Eppendorf Reference® 2 12-channel, variable, 0.5 - 10 µL, medium gray

This variable-volume, 12-channel pipette from Eppendorf covers a range of 0.5–10 µL and is finished in medium gray. Positioned as the brand's premium pipette, it is engineered for exceptional precision and accuracy, with a design focus on improved ergonomics, optimum user safety, reliability, robustness, and a long service life.

An innovative single-button operation performs both dispensing and tip ejection quickly and easily, while actively reducing aerosol exposure to protect the user, the sample, and the instrument. A sturdy stainless-steel handle shields the pipette from impact, and spring-loaded bumpers help it remain within calibration even after a fall. These features make it well suited to handling precious liquids or any application requiring extremely high accuracy. The ergonomic design eliminates lateral thumb movement: every action is completed in a single motion with clear haptic feedback to prevent accidental tip ejection. A light, supple piston reduces muscle strain during pipetting, and a lockable spring-loaded tip cone lowers the force needed to attach and eject tips. The multi-channel configuration offers sequential ejection, individually removable channels, and a channel indicator.

A reversible secondary adjustment system, separate from the metrological adjustment, enables the user to calibrate the pipette to specific operating conditions (such as liquid type, temperature, and pressure) while leaving factory settings untouched. An embedded RFID chip works with the Eppendorf TrackIT software to record information specific to the pipette and its use, supporting full traceability. The instrument is supplied with a certificate of conformity to EN ISO 8655 and is backed by a 3-year warranty.
