Filling and Dispensing
Aspirating liquid

2. Press the Aspirate (upper) trigger until the pipette is filled just above the
desired mark.
3. Press the Dispense (low) trigger slowly until the meniscus is exactly level
with the desired mark.
Dispensing liquid
During blow-out, liquid is dispensed with the aid of the pump.
1. Place the pipette against the wall of the vessel.
2. Press the Dispense (low) trigger completely.
For drip mode
●
Aspirate is on low motor speed.
●
Press the Dispense (low) trigger to release the liquid drop by drop.
Liquid dispensing takes place
only using atmospheric pressure.
Using the Side Stand
●
Use the side stand to safely
place the MACROMAN and its
pipette on a lab bench.
●
Turn the stand to the left or to
the right to avoid the pipette
touching the lab bench.
