Adjustment of the factory calibration must only be performed using a special calibra- tion key (Figures 3 and 5G).

Be sure to change tips between volume setting adjustments and to pre-rinse each new tip. When the PiPetman Fixed is read- justed to compensate for a particular solution, the original setting (ex. 0.2) can be noted on the self-adhesive labels supplied (Figure 4).
PiPetman diamOnd tips are made to the highest specifications, strict quality control is maintained throughout the manufacturing process. these tips are used to calibrate PiPetman Fixed, therefore for optimum performance we recommend using PiPetman diamOnd tips with your PiPetman Fixed.

PiPetman Fixed. • Make sure to operate the PiPetman Fixed slowly and smoothly. • When aspirating, keep the tip at a constant depth below the surface of the liquid. • The PiPetman Fixed should be held in the vertical position. • Change the tip before aspirating a different liquid, sample or reagent. • Change the tip if a droplet remains on the end of the tip from the previous pipetting operation.
• Dispense the sample into its original vessel. • Ensure that the tip is properly immersed in the sample liquid. • Aspirate the sample more slowly. if the bubble appears a second time, replace the tip. the outside of the PiPetman Fixed can be cleaned using a cloth dampened with isopropanol.
