Wave Goodbye to
Inaccurate Measurements
A
&D recently developed the sinewave vibro viscometer SV series
with tuning-fork vibration method,
which promises high accuracy and
a wide measurement range without
replacing the sensor plates.
The SV series has two thin sensor
plates that are driven with electro
magnetic force at the same frequency
by vibrating at constant sine-wave
v
ibration in reverse phase like a tuning
fork.

ay goodbye to hours of pipetting
with the new epMotion®. The
epMotion P5073 is a tailored workstation for automated PCR set-up in 96 or
384 plate formats. It is an open platform
that simplifies all routine pipetting
tasks. Whether it is PCR set-up or
general liquid handling, the automation
yields reliable and reproducible results
with more precision and safety.
The EasyCon control panel and PCR
assistant software provides simple operation by guiding one through various
preparations step-by-step. It is a flexible
system for automating time-consuming
and complex pipetting procedures with
the epBlue software, making many
routine liquid handling tasks easier
than ever. The pipetting procedure is
more precise, reproducible and fully
standardised, making the workplace
safer and more ergonomic. The P5073 is

delivered with all accessories for preparing PCR samples. Only consumables
need to be ordered separately.
The easy-to-use epMotion lends
itself to most laboratory environments.
The epBlue software can be learned in
just one morning and will be up and
running protocols that same afternoon.
These systems cover a pipetting range
of 1 to 1000µl. The accuracy of Eppendorf pipetting technology enables usage
of smaller reaction volumes. The unit
can be ordered with an optional UV
lamp and HEPA filter. ⚛

between the sensor plates and the
sample fluid.
The coefficient of viscosity is obtained
by the correlation between the driving
electric current and the magnitude of
viscidity.
The electromagnetic drive controls
the vibration of the sensor plates to
maintain a constant amplitude of 1mm
and a constant frequency of 30Hz.
The driving electric current, which is
an excited force, will be detected as
the magnitude of viscidity produced
