6. Pipettor Operation
Attaching the Tips
• Attach the correct tip corresponding to the model number
displayed on the pipettor pushbutton (Section 5).
• Position the pipettor vertically when attaching tips.
• Single-channel pipettors: push the pipet tip on firmly
using a slight twisting motion to ensure an airtight seal.
• Multi-channel pipettors: press the pipettor against the
tips positioned in the rack box until the shaft retracts
approximately 1.5mm into the manifold. The suspension
system ensured even and airtight sealing of the pipet tips.
The rocking motion does not have to be performed to seal
the pipet tips tightly.

NOTE:
• Do not attach the tips with a rocking movement,
as this may damage the shaft or plunger.
Observe this
rule particularly with single-channel pipettors of low
volume range.
• Never draw liquids directly into the pipettor without
the tip attached.
Adjusting the tip ejector
The tip ejector can be adjusted by the user and can
accommodate most types of tip available on the market.
When using narrow tubes, it may be necessary to remove
the tip ejector.
