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).
Model Color of volumeter numbers
Black Red
M10, M25, M50 µL 0.1 µL
M100, M250 µL none
M1000 0.1 and 0.01 mL mL
The volume is set by turning the thumbwheel slowly to
reach the required setting.
To obtain maximum accuracy when setting the volume,
proceed as follows:
- when
decreasing
the volume
setting, slowly reach the required
setting, making sure not to over-
shoot the mark.
- 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.
