Eppendorf Reference 2 BASIC 4924000231

The Eppendorf Reference 2 BASIC (art. no. 4924000231) is a single‑channel, variable‑volume mechanical air‑cushion pipette intended for precise laboratory liquid handling (2–20 µL). Manufacturer descriptions state it uses Eppendorf's single‑button operation and spring‑loaded tip cone and is fully autoclavable, making it suitable for sterile environments and routine pipetting of small volumes. The design emphasizes precision, reduced operating forces and user comfort for repetitive pipetting tasks.

Key Features:

• Volume range: 2–20 µL (variable)
• Single‑channel, variable‑volume mechanical pipette
• Color/identification: Light gray (operating button / volume band)
• Material: plastic housing (sturdy handle with stainless steel elements)
• Fully autoclavable; smooth, low‑adhesive housing for easy decontamination
• Spring‑loaded tip cone and single‑button operation (air‑cushion design)

Advantages:

• Single‑button operation reduces thumb movement and lowers repetitive‑strain risk
• Autoclavable smooth housing enables efficient decontamination for sterile work
• Spring‑loaded tip cone improves reproducible tip fit and user‑to‑user consistency
• Immediate tip ejection after dispense and active aerosol reduction lower contamination risk
