Until 15 January 2013, young researchers working in Europe who are not older than 35 years are invited to apply for the Eppendorf Award for Young European Investigators. This highly prestigious prize was first established in 1995. It acknowledges outstanding contributions to biomedical research in Europe based on methods of molecular biology, including novel analytical concepts.

The US scientist, Marlene R. Cohen Ph.D., Assistant Professor in the Department of Neuroscience and the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition at the University of Pittsburgh has won the 2012 Eppendorf & Science Prize for Neurobiology. Dr. Cohen uses the response of groups of visual neurons to estimate which part of the visual world an animal is paying attention to at any given moment. Her approach provides a new way to study how our mental activity affects what we perceive and how cognitive processes such as attention are controlled.

In a well-received report in Science from 2008, Dr. Andrew Holt and his group from the University of Alberta, Canada, described how chemicals used as manufacturing additives can substantially inhibit enzymatic assays and binding studies by leaching into samples from plastic consumables. Eppendorf recently visited Dr. Holt’s pharmacology lab with a film crew to ask him how experimental data can be affected and what he recommends to other scientists to ensure unaffected and reproducible results.

Until 15th January 2012, young researchers working in Europe who are not older than 35 years are invited to apply for the Eppendorf Award for Young European Investigators which is endowed with 15,000 Euro.

The Portuguese scientist, Tiago Branco M.D., Ph.D., Postdoctoral Research Fellow at University College London has won the 2011 Eppendorf & Science Prize for Neurobiology for his research on dendrites. His work shows how dendrites discriminate temporal input sequences and apply different integration rules depending on input location. These findings give insight on how the brain performs the computations that underlie behavior, and suggest that even single neurons can solve complex computational tasks.

The Eppendorf PiezoXpert® is designed for piezo-assisted manipulation or microinjection techniques. Digital programmable parameter setting allows the user to perforate cell membranes with the utmost accuracy and reproducibility, improving productivity and yields for many microinjection procedures in transgenics, evelopmental biology, and other cell biology applications.

Combining accuracy, sensitivity and guided operation, the new Eppendorf BioSpectrometer® offers outstanding flexibility in a small, robust instrument. Designed for a wide range of routine and complex applications in genomics, proteomics, cell biology and biochemistry, two versions are available: BioSpectrometer basic and BioSpectrometer kinetic which features a temperature-controlled cuvette holder.

As the primary European forum for biotechnology and life science professionals, BIOTECHNICA offers the perfect platform for launching the new BioSpectrometer by Eppendorf to the market. As a further innovation, Eppendorf will be introducing its PiezoXpert® in Hanover, which has been developed for piezo-supported manipulation or microinjection procedures.

Eppendorf’s epMotion® GxP solution includes an automated pipetting system, epBlue™ GxP software and certificates, plus dedicated certification and validation services (like IQ/OQ and user trainings).

The detection of bacteria that are pathogenic to humans such as E.coli always places particular demands on laboratory processes. Safety is the key factor here. This means the safety of the employees who handle and analyze the samples as well as safe and reliable results. After all, the treatment of patients depends on the results, therefore utmost care must be taken.

This year’s Nobel Prize in Medicine is unique in Nobel Prize history, being the first to be awarded in the area of reproduction. British scientist Robert G. Edwards receives the award for his pioneering achievements in human in vitro fertilization (IVF). Together with his colleague Dr Patrick Steptoe (died 1988), a gynaecologist, he developed the technique of fertilizing human oocytes outside the body before implantation in the womb. They were the pioneers for further developments such as Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), where a single sperm is microinjected directly into the oocyte.

Eppendorf’s refrigerated 18 and 24-place microcentrifuges add coolness to Eppendorf’s Silence | Speed | Simplicity™ philosophy for centrifugation. With a small footprint, exceptionally quiet operation and a FastTemp function for quick pre-cooling, Centrifuges 5418 R and 5424 R set new standards for refrigerated microcentrifuges.

Eppendorf launches new Protein LoBind Deepwell Plate 96/2000 µl and extends the Eppendorf LoBind product portfolio to 96-well high volume plate formats. The unique format flexibility enables customers to easily up-scale their experiments and achieve the same high quality results.

Besides precision and accuracy, ergonomic handling is particularly important when pipetting. If a lot of strength needs to be used, energy reserves will be used up much quicker. This is especially true for longer pipetting series. With electronic piston stroke, low weight and intuitive user guidance, electronic pipettes like the Eppendorf Xplorer® minimize user strain. The perfect balance and the finger rest guarantee a position that is particularly easy on the joints.
