The dials are colored either black or red to indicate the
position of the decimal point, depending on the model
(see examples).
The volume is set by turning
the thumbwheel or the push-
button. The push-button
makes it easier and quicker
to set volumes, especially
when wearing gloves. The
thumbwheel may be turned
using only one hand to slowly
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 overshoot
the mark.
when
increasing
the volume setting, pass the required
value by 1/3 of a turn and then slowly decrease to reach
the volume, making sure not to overshoot the mark.
5 - PIPettIng
For optimum performance, use of PIPETMAN DIAMOND
Tips with your PIPETMAN Neo is strongly recommended.
These Tips, made from pure polypropylene have the
Gilson logo engraved on their collar, ensuring that you
have a genuine Gilson product. Plastic tips are for a single
application – they must not be cleaned for reuse.
PIPETMAN Neo can also be used with the main tip brands.
Fitting the tips
Single channel models:
To fit a new PIPETMAN DIAMOND Tip, push the tip-holder
into the tip using a slight twisting motion to ensure a
firm, airtight seal.
For the P2N and P10N models, a dual-position adapter (plastic)
is required to fit DL10 tips (long tips) or D10 tips (short tips). The
metallic rod of the tip-ejector is shaped so that the adapter may
be clipped to it in either of two positions.
