1 - INTRODUCTION
The AXYPET series of adjustable multichannel pipettes has
been designed for the filling of laboratory microplates. The
pipettes enable precise and simultaneous delivery
of 8 or 12 preset-volume doses of liquid.
AXYPET Multichannel Pipettes are produced in four ranges
of volumes: 1-10 μl, 5-50 μl, 20-200 μl and 50-300 μl.
AXYPETS are equipped with a digital counter which
shows the pipetting volume. The set volume is visible in
the window on the handle. Volume setting is performed by
either turning the lower section of the pipetting pushbutton
(Fig. 1A2) or the black knurled adjustment knob (Fig. 1B)
in the appropriate direction. The volume range for each
model is shown on top of the pipetting pushbutton (Fig.
1A1).
AXYPETS should be used with polypropylene disposable
tips, to ensure safety and accuracy, (Fig. 1H). The shafts,
which do not require O-rings, ensure the compatibility
with a wide range of manufacturer's tips, while the special
ejector shape reduces the force required for tip ejection.
To protect the user against accidental contact with used
tips, AXYPETS incorporate tip ejectors, (Fig. 1F). The
pipette construction allows the lower multichannel module
to be rotated through 360°. This allows the user to disable
the ejector to avoid accidental use and to change its
position to make filling of microplates more comfortable
and convenient. It is recommended to turn the module
clockwise.

The specifications for the volumetric performance are
derived from extensive gravimetric tests according to EN
ISO 8655 standard.
Condition of measurements: distilled water at temperature
20±1°C.
The pipette design enables the user to perform the
recalibration process according to the rules described in
section 5.
