Eppendorf Research^® 3 neo

It's your pipette, your way

Research 3 neo pipettes are designed to give you options, allowing for a pipetting experience tailored to your needs. With changeable volume setting speeds, temporary adjustment settings, the universal tip cone system and removable labelling rings, you can experience precision and efficiency that is powered by choice.

Adjust it! Volume gear shift
Use the innovative volume gear shift to effortlessly switch between two volume adjustment speeds. Choose the 'fast' speed to accelerate your pipette volume changes by up to 40 %*. Alternatively, choose the 'easy' speed to reduce the operational force required, alleviating muscular fatigue and allowing for easy, one-handed volume changes.
*Time-saving is dependent on the pipette model used.

Modify it! Temporary liquid type adjustment
Customize your pipette settings to ensure accuracy and precision in every experiment. The Research 3 neo mechanical pipettes can be temporarily adjusted for different non-aqueous liquids, tip geometries, reverse pipetting, or your lab's altitude without changing the calibration settings. This adaptability helps you tailor your pipette to your specific liquid handling needs.

Attach it! Designed for epT.I.P.S.^® pipette tips but compatible with others
Always remember that the tip is an integral part of your pipetting system and experience. Research 3 neo pipettes and epT.I.P.S. pipette tips are designed to work in perfect unison, ensuring high precision and accuracy. With our extensive range of tip variants and certified purity grades, our consumables are tailored to meet diverse requirements in today's labs. Nevertheless, the open cone system of our Research 3 pipettes also allows you to use a variety of other compatible tips.

A pipette you can count on

You're in safe hands with the Eppendorf Research 3 pipettes. This next generation of mechanical pipettes is crafted with the same excellence in liquid handling that has made our pipettes so well-loved in labs all around the world.

Lock it! With the new volume lock feature
Eppendorf Research 3 neo pipettes feature a volume lock: Just set your desired volume into place, and switch the lock to prevent any unintended volume changes during pipetting.

Crafted for liquid handling excellence
Undergoing an extensive testing process, plus featuring single-cast housings and only highly durable quality materials, these pipettes are built with longevity, accuracy, and reliability in mind.
When used in combination with our high-quality epT.I.P.S. pipette tips, reduced-force tip
attachment and ejection with complete sealing can be achieved. With the Eppendorf air-cushion pipetting system, you can count on our combination of maximum precision, accuracy, and reproducibility beyond ISO 8655 requirements.

Effortless cleaning and maintenance
Full autoclavability without disassembly, along with high resistance to UV, hydrogen peroxide and other chemicals transforms routine cleaning of our Research 3 neo pipettes into a walk in the park. Even deep cleaning is simplified with the easy disassembly of lower parts. And when reassembling the pipette after deep cleaning, serial number prints on both upper and lower parts ensure an easy and error-free reassembly. Additionally, a wide range of original spare parts is available to expedite repairs.

Wave goodbye to muscular strain and fatigue

Streamline your pipetting and wave goodbye to muscular strain. Eppendorf Research 3 neo pipettes are light on hands, but heavy on precision, offering smoother operation than ever before.

New operating concept and ergonomic design
Sail through long hours in the lab with a pipette that is made for your hands. Research 3 neo pipettes boast our perfectly balanced, organic, and lightweight design. Plus, with the ergonomic fingerhook and 4-digit volume display with magnifying glass, you can find your best and most comfortable fit.
With a pipetting button that includes an integrated volume adjustment function and features a large surface area, the Research 3 neo has a reduced distance from the hand rest to the top of the pipette button. This design improves ease and comfort, especially for smaller hands, minimizing thumb and hand strain when aspirating and dispensing liquids for prolonged periods.

Reduced tip attachment and ejection forces
All Eppendorf Research 3 neo pipettes feature spring-loaded tip cones for an effortless tip fit. The integrated haptic feedback allows for easy tip attachment with a gentle push-down,
minimizing attachment and ejection forces while guaranteeing a safe and reproducible tip fit.

Introducing more sustainable pipetting

Sustainability is an important aspect of our production practices, and the Research 3 neo pipette is no exception to this. We are leading by example with ISO 14001 certification, ACT^® labels as well as smaller, recyclable and nearly plastic-free packaging.

Eco-friendly pipette production – independently validated
As part of our commitment to reducing the environmental impact of laboratory work, Eppendorf Research 3 neo mechanical pipettes are engineered with quality, longevity, and repairability in mind. Sustainability is a key aspect of our pipette production. Our manufactory is ISO 14001 certified, reflecting a strong Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) policy. Located in Hamburg, Germany, our pipette manufactory is powered entirely by renewable energy and meets the high EU standards for labor and environmental practices.
Like many other Eppendorf products, our new Research 3 neo pipettes are ACT^® labeled. This environmental impact factor label is published by the independent My Green Lab^® non-profit organization. ACT labels promote accountability, consistency, and transparency throughout the complete product lifecycle, highlighting our commitment to eco-friendly production and products.

Shipped in smaller, recyclable packaging to reduce supply chain emissions
Research 3 pipettes come in packs made of 100 % cardboard which consists of 95 % recycled material. To enhance the recyclability of our pipette packaging, our packaging engineers have avoided composite materials and focused on easy-to-separate components. Compared to our previous pipette packaging, we have reduced the box size by more than 10 % , which helps lower logistics-related CO₂ emissions in your supply chain. Additionally, prints/ink usage on the pack and plastic wrapping* has been minimized, further reducing the ecological packaging footprint of your pipette.
* 2, 5 and 10 mL pipettes still include PE-LD bags for spare filters and tips

Compatible with biobased pipette tips
Research 3 pipettes are, of course, also compatible with our innovative epT.I.P.S. BioBased pipette tips. Made from 100 % biobased polypropylene according to the mass balance approach, these tips decouple single-use consumables from fossil resources, significantly reducing the product-related carbon footprint, without compromising on quality, purity or pipetting performance. With every Eppendorf Research 3 pipette system pack from 10 µL up to 1 mL, you will receive a pipette tip box with epT.I.P.S. pipette tips in standard Eppendorf Quality and a Reload with sterile ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S.^®BioBased!

Disposal of packaging and the pipette at the end of its lifecycle
The packaging of Eppendorf Research 3 pipettes primarily contains cardboard. Plastic foil is limited to a small plastic bag for filters, as well as the foliation for pipette tip boxes included. Our Research 3 pipette packaging cardboard consists of approx. 95 % recycling material. Please support the global sustainability initiative of recycling valuable raw material by collecting the cardboard and disposing of it in the appropriate collection container at your organization. For the tip box wrapping foils made of LD-PE, we recommend to select a dedicated recycling partner where PE material can be recycled.

Please unpack the pipette and tip boxes outside the laboratory area to prevent contamination of the pack components. By doing so, the packaging can be easily recycled through regular recycling channels, avoiding the need for energy-intensive and costly decontamination processes.

Eppendorf pipettes and dispensers are designed for many years of use – should the need arise to dispose of a pipette however, please note that it may potentially be contaminated. Therefore, recycling may be challenging. Please contact your local biosafety officer and/or your local waste management. In many countries, this waste must be burned due to legal restrictions. We recommend you to work with a certified local recycling partner with experience in lab waste however to examine your options.

Check with your local recycling partner for any special instructions or documentation requirements. You can also use the Eppendorf decontamination form sheet as a guide.
