4. NEOPIPETTA DESCRIPTION
4.1. Operating buttons
The neoPipetta has two operating buttons located at the front of the handle. The upper button enables aspiration
for as long as the button is held down. The lower button allows for dispensing. The aspiration and dispensing
speeds can be fine-tuned during operation by applying varying finger pressure on the operating buttons.
4.2. Speed adjustment button
The speed adjustment button is located at the upper part of the handle. The desired speed is set by sliding the
pulley.
4.3. Nose cone and silicone adaptor
The
pipet adapter provided with the neoPipetta allows the use of all standard plastic and glass pipets (graduated
and non-graduated) including Pasteur pipets. The pipet adapter of the neoPipetta consists of the nose cone and
silicone adapter. The silicon adapter enables a pipet to fit securely in place, thus creating a proper vacuum level
and prevents leakage.
4.4. Filters
Removing the nose cone and silicone adaptor exposes a hydrophobic filter (0.45 micron), located at the top of the
nose piece. The filter protects the neoPipetta from accidental over-aspiration. It is strongly recommended to use
only the original filters supplied by the manufacturer with the neoPipetta.
Note:
The neoPipetta cannot be operated without a filter. Wetting of filter due to overfilling will slow or prevent
fluid movement. If overfilling occurs, change the filter immediately.
5. OPERATING THE NEOPIPETTA
5.1. Setting the operating speed
The pulley located at the back of the handle allows you to adjust your aspiration and dispensing speeds. Simply
turn right for faster and left for slower speeds. The neoPipetta can self-regulate the aspiration and dispensing
speeds by circuit feedback.
Note:
The aspiration and dispensing speeds can be fine-tuned during operation by applying a varying amount of
finger pressure to the operating buttons.
5.2. Inserting a serological pipet
Gently push a serological pipet into the silicone adapter and ensure that it fits securely. To insert the serological
pipet safely, hold the neoPipetta firmly by the nose cone and the serological pipet from the top end of the tube.
