Eppendorf has announced the latest version of its PC software for controlling the epMotion automated pipetting system.
epBlue ID incorporates a barcode-management functionality to provide secure sample tracking.
The epMotion PC version with epBlue software provides a convenient way to use an automated liquid-handling system.
Operating and programming is easy and fast, with complex methods generated in minutes.
The intuitive menus and the consistent, tab-based structure guide the user through the software functions.
Pipetting pattern recognition, labware database and liquid classes are built in and organised for ease of use.
Holger Eggert, global product manager, automation, said: 'This latest version of the epMotion operating system has been developed specifically for users working in regulated areas where sample safety and the requirement to track and document each individual specimen are of paramount importance.
'The barcode-management functionality of epBlue ID software will be of particular benefit in molecular clinical diagnostics, medical research, pharmaceutical development and quality control, forensic science and food testing.' All five epMotion systems - designed for routine pipetting, cell culture, liquid handling, vacuum technologies and PCR setup - are available in a PC version with epBlue IDsoftware.
