Volume ranges and increments are shown below:
Pipet-Lite Range (µL) Increment
Volume Adjustable Recommended µL
2 µL 0 to 2 0.1 to 2 0.002
10 µL 0 to 10 0.5 to 10 0.02
20 µL 0 to 20 2 to 20 0.02
100 µL 0 to 100 10 to 100 0.2
200 µL 0 to 200 20 to 200 0.2
1000 µL 0 to 1,000 100 to 1,000 2.0
2000 µL 0 to 2,000 200 to 2,000 2.0
5000 µL 0 to 5,000 500 to 5,000 5.0
10 mL 0 to 10 mL 1 mL to 10 mL 20.0
20 mL 0 to 20 mL 2 mL to 20 mL 20.0
Filter
Pipet-Lite 5000 µL, 10 mL, and 20 mL pipettes use a filter in
the end of the shaft to help prevent liquid entering the shaft
and contaminating the piston, should the plunger snap up
during aspiration. Using such a filter is particularly important
when pipetting large volumes. Replace the filter if it gets wet.
Figure 2 Filter Orientation
The 5000 µL and 10 mL pipettes use the same filter oriented
as shown in the diagram above:
5000 µL: insert the small diameter into the shaft.
10 mL: insert the large diameter into the shaft.
Filter part numbers are 6190-164 (pack of 100) and 6190-
165 (pack of 1000).
The filter for 20 mL is a cylinder. Filter part numbers: 6190-
221 (pack of 100) and 6190-222 (pack of 500).
Tip Selection and Mounting
Always use RAININ tips with Pipet-Lite pipettes. Pipet-Lite
pipettes are calibrated with RAININ tips, and performance to
published specifications can only be guaranteed when RAIN-
IN tips are used.
To mount a tip, press the Pipet-Lite shaft into the end of the tip
with light force. The tip will seal properly on the shaft with
minimal force — do not use more force than is required.
