Instruction Manual – 3

 A.  Pipetting  pushbutton: 

Consists of 2 parts: 

the pushbutton (A1) and the knob (A2).

 B.  Volume adjustment knob: 

Used to set the volume.

 C.  Shaft: 

Manufactured using high quality plastic, 

ensuring high chemical and mechanical strength.

 D.  Tip  ejector: 

For multi-channel pipettors, the tips are 

ejected sequentially, reducing the required force.

 F.  Shaft nut
 N.  Ejector  pushbutton
 R.  Multi-channel manifold: 

Contains a set of plungers 

and a set of flexible-suspension shafts, which function 

to reduce the force required to attach the tip.

Model Identification

The volume range of the pipettor is shown on the 

pipetting pushbutton.

 4.  Safety  Recommendations 

Long-term use of the pipettor relies on correct method of use. 

Please read and follow the instructions for use carefully. 
Symbols used: 

Danger, risk of injury.

NOTE

Risk of damage to the pipettor or errors in pipetting.

NOTE:

•  The pipettor is designed for the transfer of liquids only 

using the tip. Do not aspirate liquids without the tip 

attached. The aspirated liquid should not enter the 

pipettor, as it may cause damage.

•  Single-use tips reduce the risk of contamination of 

samples.

•  Keep the pipettor clean, avoiding the use of abrasive or 

corrosive cleaning agents (e.g., acetone). 

•  Keep the pipettor upright when there is liquid in the tip.
•  Only using the pipettor in accordance with the 

manufacturer’s instructions ensures the correct pipettor 

parameters are maintained.
