Move It® Adjustable Tip Spacing Pipettes

Do you frequently transfer samples between different vessel formats, such as between tubes and plates, and strive for more efficient and safe solutions? The new adjustable tip spacing pipette Move It accelerates and simplifies synchronous pipetting of a series of samples. A unique design without tubing connections results in increased precision and durability as well as user and sample safety.

Double your pipetting performance
Eppendorf redefined adjustable tip spacing pipettes from scratch according to their premium standards. Move It is the result of customer requests for an efficient and safe solution for synchronous pipetting of a series of samples between different vessel formats, such as between tubes and plates. What is unique about the new Move It? It can do this without any tubing connections between cone and piston-cylinder system. This significantly enhances pipetting performance: Fewer movable, often fragile parts, means more precision and durability. Move It is autoclavable which increases user and sample safety.

One pipette – Many formats
Move It adjustable tip spacing multi-channel pipettes significantly accelerate and simplify the workflow when frequent format changes are required. Let’s get ready to move a series of samples synchronously between different vessel formats, such as between tubes and plates. The operating time is significantly less than when using single-channel pipettes. For microplates, tubes, and agarose gels, the tip spacing can be freely selected between 4.5 and 33 mm depending on the model.

Easy and fast tip spacing adjustment
Source and destination formats can be adjusted and locked with the format limiter which quickly switches forward and backward within the set formats. This means less concentration is required when setting the next pipetting step, saving valuable time. The format adjustment itself is carried out manually with an adjustment knob which allows for a quicker adjustment than via a motor. The format adjustment process is designed to allow the user to always maintain a relaxed body and hand position.

Tubeless system for reliability and safety
The Eppendorf way: Move It adjustable tip spacing multi-channel pipettes work without any tubing connections between cone and piston-cylinder system. This design offers special advantages compared with conventional instruments:

• Potential problems caused by the presence of tubing, such as porosity and leaks, are not an issue here. Instead, fewer moving parts in Move It multi-channel pipettes increase precision and durability
• By eliminating tubing, the size of the air cushions is reduced to a minimum which has an additional positive effect on precision and accuracy
• Move It can be autoclaved (Research plus fully, Xplorer plus lower part only) which additionally increases user and sample-safety

Rotatable pipette head – 360°
An ergonomic optimization of your workplace can help to make workflows more streamlined. As Move It adjustable tip spacing multi-channel pipettes are designed without internal tubes, the pipette head is 360° rotatable. The user benefits from comfortable readability of the display. This not only supports an ergonomic and relaxed body posture. At the same time, it ensures fast identification of all parameters saving valuable time at the bench.

Optimal balance for a relaxed hand
Furthermore, Move It adjustable pipettes can help minimize hand and body fatigue. Encouraged by a study that showed that a good balance is more important to the user than the overall weight, Eppendorf product engineers have developed a special design concept. They replaced some inner parts of the pipette with metal parts. The result is a well-balanced and ergonomic pipette. It ensures that tips and samples are clearly visible at all times without great physical effort.

Move It selection guide
With the selection guide, it is possible to choose the right pipette for every application at a glance. Select source and destination format according to your application and then select the channel and volume-variant best suited to your application. Each variant is available as mechanical Research plus or electronic Xplorer plus pipette.

Additional benefits with the Xplorer plus Move It variants
Compared to mechanical pipettes, electronic pipettes have a number of advantages in many applications. The most important benefits of using an electronic pipette are: better ergonomics by requiring almost no operating forces, a higher precision and reproducibility and an additional efficiency gain due to various operating modes (such as e.g. pipetting and dispensing with only one tool). Furthermore, electronic instruments are the basis for digital lab solutions supporting you with choosing settings for different liquid types, collaborating across the lab or documenting steps. With the Eppendorf Pipette Software Update Tool you can easily update your electronic pipette and stay up to date with the latest software improvements and new features!
