PIPETTING JUST LIKE WITH PIPETMAN
Using PIPETMAN M is as easy as using a mechanical PIPETMAN.
Your PIPETMAN M is set by default to
“PIPET Mode”,
which means
forward pipetting. Select a volume and then start to pipette.
Switch On
Press push button.
Adjust the Volume Setting
1.
Hold your PIPETMAN M in a nearly vertical position.
2. Turn the push button half way. The screen will display:
“
Click to change volume.”
3. Press the push button; the volume on the display will start blinking and
you can now adjust the volume:
●
Turn the push button either clockwise to decrease volume or counter
clockwise to increase volume, as indicated on the button.
●
Press the push button one time when finished. The volume is locked.
Purge Volume
The tip can be emptied at any time during a pipetting cycle.
1.
Turn the push button quickly: the message
“Click to abort” will appear on the
screen.
2. Click on the push button to validate: the liquid will be dispensed and an automatic
purge followed by piston reset to zero will occur.
NOTE
You can use the PIPET Mode for all standard applications like DNA
extraction, plasmid isolation, cloning, dilution, PCR, qPCR and many others.
You can easily pipette aqueous liquids like buffer, chemical solutions
(MgCl2, KCl …), and biological samples such as blood, DNA, and RNA.
