By holding the START button down during dispensing
the piston will stop in the lowest position. This
allows the tip to be placed under the liquid surface
or against the bottom or the wall of the container
during dispensing. Once the liquid is dispensed, the
tip can be removed from the container and the START
button released.
10.2. Dispensing Without Blow-out
The pipette will not perform the blow-out function
in modes rP, P MANUAL, d, Ad, and Sd. Therefore it
is recommended that dispensing in these modes is
always performed with the tip set against the wall or
bottom of the container.
10.3. Other Recommendations
- Hold the pipette vertically when aspirating the
liquid and place the tip only a few millimetres into
the liquid.
- Pre-rinse the tip before aspirating the liquid by
filling and emptying the tip for three to five times.
This is important especially when pipetting liquids
with a viscosity and density greater than water.
- Check that the pipette, tip and liquid are at the
same temperature.
- To avoid the contamination, do not rest the pipette
on its side especially when the tip attached.
- Change the Safe-Cone Filter regularly.
- Always place the pipette in the charging unit
when not in use.
- Never strike the tip cone against the tip tray when
mounting the tips as this can damage several
internal components.
- Do not use excessive force when mounting the
tips as this can hamper the tip ejection.
- Avoid rough handling, light pressure is all that is
required when using the keyboard or mounting
the tips.
- Do not drop the pipette or charging unit as this
may cause excessive shock.
-
Avoid exposing the unit to extreme temperature
changes, humidity and dust (operating temperature
from 15°C to 40°C and maximum humidity 80%).
