Scientific topics and research projects from all over the world are combined and in each article experts are consulted in order to meet the needs of the demanding international readership. A special feature is the booklet-in-book concept: Eppendorf’s product-based topics are placed on eight pages long special ("Inside Eppendorf"). The magazine is published twice a year in German and English since 2016.
