When pipetting foaming liquids (e.g. cell culture media) I‘m transferring foam which got trapped between the epT.I.PS. 384. How can I improve?

When pipetting foaming liquids it may happen that foam adhere between the tips. Make sure to pipette slowly avoiding foam formation. Importantly, do not immerse the tip too deeply into the liquid preventing foam getting caught between the tips.

How can I decontaminate the Move It lower part?

With Xplorer plus, the lower parts are autoclavable. With Research plus the complete pipette is autoclavable.

The adjustment of cone spacing of the electronic model is not motorized. What is the reason?

When working with plates and multi-channel pipettes it is a prerequisite to have a rotatable lower part. Fixed lower parts make the work inconvenient and non-ergomic. For this reason Eppendorf has invented a lower part combining the factors "rotating" with "adjustable cone spacing". The fact, that the lower part is not fixed means that the motor for the cone space adjustment cannot be integrated in the pipette's upper part. Having a rotating lower part requires a motor in the lower part. This extra weight would have made the pipette "foot-heavy" and becoming non-ergonomic. For this reason Eppendorf decided for a manual cone spacing.

The Move It lower parts show indications for plates. I have a plate which does not fit into these formats. Can I nevertheless use the Move It pipettes?

First, please check with the option table, if you have the suitable Move It pipette availabe. Maybe you simply need a different model for your applications. In case you have an atypical vessel format you can of course also use Move It if not exceeding the distance range. Use a ruler to check which Move It model is suitable for your atypic vessel type. Within this range all distances can be set. Therefore please proceed as follows: 1) Attach tips 2) Set the two format limiters to maximum width range 3) Use the rotating knob to adjust the space between the tips until fitting to the atypic vessel 4) Set one of the format limiter to this position 5) Set the rotating knob to the second vessel type 6) Set the format limiter to this tip distance You can now work between these set limits by simply using the rotating knob.

Could you please send me an overview over the chemical resistance of the Move It lower parts?

The Move It lower parts are exclusively made of the high-tech materials we have already build in the Research plus and Xplorer pipettes. Thus the chemical resistance table for the Research plus applies also for both, the Xplorer Move It lower parts and the Research plus Move It lower parts (but not for the upper part of Xplorer due to the electronics). The list is available on the eppendorf website (Research plus / Operating Manual)

How do the Move It Pipettes become serviced?

First of all, the Move It is a normal pipette which, accordingly to ISO 8655, needs to be calibrated at least once a year. You can send the pipettes to your service provider, to the eppendorf service or do the calibration yourself. Maintenance should be performed by service providers only.

Which vessel formats is Move It suitable for?

Based on the Move It model you can apply it with vessel types having a distance between 4.5 - 33 mm. Some examples: Plates (384- / 96-/ 48-/ 24-/ 12-well formats), 0.2 / 0.5 / 1.5 / 2.0 / 5 mL tubes, different vials,ect. Check the navigator table to find the model being suitable for your specific vessel-to-vessel distance. The adjustment of the distance between the cones is stepless giving you maximum flexibility to adjust to non-standard vessel formats.

Double your pipetting performance with adjustable spacer pipettes

Eppendorf redefined adjustable tip spacing pipettes from scratch according to their premium standards. Move It is the result of customer requests for an efficient and safe solution for synchronous pipetting of a series of samples between different vessel formats, such as between tubes and plates. What is unique about the Move It? It can do this without any tubing connections between cone and piston-cylinder system. This significantly enhances pipetting performance: Fewer movable, often fragile parts, means more precision and durability. Move It is autoclavable which increases user and sample safety.

One pipette – Many vessel formats

Move It adjustable tip spacing multi-channel pipettes significantly accelerate and simplify the workflow when frequent format changes are required. Let’s get ready to move a series of samples synchronously between different vessel formats, such as between tubes and plates. The operating time is significantly less than when using single-channel pipettes. For microplates, tubes, and agarose gels, the tip spacing can be freely selected between 4.5 and 33 mm depending on the model.

Save up to 70 % of your time when filling 384-well plates

One of the most efficient ways to manually fill a 384-well plate* is a combination of liquid medium distribution with an Eppendorf Xplorer plus 24-channel pipette and synchronous sample transfer with the Xplorer plus Move It pipette. Ask your sales representative for demo devices and see for yourself!

*results were measured by using 12-channel mechanical pipettes for liquid medium distribution and single-channel pipettes for individual sample transfers.

Easy and fast tip spacing adjustment

Source and destination formats can be adjusted and locked with the format limiter which quickly switches forward and backward within the set formats. This means less concentration is required when setting the next pipetting step, saving valuable time. The format adjustment itself is carried out manually with an adjustment knob which allows for a quicker adjustment than via a motor. The format adjustment process is designed to allow the user to always maintain a relaxed body and hand position.
