Sixty years ago, Eppendorf introduced the world’s first industrially manufactured piston-stroke pipette. Launched in 1961, the Eppendorf “Marburg Pipette” already featured the same basic elements as those found in today’s labs: a spring-loaded piston that stops precisely at a set volume level and a removable pipette tip made of plastic.

Es war ein prägender Fortschritt für die Arbeit im Labor: Vor 60 Jahren brachte Eppendorf die erste industriell gefertigte Kolbenhubpipette auf den Markt. Damit waren die Zeiten, in denen Forscher gefährliche Substanzen mit dem Mund Pipettierten, endgültig vorbei. Zum Jubiläum blickt das Unternehmen zurück.

By re-designing the 400 L ULT freezer class, Eppendorf has equipped these devices with green cooling liquids and green insulation foam as well as better performance.

Life sciences company Eppendorf is presenting its research prize for the 26th time. The independent Award Jury chaired by Prof. Reinhard Jahn announced Dr. Tanmay Bharat, Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, University of Oxford, United Kingdom as the winner of the Eppendorf Award for European Investigators 2021.

Antibiotikaresistente Bakterien bedrohen weltweit jedes Jahr das Leben hunderttausender Menschen. Besonders gefährlich sind so genannte Biofilme. Ihnen hat ein junger Forscher aus Großbritannien den Kampf angesagt und ist für seine Forschung jetzt mit dem Eppendorf Award for Young European Investigators 2021 ausgezeichnet worden.

Nearly all of us have in one way or another come into contact with PCR tests in recent months. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) only requires a small DNA sample of the virus to detect an infection with Covid-19. In recent weeks and months, companies have successfully launched ever faster test kits — some of which we are presenting in this article.

Life science company Eppendorf introduced a new centrifuge designed to increase efficiency in the laboratory, Centrifuge 5910 Ri.

Four additional variants have been added to Eppendorf’s line-up of Move It adjustable tip spacing pipettes. With adjustable cone distances, these pipettes allow scientists to accelerate and simplify their workflow when pipetting between different vessel formats such as from tubes to plates.

By re-designing the Cryo Cube F570 (all voltages), Eppendorf now offers this standard-sized ultra-low temperature (ULT) freezer completely equipped with future-proof green cooling liquids and green insulation foam as well as better performance.

Eppendorf has developed the brand new Visionize pipette manager and is on its way towards digitalization in manual pipetting.
