About the Company

Eppendorf

Manufactures laboratory equipment for molecular biology

Eppendorf develops and sells lab equipment used in life sciences. Its product range includes precision liquid handling tools (notably the piston-stroke pipette), sample containers (like the Eppi tube) and centrifugation systems. The pipette measures small liquid volumes by translating a piston stroke into a controlled displacement, while tubes store samples and centrifuges separate components by spinning samples at high speed; these pieces form the Microliter System that underpins many molecular biology workflows. The company differentiates itself through a long, privately held lineage with a history of building essential lab tools, a broad and integrated ecosystem of high‑quality instruments (from basic pipetting to premium centrifuges), and a focus on reliability for professional labs. Its goal is to remain a leading provider of precise, durable laboratory equipment that supports researchers and bioprocess work worldwide.
