1 INTRODUCTION
The pipette is a volumetric instrument
designed to measure and transfer liquids
precisely and safely. It can measure and
transfer volumes from 0.2 l to 5000 l
depending on the model.
The pipette has a digital counter which
displays the volume. The volume is adjusted
by turning the black knurled adjustment ring,
Fig. 1B, and is continuously adjustable
within the volume range for the pipette. The
maximum volume of the pipette is shown on
the push-button and corresponds to the
model number. Fig. 1A.
The volume range from 0.2 l to 5000 l is
covered by seven pipette models.

The pipette uses disposable polypropy-lene
tips. Fig. 1E. The disposable tips ensure
maximum safety for the user and avoid
cross contamination between samples. To
protect the user from contaminated tips, the
pipette is equipped with a built-in tip ejector.
Fig. 1D.
When using very narrow test tubes, it maybe
necessary to remove the tip ejector. It is
simply removed by pulling it away from the
pipette.
