Eppendorf epMotion 96 semi-automated pipetting system

Click2Contact

The Eppendorf epMotion 96 is a semi-automated liquid handling system designed for fast and precise pipetting in 96- and 384-well plates. The device can pipette in the range of 0.5–300 µL using Eppendorf’s classic air-cushion electronic pipetting technology and is designed to be 12 times faster than manual 8-channel pipettes.

Controlled by the epMotion 96 App (iOS devices only), the device can be easily programmed using the easy-to-use software, convenient touchscreen and pre-set application modes for common, repetitive pipetting tasks like aspiration, dilution, multi-dispensing and reverse pipetting. A new sequential dispense function enables users to aspirate in one step and dispense varying amounts in several steps using only one column of tips, while the additional pre-wetting mode means high-vapour liquids are completely dispensed from the tip for more accurate pipetting.

The lifting table can be easily adjusted to support a variety of SBS-formatted labware, and these can be positioned and locked into place using the stage scale and locking handle. Users can also position tips above any column of wells in a 96- or 384-well plate using the 4.5 mm grid, which has recently been added to the 2-position slider of the epMotion 96.

The system can fit under a laminar flow hood and be easily moved between labs, making it suitable for a wide range of applications including plate reformatting, bead-based clean-ups for nucleic acid purification, cell seeding, cell-based assays, ELISA, biochemical assays and more.
