5 - ASPIRATING AND DISPENSING LIQUIDS

Attaching a pipette
CAUTION: Before attaching a pipette check whether the pipette is not damaged, has no
dents or sharp edges in the gripping part. Check whether the gripping part is dry.
The pipette shall be gripped as close to the upper end as possible and carefully inserted
into the pipette holder until resistance is noticed (fig. 3A).
WARNING!
Do not apply excessive force so as not to damage thin pipettes and avoid risk of injury.
A pipette that has been correctly attached and sealed in the holder should not tilt to the sides.
After attaching a pipette hold the device in such a way as to keep the pipettor in vertical
position. It is not recommended to leave the device with a pipette attached for a longer
period, for example overnight or over a weekend.
CAUTION: Do not put aside the pipette controller if there is liquid in the pipette.
