Mounting The Holder; Using The Stand; Pipetting; Adjusting The Nozzle - Heathrow Scientific Rota-Filler 3000 Manual De Instrucciones

Mounting the Holder

For storage, insert the Rota-Filler
3000 ® in the wall holder.
Mounting options:
1. The magnetized holder will grip a
metal surface to provide support for
the Rota-Filler 3000 ® .
2. Wall mount the holder with the
included screws.

Using the Stand

For charging, place the
Rota-Filler 3000 ® in either
of the two orientations. The
Rota-Filler 3000 ® can be
charged in either position.
When the Rota-Filler 3000 ®
is placed with the handle
lying down, a pipette can
stay within the controller
within the stand during
charging. Do not place near
doors or the edge of
benchtop.

Pipetting

Adjusting the Nozzle

Press back the nozzle release button on the top of the Rota-Filler
3000 ® to adjust the pipet nozzle for maximum comfort and
convenience. The wide-angle position is ideal for restricted spaces
such as a fume hood. The smaller-angle position works well for tight
benchtop applications.

Attaching the Pipette

Prior to attaching the pipette,
inspect the pipette's top end for
damage. A chipped pipette may
damage the silicone pipette adapter.
Holding the pipette as near to the
top as possible, carefully push it
into the nose cone for a secure fit.
Caution!
Do not use force when inserting the pipette.
Excessive force can cause the pipette to break.
Use extra caution when inserting thin pipettes.
Once the pipette has been securely attached,
always hold the Rota-Filler 3000 ® in a
vertical position with the pipette tip facing
down.

Filling the Pipette

Set the pump speed with the pump speed
slide switch on the top of the Rota-Filler
3000 ® . Set on high speed for use with large-
volume pipettes or low speed for use with
small-volume pipettes. Select the gravity
mode for "to contain" pipettes for low speed
aspiration and gravity-driven delivery.
Immerse the pipette tip into the liquid. Slowly
press the aspirating button (upper pipetting
button). The speed of aspiration is dependent
on the amount the button is depressed. Fill
the pipette so that the meniscus is just above
the desired volume.
