5.3 Principle of operation
Every pipette is equipped with different operating modes and a primary mode for
configuring the pipette. The adjustable parameters and operational procedures differ in
the operating modes.
During operation, the piston in the pipette is moved according to how the rocker is
actuated. When you press the rocker up, the piston in the pipette moves up. Liquid is
aspirated into the attached pipette tip. When you press the rocker down, the piston in the
pipette moves down. The liquid in the pipette tip is dispensed.
Press the Edit softkey to open the edit mode of the selected operating mode. Here, you
can use the rocker to change the parameter that is outlined and marked red.
5.4 Selecting the operating mode
The following operating modes are available:
Special operating sequences with an electric pipette are possible with
dispensing using the rocker. For example, you can cancel a piston movement in
the Dis, Pip and P/M modes at any time by pressing the rocker in the other
direction. You can cancel the piston movement in the Ads and Man modes by
releasing the depressed rocker. After the piston has been stopped, you can
continue the aspiration or dispensing process by pressing the rocker in the
corresponding direction.
If the piston is in the basic position, you can repeat the blow-out (Blow) at any
time by pressing the rocker down.
The pipette software is available in several languages. To change the language,
change the Language parameter in the options.
