1 - INTRODUCTION
The LAB MATE Soft is a volumetric instrument designed
to measure and transfer liquids precisely and safely. It
can measure and transfer volumes from 0.1 μl to 10000
μl depending on the model.
The LAB MATE Soft pipettes are equipped with a digital
counter which shows the pipetting volume. The set
volume is visible in the window on the handle. The setting
of the volume is done by turning of the pipetting push-
button knob (Fig. 1A2) or by turning of the black knurled
adjustment knob (Fig. 1B) in the right direction. The
range of the volume of the aspired liquid is shown on the
pipetting pushbutton (Fig. 1A1).
The volume range from 0.1 μl to 10000 μl is covered by
10 pipette models.

The liquid is aspirated into disposable tips attached to
the pipette shaft. Disposable tips ensure maximum safety
and eliminate possibility of crosscontamination of the liquid
samples.
To protect the user from contaminated tips the LAB MATE
Soft is equipped with a built-in tip ejector, (Fig.1D).
The construction of the ejector enables the user to set up
the length. The adjustable tip ejector accommodates
every variety of tips available on the market. When using
narrow tubes, it may be necessary to remove the tip
ejector. It is simply removed by pulling down.
Adjusting of the Tip Ejector Length
- in 2-1000 μl pipettes (Fig. 6A).
The regulated "H" spacers, included in the box allow for
regulating the length of tip ejector by +1mm or +2mm.
An "H0" spacer is inserted on a standard basis. The out-
side shape of the spacer identifies the adjustment.
- in 5000 and 10000 μl pipettes (Fig. 6B).
The length of tip ejector is regulated by screwing in or
screwing out the tip ejector stem with a screwdriver. Turn
the screwdriver counter clockwise to increase the length
of tip ejector, and clockwise to reduce the length of tip
ejector. The ejector can be adjusted in the range of 5 mm.
If above described method of ejector adjustment is not
sufficient or the diameter of the ejector opening is too
