Eppendorf – Your Expert and Advisor all Around the Laboratory at the BIOTECHNICA 2015

Eppendorf AG were present at BIOTECHNICA this year, focusing on the topic “Take Good Care of Your Cells”. This year’s novel products include the Centrifuge 5920R, the ultra-deep freezer CryoCube F570, the Multipette E3/E3x (an electronic hand dispenser) as well as the BioFlo 320 from the area of Bioprocessing.

For almost 70 years, innovative technologies and premium products by Eppendorf have contributed to improving work processes in laboratories and research facilities around the world. The product portfolio includes highly reliable, long-lasting instruments, matching consumables and tailored accessories to make the daily laboratory routine easier and at the same time more efficient and reproducible.

"We have gained a deep understanding of different laboratory workflows through our close and long-established relationship with the scientific community," says Dr. Tanja Musiol, Global Project Leader Workflows, Cell Handling Procedures and PhysioCare at Eppendorf AG. "To share this knowledge and deepen it further at the same time, we engaged in a personal and application-oriented dialog with our customers on-site at the BIOTECHNICA 2015 and talked about their requirements regarding processes and the daily routine at the laboratory."

For this purpose, Eppendorf built a glass laboratory at the exhibition and offered guided laboratory tours. During these tours, Eppendorf application experts explained typical applications and processes in the cell-biological/bioprocess laboratory. Day-to-day tasks were discussed with the customer directly on-site. During personal conversations, application-oriented approaches to gain reliable results were discussed with the experts.

This could mean optimization of the entire laboratory process or simply small changes to the daily routine at the laboratory. Their experts gave tips to avoid contaminations in the cell culture as well as advice on how to reach a homogeneous and reproducible cell growth. They also presented intelligent solutions that reduced the complexity in the daily laboratory work.
