1. INTRODUCTION
Pipetman 8X200 is an eight-channel Pipetman
for liquid measurement and transfer applications
requiring the use of 96-well plates. The 8X200
allows continuous volume adjustment from 20 to
200 µl. A digital volumeter indicates the volume
setting in microliters, simplifies the volume set-
ting process and reduces the chance of error in
reading volumes.
Each nozzle contains its own piston and seal
assembly (
Fig. 3
). The piston seals are lubricated
with silicone grease for low friction and long life.
Precision-ground stainless steel pistons contrib-
ute to seal integrity and ensure accuracy and
precision for each nozzle. Nozzle assemblies
are removable and can be individually replaced.
A piston bar, controlled by the operator’s thumb,
moves the eight pistons simultaneously during
operation. Tips are easily ejected by a cam-
actuated tip ejector, thus avoiding the need for
hand contact with contaminated tips (
