nOte:

The accuracy of titration measurements

is affected by your technique. Be careful when

removing the cap of the cell extender to add

reagents. Flicking the cap or popping it off can

cause solution to spill out of the cell extender.

Always use a new pipette tip when changing

solutions to avoid contamination.

Pipette Instructions

always use a clean tip when changing

solutions!

To install a tip, press the wide end of

the tip on the end of the pipette until it is secure.

To remove a tip, simply pull it off the end of the

pipette.

nOte:

Do NOT twist the cap off as this may

unscrew the shaft bottom from the pipette.

The pipette has 3 positions: REST, FIRST STOP, and SECOND STOP.

Practice pushing in and letting up on the pipette to feel the different

positions.

a. To DRAW a

sample: grasp the pipette by the shaft

with your hand. Rest your thumb on top

of the

plunger button. Use your thumb

to depress the top of the pipette to the

FIRST STOP. Insert the tip end down into

sample until only the tip is submerged,

about 2-3m

1/8

". Slowly release the

top and let it return to the REST position

being careful to keep the tip submerged.

b. To DISPENSE

a sample: With the pipette in the REST

position, place the tip end over the

Do not allow the pipette tip to touch

the cell wall or the sample.
