Eppendorf is celebrating the Multipette handheld dispenser's 30th birthday with the launch of online competitions and news of a changing selection of special offers.
Users are invited to enter the 'My Multipette and Me' photo contest by uploading imaginative images, perhaps of a decorated Multipette, or 30th birthday celebrations in their lab.
Each month from April to October 2009, one randomly selected winner from the online photo gallery will receive an exclusive Mini-Multipette laser pointer.
In mid-November a jury will select the 30 best pictures for publication on the website.
The 30 photographers will each win a birthday cake, while the top three will be able to celebrate with an Eppendorf-sponsored lab party to the value of EUR600, EUR500 or EUR400.
A changing programme of sales promotions will be announced on Eppendorf's website, including some special packages and a limited-edition Multipette.
