For each of the protocols listed you can perform the following actions. Simply select the protocol
and click on one of the buttons:
• View: view a protocol. No parameters can be changed in the "View mode".
• Edit: edit a protocol (change the VWR Electronic Pipette model, rename protocol, add/edit/
remove tasks).
• Clone: clone a protocol (if you are creating a similar protocol, cloning will save time).
• Export: export a protocol to a .pmp file and store it on the computer.
• Export to pdf: create a summary of the protocol in the form of a print-ready pdf document.
• Delete: delete a protocol.
Alternatively, you can perform these actions by right-clicking on a desired protocol.
Editing protocol is also available by double-clicking the selected protocol.
5.3 Importing a protocol:
You can add protocols to the Manage custom protocols by importing a previously created
protocol (.pmp files).
Click on Import a protocol from file button, navigate to the .pmp file and click Open.
The protocol is then available in Manage custom protocols.
5.4 Practical tips for creating custom protocols:
If you have existing protocols, cloning and modifying them will save you time.
VWR Protocol Builder Software enables you to easily create a similar protocol on a different
VWR Electronic Pipette model. Simply clone the protocol and change the VWR Electronic Pipette
model. If necessary, modify the volume of transfers to fit volume specifications of the new VWR
Electronic Pipette model.

Transferring custom protocols to the pipette
To transfer a protocol to a VWR Electronic pipette, click the Transfer custom protocols to pipette
button and follow the instructions on the screen:
1/ Connect pipette to the PC via USB cable and click Next. Note: should the pipette not be
recognized immediately, disconnect the USB cable, reconnect it and click Try again button. If a
pipette is already correctly connected when Transfer custom protocols to pipette button is clicked,
this step is skipped.
2/ By default, the protocols for the connected VWR Electronic Pipette model are listed. You can
access the protocols created for other VWR Electronic Pipette models by selecting the model from
the Show protocols for pipette model
3/ Select a protocol in the list and click Finish.
4/ If a pipette is locked, transferring protocols will unlock it. For that purpose, a pop-up window
appears, where you can confirm that you would like to transfer the selected protocol, unlocking the
pipette in the process.
