• epTIPS long
In addition to the "standard tips", a second longer tip is available for most pipettes.
When epTIPS long is selected, the tip geometry of this longer tip is taken into account
in the internal volume calculation. This reduces the systematic error of dispensing
when using these tips.
The epT.I.P.S. specified here are also available as ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S.
• Altitude
The aspiration volume of a piston-stroke pipette is reduced at increased altitudes,
which entail a fall in air pressure. The average air pressure at the corresponding height
is used to correct the stroke. The altitude can be selected in 250 m (820 ft) increments.
The maximum selectable height is 5 000 m.
The pipette is set to an altitude of 0 m upon delivery. This is the factory setting.
For the following adjustments, you must know the exact density of the solution to be
dispensed. The recording of the weighing results requires the use of a fine balance with a
high resolution. Dispensing volumes below 10 µL require a balance with a resolution of
0.001 mg. An existing 1-3 point adjustment can be changed.
