7 PIPETTING SPEED CONTROL
PIPETMAN M is set by default on speed 6. You may need to change the speed of aspiration or dispensing
depending on your application. You can change aspiration speed and dispensing speed independently
of one other: from very slow to very fast (speed 1 – speed 6). Your speed selection is memorized for
each pipetting mode until you change it again.
