For optimum performance, use of Gilson's
DIAMOND Tips with your PIPETMAN P is strongly
recommended
. DIAMoND 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.
However, PIPETMAN P can also be used with the
main tip brands.
Fitting the tips
To fit a new Gilson DIAMoND Tip, push the tip-holder
into the tip using a slight twisting motion to ensure
a firm and airtight seal.
For the P2 and P10 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 position.
P2 and P10 models are delivered with the adapter
in place, positioned in the longer slot, ready to use
DL10 tips. When D10 tips (which are shorter) are
used, the adapter must be repositioned in the shorter
slot as follows:
Pull the adapter down from the metallic rod.
Turn the adapter through 180°C.
Refit the adapter so that the end of the metallic
rod engages the shorter slot of the adapter.
Finally, check that the “dimple” on the metallic
rod is engaged in the corresponding hole on
the adapter.
