- when
increasing
the volume setting, pass the required
value by 1/3 of a turn and then slowly decrease the
volume to reach the required setting, making sure not
to overshoot the mark.
For large volume changes,
proceed
as follows :
1) Push the unlock button counter.
2) When
decreasing
the volume
setting, approach the required
setting, by 1/3 of a turn.
When
increasing
the volume

7 - PIPETTING
Aspirating
- Press the push-button to the
first stop (1),
- Immerse the capillary 2 mm
into the liquid,
-
Slowly release the push-
button to draw up the liquid
(top position),
- Wipe any liquid from the out-
side of the capillary, taking care
not to touch the orifice.
Dispensing
- Place the end of the capillary against the inside wall
of the recipient vessel,
- Press the push-button slowly to the first stop,
- Keeping the push-button depressed, move the capil-
lary away from the sidewall,
- Withdraw MICROMAN E from the vessel and release
the push-button.
Ejecting the capillary piston
Press the push-button to the first stop (1), then press
down harder to the second stop (2); at this point the
piston and capillary are ejected simultaneously.
MICROMAN E is automatically calibrated by correctly fitting a
capillary piston. Once the volume is set, measurements will be
accurate and precise.

9 - TROUBLESHOOTING
You may be able to identify and correct the problem
by referring to the following table. If you cannot solve
the problem, please contact your Gilson representative.
Leaks:
Replace the capillary and piston.
No stroke:
The piston is not properly fitted into the clamp; check
that the piston is seated correctly (refer to pages 5-7).
Without any capillary piston, press the push-button to
the first stop, then press down harder to the second stop.
Difficult to fit a capillary:
Clean the capillary holder with ethanol. Without any
