OPERATION

Description

The pipetting head moves both vertically and horizontally. Vertical movements 

are made to fit tips and pipette liquid. Horizontal movements are made to 

transfer liquids. This movement is possible only when the head is fully raised.
Two drawers can hold up to three different microplates and can be used at the 

same time.

Height Adjuster

The descent of the pipetting head and the 
position of the tips can be adjusted by using  
three height adjusters, as shown in figure 9.

 

.

This will prevent the tips from touching 

the bottom of the microplate and can be 

adjusted for use with shallow- or deep-well 

microplates.

Moving PLATEMASTER

Whether placed on the lab bench, under a fume hood, 

in a cold room, or used in the field, PLATEMASTER is 
completely portable. PLATEMASTER includes a locking 
system to lock the head when the instrument is being 

moved.
After each use of PLATEMASTER, remember to lock the 

pipetting head to prepare for transport.
To lock the pipetting head, pull the black part on the 

left side of PLATEMASTER, lower the head, and turn 

the black part until the notch is in the slot. Let the head 

slowly ride up and be locked.
To unlock the pipetting head, pull the black part and turn it. Once the pipetting head 

is released, check proper movement of the device.

Never move the device without locking the pipetting head. 

Damages caused by movement without locking the device will not 

be covered by the warranty.
