Note:
ISO 8655 prescribes rinsing the pipette tip once with the sample liquid
prior to the actual pipetting process.
Important!
Don't lay the instrument horizontal when the tip is filled. Liquid may enter
and contaminate the instrument.

Discharge sample
a) Place the pipette tip against the wall of
the vessel. Hold the pipette at an angle
of 30-45° relative to the container wall.
b) Press the pipetting button slowly to the
first stop and hold it down.
For serum and liquids of high viscosity or
low surface tension, observe adequate
waiting time to improve accuracy.
c) The blow-out stroke empties the tip
completely: Press the pipetting button
down to the second stop.
d) While doing this, wipe the pipette tip
against the wall of the container.
e) Remove the pipette tip from the contain-
er wall and let the pipetting button slide
back.
