sec. after the aspiration and the blow out
stroke.
If in extreme cases this method of operation
does not result in accurate values, a
compensation could be achieved as follows :
Weigh the liquid pipetted when the pipette is
set to the nominal volume.
Then calculate the set-off from the nominal
volume :
weight of liquid
Corr. val. 2 nom. val.
density of liquid
Check this operation once again and correct
if necessary. Note the corrected value for
further pipetting the same kind of liquid.
6 PIPETTE TIPS
High quality tips are made from high
performance polypropylene and their quality
guarantees the precision and accuracy
associated with the pipette. Strict control is
maintained throughout the manufacturing
process to ensure the highest quality.
The accuracy and precision figures for the
pipette are only guaranteed when quality
tips are used. The use of inferior quality tips
will seriously degrade the performance of
the pipette.
Some tips are colour coded and correspond
to the colour on the pushbutton.
White tips 10
These tips are used for volumes between
0.2 l and 10 l. They are used with the
PIP 2, PIP 10 models.
Yellow tips 200 and white tips 200 with
reference markers
