    How can I use epMotion 5070 for automated PCR setup?


    Watch the epMotion 5070 in action to see how automated PCR setup can be seamlessly integrated into your daily workflow.
    This video demonstrates how the epMotion 5070 performs fully automated PCR and qPCR setup, using the intuitive epBlue™ software for protocol creation and execution. See how the system increases your walk-away time and delivers consistent, reproducible results across up to 96 samples in parallel.

    Your samples, reagents, and tips − all in one deck position


    With the epMotion 5070, PCR setup of 96 samples in parallel is reliable and easy. With the modular Reservoir Rack Module PCR, you can store your reagent tubes, PCR tubes/strips, and tips together in one deck position. This frees up space for additional plates, improving workflow efficiency.
    Each Reservoir Rack Module Tips holds up to 16 tips and supports volumes from 10 µL to 1,000 µL. This lets you preload the exact tips required for your workflow, reducing the need for tip box changes, and allowing for continuous, hands-off operation.
