5.2.5 Manual pipet mode
Application: This mode can be used when the aspiration volume is not defined or
unknown. You have control over the aspiration and dispense steps and can view the
display to confirm how much liquid has been aspirated or dispensed. Manual control over
the dispense steps is perfect for performing titrations or for controlling the loading of
samples in gel lanes.
Operation:
• When aspirating, the motor will stop when you release the RUN key or when the
programmed aspirate volume is reached.
• You can change pipetting direction at any time even if aspiration volume is not reached.
Change the direction of pipetting by pressing OK on the Direction option. The notation
on the display changes between (Aspirate) and (Dispense).
• The volume remaining in the tip(s) is displayed.
