Ovation QS BioNatural Pipette – Adjustable Volume-Set Operator’s Guide
2 - 4
While maintaining a flat wrist-hand
posture, insert the Ovation pipette
nozzle into a tip. Press down until you
hear or feel a “click”. This “click”
indicates that the tip is properly seated
and ready for use.
Disposable pipette tips are to be used
once, then discarded. For proper fit and
to achieve stated precision and accuracy
specifications, use the VistaLab pipette
tips recommended in this manual. Use of
other manufacturer’s tips can cause the
pipette performance to differ from stated
specifications, can damage the nozzle or
ejector sleeve, or impede the performance
of the tip ejection system.
1. Press the plunger down to the first
stop, and immerse pipette tip in the
sample.
2. Smoothly and slowly, release the
plunger allowing sample to enter the
pipette tip. Wait one second before
withdrawing the tip from the sample.
3. Place the pipette tip against the side
of the receiving vessel close to the
bottom of the vessel, or if it contains
liquid, just above the surface of the
liquid.
4. Smoothly depress the plunger to the
first stop. Wait one second, then fully
depress the plunger to the second
stop to dispense all liquid from the tip.
5. With the plunger depressed, slowly
withdraw the tip.
6. Release the plunger when the tip is
away from the receiving vessel.
