  If the tips on your Gilson Laboratory Equipment pipette are falling off or not fitting correctly, several factors could be at play. It might be due to using low-quality tips, in which case you should replace the tip. Alternatively, the tip holder or tip ejector could be damaged. If the tip holder is damaged, replace the tip. If the tip ejector is damaged, ensure the ejector spacer is correctly placed on the tip ejector. Lastly, check if the ejector lock is misaligned; if so, align it properly.

  If the tips fall off or do not fit correctly on your Gilson Laboratory Equipment pipette, it might be due to low-quality tips. Try using Gilson DIAMOND tips. Another reason could be damaged tip-holders, in which case you should replace the tip-holder. Also, a damaged tip-ejector can cause this issue, so consider replacing the tip-ejector.

  If your Gilson Laboratory Equipment pipette is leaking sample, it could be due to a damaged tip holder, in which case you should replace both the tip holder and the tip. Another potential cause is worn O-ring or seal parts, and the solution is to replace the tip.

  If your Gilson Laboratory Equipment pipette is leaking sample, it could be due to a damaged tip-holder, which requires replacing the tip-holder. Alternatively, the O-ring or seal might be worn, in which case you should replace both parts.

Why is Gilson PIPETMAN P pipette not precise?
- M
  Mr. Paul Medina Jr.Aug 29, 2025
  If your Gilson Laboratory Equipment pipette is not precise, it could be due to several reasons. The tip-holder or connecting nut may be loose; in this case, tighten the connecting nut. It may also be due to incorrect operator technique, and operator training is needed. Damaged or corroded pistons can also cause this, so return the pipette to the supplier. Also, damaged tip-holders can cause this, so replace the tip-holder. Finally, a worn O-ring or seal may be the cause, so replace both parts.

  If your Gilson Laboratory Equipment pipette won’t aspirate, it could be due to a worn O-ring (replace both parts), a damaged tip-holder (replace the tip-holder), or a loose connecting nut (tighten the connecting nut). A damaged or corroded piston could also be the cause, requiring you to return the pipette to the supplier. Improper repair or assembly could also cause this problem.
