Eppendorf introduced the new Reference 2 pipette to its range of liquid handling instruments. The Eppendorf Reference 2 is the successor to the Reference pipette, and features a new design, reduced weight and operating forces and multi-channel versions. The Eppendorf Reference 2 ensures complete traceability through the use of an embedded RFID chip containing all the instrument’s relevant data, including serial number and certificate of conformity. Furthermore, a serial number printed on multiple components of the pipette prevents parts from being mixed up and indicates if one of the volume defining parts has been exchanged. Vital reproducibility is guaranteed by the channel indicator incorporated into the multi-channel version of the Eppendorf Reference 2. This promises a continuously identical pipette alignment during the work process. The pipette also provides highly flexible use, with the ability to remove single cones, and easy maintenance. The pipette achieves quick tip ejection with active aerosol reduction, and reduces the possibility of repetitive strain injury by eliminating the need to move your thumb sideways.
