Girl, you need epMotion

Original site (autoplaying video) with ringtones, mp3, lyrics and making-of.

This post was deleted for the following reason: pipetters gonna pipette -- cortex



 
That is undoubtedly the best automated pipetting system commercial EVAR.

You barely see any pipetting in action! This is way better. (Yes, I too am sometimes amazed by my level of nerdiness.)

Our lab recently bought a new thermocycler, and the rep showed these videos before outlining our machine's specs. We made him replay the latter one twice.

It pleases me that this exists in the world. I am trying very hard not to question why it exists. I think that might ruin it.

I am crying in my cube, I'm laughing so hard. Bio Rad is rad!

Hell, I don't even know what it is, and I'm ready to buy it.

Ha! And the epMotion video was shot on Baker Beach and in the Presidio!

I am going to watch all of these and then try to explain to my co-workers why I can stop laughing (and crying).

Through the suggested videos I found this series of music videos by German chemistry students. Some of them are straight covers, some are parodies. Some highlights: Fight for your Chemie (a music video for (You Gotta) Fight for your Right (to Party))
Chemie dass es dich gibt (an ode to their chemistry program and a parody of Merci, dass es dich gibt)

The rest won't make a lot of sense unless you speak German.

Ich will Chemie (a parody of I Will Survive)
OC Vorlesung (I don't recognize the tune; anyway it's about organic chemistry lectures)
Trennungsgang (a song about the woes of learning qualitative analysis; a parody of Summer Wine)

Wow, that's some mighty fine automated pipetting goin' on. These folks have one Hell of an awesome marketing department.

Nanodrop it like it's hot!

(Sadly not a parody, but a guy submits TWO papers to Nature).

This contains exactly none of the creepiness from the "sexy guy sells you menstrual pads" commercials.

I call fake. Those aren't regulation safety glasses - no side shields. Who signed off on this?

God bless you and your promo videos, Eppendorf. (Also, you, unsurprisingly, make by far the best 1.5 ml tubes.)

Biorad still wins.
Well, it's amazing what heating and cooling and heating can do...

This video is still funny, but sadly a double.

It is like they made this commercial JUST FOR ME.

I will buy anything they ask me to. Hell yes I could use a pipetter in my english class.

They're obviously targeting that massive "tween lab assistant" market.
