Make sure the capillary piston (CP)
model matches the MICROMAN E
you are about to use:
CP25, CP50 and CP250 Bulk
The capillaries and pistons are deliv-
ered in two separate boxes. To fit a
capillary piston, proceed as illustrated:
1) Take care not to damage the
sealing tip
when handling
the piston
.
2) Select a piston
and slide
it into the capillary
.
3) Gently push the capillary
until it snaps onto the capil-
lary holder.
4) Slowly press the push-
button to the first stop to
attach the stem
. You
should definitely feel and
hear a slight click.

6 - SETTING THE VOLUME
The volume of liquid to be aspirated is set using the
volumeter. The volumeter consists of three number dials,
which are read from top (most significant digit) to bottom
(least significant digit). A marker is used to set exact or
intermediate volumes using the scale on the bottom dial.
The dials are colored either black or red to indicate the
position of the decimal point, according to the model (see
examples).

The volume is set by turning the thumb-
wheel slowly to reach the required setting.
For small volume changes,
directly and
slowly turn the thumbwhell.
To obtain maximum accuracy when
setting the volume, proceed as follows:
- when
decreasing
the volume setting,
slowly reach the required setting, mak-
ing sure not to overshoot the mark.
