Eppendorf AG's new app offers a variety of useful aids for everyday laboratory work in addition to product information that has been optimized for mobile devices.

"Making daily laboratory work easier for our users: that's the comprehensive claim we want mobile users to experience with our new app," says Frank Thormählen, Director of Technical Writing at Eppendorf.

The Eppendorf app offers customers the following functions:

Product catalogue

Complete digital catalogue with laboratory and bioprocess products – after initial loading usable even when offline. The advantage to using the catalogue online is access to additional content, such as operation manuals and application notes, as well as a shop function that is accessible via the app.

Tools and calculators

The app is equipped with a programmable laboratory timer and a codon translator along with a variety of calculators for routine laboratory applications, such as molarity calculation, determination of annealing temperatures or the conversion of various units of measurement.

News feature

The app offers current news on Eppendorf products and services and the opportunity to download Eppendorf's customer magazine, BioNews, directly into the user's own library.

Moreover, customers can use the app to contact Eppendorf anytime to offer feedback or make suggestions. Initially the app will be available free of charge in the Apple® App Store® for the Apple® iPad® and iPhone®. A version for users of Android® will be available sometime during the second quarter of 2015. Eppendorf will continue to develop the app and add new content to it.
