General Information

About ATMOS

The UniPix ATMOS Pipette Accuracy Tester is an instrument for precise measurement of air displacement pipettes,
without need of liquid. It is based on

comparison

with a

calibrated internal reference cavity

in the instrument. It

also measures the leak rate of pipettes.

Never use the instrument with liquid in the pipette tip.

This will permanently damage the instrument (no repair is possible)!

Allow the internal temperature to stabilize during at least 30 minutes after

unpacking or moving the instrument from another room.

•

It is recommended to verify that the instrument battery is well charged or to use the instrument with the
external power supply connected via the USB cable.

•

The instrument is powered by an internal Lithium-Polymer battery which allows continuous operation for
more than

3 hours

and several weeks with short daily testing sessions.
