Eppendorf's 'My first robot' prize draw competition has been won by Andy Lawson, a clinical scientist in the Health Protection Agency's Laboratory of Enteric Pathogens
Dr Lawson was presented with his ERS-7 Aibo entertainment robot by Eppendorf UK's marketing director, Rowan Maulder, at the recent International Biotech show at Olympia in London.
Eppendorf says it chose the appealing robot dog to highlight its own new product, the epMotion liquid handling robot, during a promotional UK tour.
Like the Aibo, this automated pipetting machine features state-of-the-art design and construction, as well as versatility for a wide range of laboratory tasks.
