Caution!
Take care to avoid aspirating the liquid into the Pipette Controller
which can impair performance. If liquid is aspirated into the unit,
clean the pipette adapter and nose cone per instructions under
“Maintenance”. If necessary, replace the filter.
Dispensing
Place the pipette tip at an angle against the inside of the receiving
vessel. Slowly press the dispensing button (lower pipetting button).
The dispensing speed is dependent upon the pressure/distance
the button is depressed.
In the “Blow-Out” mode
where the pump speed
slide switch is set to
“High” or “Low”, the
dispensing button
activates the pump to
blow-out all liquid from the
pipette.
In the “Gravity”
mode
(G-on the unit), the
dispensing button does
not activate the pump. The
liquid is dispensed by
gravity. The pipette volume
can be regulated using
various degrees of finger
pressure. This mode is for
“To Contain” pipettes.
