As part of the 30th Birthday celebrations for Eppendorf's Multipette, a special Multipette Xstream Kary Mullis Edition has been designed. Only 1,000 of these very special electronic hand dispensers are available worldwide.
Each Multipette Xstream Kary Mullis Edition is delivered in a premium presentation box containing the distinctive anthracite coloured dispenser, an exclusive stylish holder and a set of Combitips. The device, stand and box carry the signature of Kary B. Mullis, marking the pioneering achievement of the 1993 Nobel laureate for chemistry who invented the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). A copy of his testimonial is also included.
Over 30 years the Multipette has become an indispensable laboratory tool for liquid handling tasks. In addition to high precision, contamination-free dispensing of liquids of different densities, viscous or volatile, the electronic Multipette Xstream is also ideal for aspirating, titrating and sequential dispensing. With enhanced sensor technology for Combitip recognition, the Kary Mullis edition offers a unique opportunity to own a one-in-a-thousand piece of Multipette technology.
