If this does not solve the issue, then as a backup method you can use the wire method
explained here. Note this is not the preferred method and it is rare you will need to use
this method.
This must be done very carefully. First, remove the syringe from the pipette.
As always when handling the syringe, be careful not to bend the needle. The wire should
always be inserted through the glass first, both to ensure that the clog is fully removed
from the syringe and to decrease the likelihood of bending the syringe. It may be
difficult to insert the end of the wire from the glass bore into the metal needle; good light
and a magnifying glass will help.
Continue to insert the wire until it emerges from the tip of the needle. Carefully pull the
wire back through the needle and glass bore.

5.5 Removing pipette
The pipette is held by the arm and connected to the tower by a black cable. First
disconnect the black plastic connector, by removing two screws (see below) and pulling
the connector loose. This requires a 0.050" hex driver. Loosen the screw on the side of
the arm to remove the pipette.
