Changing pipette tips 5.6
To reinsert the pipette, place the pipette in the socket on the arm and tighten the screw.
Insert the cable into its slot, and tighten the two screws. It is a good idea to re-calibrate
the open fill port position once the pipette has been replaced; see
Section 5.7 .
5.6 Changing pipette tips
See the instructions above to remove the syringe from the pipette. The pipette should
remain connected to the tower.
1 In the Instrument Controls tab, click the Remove Old Tip button to position the tip.
2 Use the blade of the X-acto knife provided with the instrument to make a diagonal
cut on the side of the white Teflon tip (See
Figure 5-5 ), and use the small-tipped
tweezers to pull the tip off (See Figure 5-5 ).
3 Click the Install New Tip button to position the tip.
4 Use the tip pusher tool, with the new tip in the slot hole-side up, and firmly press
the new tip into place (See
Figure 5-6 ). Rotate the tool to ensure that the tip is firmly
seated.
5 Remove the tip pusher tool and inspect the tip to be sure it is seated properly.
6 Reinstall the syringe as described above to finish.
