Chapter 8
2. Press the push button to aspirate the selected volume.
3. To dispense: click (press and release) the push button.
Three things happen: sample dispense, automatic
purge, and piston reset to zero. Or, keep your thumb
pressing the push button until the end of the dispense
cycle: the piston reset takes place after releasing the
push button again. This feature enables you to remove
the tip from the liquid, without aspirating anything.
4. Eject tip by pressing the ejection button.
Your PIPETMAN M is ready for the next pipetting cycle while
maintaining the volume and the last settings.
Continue pipetting as you would with your mechanical PIPETMAN; it’s as simple as
that to use your new, electronic pipette!
REPETITIVE Mode
The REPETITIVE Mode allows you to distribute the same volume repeatedly in a
predefined number (N) of equal aliquots. You supply the aliquot volume
(AV) and the pipette automatically calculates the number of aliquots
possible from the nominal (maximum) volume (NV) of the pipette as
follows:
N = NV/AV
(e.g., 120 μL x 10 for P1200M).
You also can decrease the number of repetitions (e.g., 120 μL x 10-(n
≥
1) for P1200M).
NOTICE
Always fit a tip before using any pipette.
