Eppendorf offers website users chance to win console

Eppendorf, a manufacturer of molecular biology instruments, reagents and consumables, has come up with a novel way in which to attract internet users to its online hub.

The firm is offering those who visit its Eppendorf Detection site the opportunity to win a Nintendo Wii games console.

In order to be in with a chance of taking home the prize, visitors must answer three questions about the company’s Eppendorf BioPhotometer plus tool. They will then be entered into a prize draw.

Those who peruse the site will also be able to gain access to information about the detection products for photometry along with the basic principles of the subject.

This news comes after Eppendorf launched a web-based game to raise awareness of its vapo.protect technology last week, offering users who generate the highest scores the chance to win prizes, including an 8GB iPod Touch and one of ten 25 twin.tec PCR plates 96.
