Multichannel Pipettes for 384-Well Plates

Eppendorf’s 16- and 24-channel pipettes can handle entire columns and rows of a 384-well plate in one step.

Eppendorf’s 16- and 24-channel pipettes can handle entire columns and rows of a 384-well plate in one step. An entire plate can be managed manually within a minute, and up to 24 reactions may be started and stopped simultaneously, according to the company.

The pipettes come with epT.I.P.S. 384 and ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. 384 systems for improved security and comfort. The SOFTattach technology uses elastic forming grooves that contribute to a precise tip fit and seal. The company states that tip attachment forces are reduced by up to an additional 40% per tip. The system’s fine tip shape and coaxiality makes maneuvering samples into the tiny wells of a 384-well plate secure. The pipettes are available as both mechanical and electronic.
