Eppendorf Reference 2 BASIC 4924000274

The Eppendorf Reference 2 is a mechanical, air-cushion micropipette series designed for precise, routine liquid handling in laboratories. It uses an ergonomic single-button operation for aspiration, dispensing and tip ejection and is offered in single- and multi-channel formats (fixed and variable volumes) for work with tubes, flasks and microplates. Manufacturer documentation emphasizes its suitability for sterile environments thanks to a smooth housing and full autoclavability, and positions the Reference 2 for applications that require high accuracy and repeatability.

Key Features:

• Mechanical air-cushion pipette with single-button operation (aspirate/dispense/eject).
• Available as single-channel (fixed or variable volume) and as 8- and 12-channel models.
• Fully autoclavable with smooth, low-adhesive housing for efficient decontamination.
• Spring-loaded tip cone for reproducible, low-force tip attachment.
• 4-digit volume display with magnifying window and volume lock; user-friendly temporary adjustment feature.

Advantages:

• Ergonomic single-button design reduces thumb strain and speeds repetitive pipetting.
• Spring-loaded tip cone and precise mechanics improve user-to-user reproducibility and tip fit.
• Autoclavability and smooth surface minimize contamination risk and simplify cleaning for sterile workflows.
• Design features (stainless-steel edges, spring-loaded bumpers) increase robustness and help maintain calibration after impact.
