1. LIST OF FUNCTIONS
1. Dosing button
By pressing the dosing button down to the stop, the adjusted volume is dispensed
2. Adjusting wheel
By moving the adjusting wheel into the position 1 to 5, the requested dos-
ing volume is set in compliance with Table 1.
3. Filling slide
By pushing the slide upwards, the syringe is filled up.
4. Stopping lever
The stopping lever is used to secure the syringe
inserted.
5. Syringe
2. SELECTING THE VOLUME
• Use Table 1 to look for the requested dosing volume first of all.
• The position, to which the adjusting wheel (2) has to be set, is given in the topmost line.
• For the suitable size of syringe (5), please refer to the left-hand column.
• Table 1 shows the syringe selection possibilities as to the volume and number of the
required doses.

3. MINILAB SET-UP
Inserting the syringe
• Push the filling slide (3) right down to the stop.
• Push the stopping lever (4) upwards.
• Exert a slight pressure to insert syringe (5), which has to lock into place.
• Push the filling slide (3) down a bit, and press down the stopping lever
(4) which has to lock the syringe in its place (5).
• Use the adjusting wheel (2) to set the required dosing volume.
Please observe:
• Syringe 25 ml and 50 ml should be inserted in the Minilab 201 with the
adapter (enclosed) to attach the adapter to the syringe place it on the
syringe, and fasten by turning (bayonet socket). After use of the
syringe, the adapter can be removed again and can be reused as
often as required.
• Syringe 0.05 ml may be used only with the pipetting tip 10 µl in its place.
4. FILLING AND DOSING
1. Filling the syringe
• Immerse the tip of the syringe into the liquid.
• Fil the syringe by slowly pressing the filling slide (3) upwards.
• Dispense the first dosing step.
Please observe:
• In order to prevent a negative pressure and a saturation of the liquid with minute air bubbles
when filling the syringe; the filling slide should by pushed up slowly.
• An air bubble which might be in the upper part of the cylinder will have no influence on the
accuracy if a the last dispensing step is not carried out.
• Syringe should not by filled up completely.
• Syringe 0.5 ml, 1.25 ml and 2.5 ml can be used with the yellow or transparent 200 µl pipet-
ting tips fixed filling from vessels with narrow necks is thus facilitated, and the dosing of
smaller volumes will be more precise.
2. Dosing
• Check the volume setting at the adjusting wheel (2).
• Wipe the tip of the syringe with a lint-free cellulose wadding.
• Place the tip of the syringe at an angle to the wall of the vessel.
• Press the dosing button (1) down to the stop.
Please observe:
• The syringe should be changed when the reagent is changed.
• In order to return the residual liquid into the vessel press the filling slide (3) down slowly to
the stop.
