Eppendorf epMotion TM 1000-8 Dispensing Tool 1000 ul 8 Channel

Eppendorf epMotion TM 1000-8 8-Channel Dispensing Tool – 20 to 1000 microliter Volume Range, Autoclavable, Thermal-Isolated Drive, RFID-Enabled (MPN: 960001061)

Used; in great condition.

The Eppendorf 960001061 (also cataloged as 5011003001, 5280000037, or epMotion TM 1000-8) is an 8-channel automated liquid handling dispensing tool engineered for high-precision 96-well and 384-well liquid handling on Eppendorf epMotion 5070, 5073, 5075, and 5075t automated pipetting workstations. Covering an expansive volume dynamic range from 20 microliters to 1000 microliters, this multichannel thermal-decoupled dispensing head utilizes an advanced contact-free liquid contact path to achieve high volumetric accuracy and reproducibility across all eight channels simultaneously. Equipped with an integrated memory chip storing individual factory calibration parameters, the tool is automatically recognized by the epMotion software upon attachment. Built with thermally isolated electronic drives and an autoclavable lower housing, the TM 1000-8 is optimized for high-throughput genomic assays, enzymatic master-mix distribution, serial dilutions, and deep-well microplate transfers.

Technical Performance and Engineering Design

• Expansive 20 to 1000 microliter Dynamic Range: Delivers accurate air-displacement pipetting across a wide working range, allowing a single 8-channel tool to handle both mid-volume transfers (50 microliters) and large-volume bulk reagent additions (1000 microliters).

• Thermal-Isolated Drive Motors: Internal motor drivers are isolated from the liquid path and tip cones to prevent motor heat transfer from warming reagents or causing thermal liquid expansion errors during long dispensing routines.

• Automatic RFID / Contact Recognition: Outfitted with an embedded memory chip that communicates serial number, calibration offsets, and service history directly to the epMotion controller upon placement in the tool rack.

• Autoclavable Lower Dispensing Section: The entire lower tip-cone assembly can be detached and steam autoclaved at 121 C for 20 minutes to eliminate cross-contamination risks when working with sensitive nucleic acid or primary cell cultures.
