DISPENSING 

• 

Place a 96-well microplate at the front location of the left drawer

       

and keep it 

fully retracted in the rear position.

• 

Move the pipetting head 

      

to the left and align the tips with the microplate.

• 

Pull the pipetting head slowly down into 

the wells, but do not touch the bottom 

of the wells. 

• 

Squeeze the pipetting handle

         

slowly to dispense all the solution.

• 

Pull the pipetting head slowly up with 

the pipetting handle fully squeezed.

• 

Gently retract the pipetting handle.

• 

To simplify this operation, a height 
adjuster  

     

can be set by turning the 

upper screw so that the pipetting head 
may only be moved down to a position 
slightly above the bottom.

is located at the first step by checking the position on the blue wheel.

•  Aspirate the solution.

•  Move the pipetting head over the microplate and dispense the first 96 wells.

STEP 2:

•  Move the microplate on to the second position of the 384-well plate adapter 

using the blue wheel.
