Distriman is equipped with a direct reading volu-
meter that allows precise and continuous volume 
setting. The  aliquots  are  dispensed  by  pressing 
the push-button the required number of times (you 
may also change the volume between aliquots). 
A small red flag warns you when you are near to 
dispensing the final aliquot.

Because your Distriman is permanently calibrated 
when  manufactured,  there  is  no  need  for  re-
adjustment.  It  is  virtually  maintenance  free. 
However,  a  few  spare  parts  have  been  made 
available in case they are damaged as the result 
of extensive use.
