-free optical sensor for safe operation, and an optional UV lamp and HEPA filter are available to provide clean air conditions.

All systems with serial number 7000 or higher now come with integrated LED lights in the CleanCap hood to illuminate the deck and provide users with a visual signal on the status of the device so they can see from afar if the system is idle, running or has finished a run. The systems also have an improved tip ejector to speed up pipetting steps for shorter run times with certain applications.

The epMotion 5073t NGS solution has an integrated Eppendorf ThermoMixer for mixing of magnetic beads and a thermal module for temperature incubations to enable upstream nucleic acid purification on the same platform.

NGS library preparation and nucleic acid purification methods can be easily designed, optimised and implemented using the intuitive interface of the epBlue software on the MultiCon PC (15.6″ screen) controller.
