SMART PIPETTE - USER GUIDE
Forward Pipetting
1. Press the operating knob to the first stop.
2. Dip the tip under the surface of the liquid in the reservoir to a depth
of about 1cm and slowly release the operating knob. Withdraw the
tip from the liquid touching it against the edge of the reservoir to
remove excess liquid.
3. Dispense the liquid by gently
pressing the operating knob to
the first stop. After a delay of
about one second, continue to
press the operating knob all the
way to the second stop. This ac-
tion will empty the tip.
4. Release the operating button to
the ready position. Change the tip
and continue pipetting.

Reverse Pipetting
The reverse technique is suitable for dispensing liquids that have
a high viscosity or a tendency to foam easily. The technique is also
recommended for dispensing very small volumes.
1. Press the operating knob all the way to the second stop.
2. Dip the tip under the surface of the liquid in the reservoir to a depth
of about 1cm and slowly release the operating knob. This action
will fill the tip. Withdraw the tip from the liquid touching it against
the edge of the reservoir to
remove excess liquid.
3. Deliver the preset volume by
gently pressing the operating
knob to the first stop. Hold the
operating knob at the first stop.
Some liquid will remain in the tip
and it should not be dispensed.
4. The remaining liquid should
either be discarded with the tip
or should be dispensed back into
the reagent reservoir.
