Page 3: Description
Description Pipetman-F single-volume microliter pipettes are excep- tionally accurate and highly reproducible when pipetting volumes from 0.1 µL to 10 mL, and offer simple calibra- tion in the laboratory. Accurate compensation for varia- tions in fluid viscosity and density can be performed with the Calibration Key provided with each unit. -
Page 4: Operation
Operation 1. Attach a new disposable tip to the pipette shaft with sufficient force to make a positive seal. F-1MIC F-10MIC use tips for volumes to 10 µL F-200 use tips for volumes to 250 µL F-201 F-1000 use tips for volumes to 1000 µL F-1001 F-5000 use tips for volumes to 5 mL F-5001... -
Page 5: Tip Selection
Too much retention results in poor accuracy and reproducibility. Specified performance is guaranteed only when Rainin disposable tips are used as recommended. Rainin cannot accept responsibility for poor performance resulting from the use of tips from other manufacturers. - Page 6 Note: The indicator display is calibrated with 10 letters, A thru J. The interval between letters (1/10 full revolu- tion) is marked with five subdivisions. The indicator dis- play is read from left to right. For example, E.4 is a set- ting 4/10 of the distance from E to F.

If you need to dedicate Pipetman-F for a particular solu- tion only (oft-repeated tests), you may wish to retain the setting semi-permanently. Simply record the setting and a solution or test code on the supplied label and place it in the indentation at the top of the handle. Then you can tell at a glance that this pipette has been calibrated to dispense the desired volume of a particular solution. -
Page 8: Pipetting Guidelines & Precautions
1. Never invert or lay Pipetman down if liquid is in the tip. 2. Pipette slowly, holding Pipetman < 20° from vertical. 3. Use Rainin aerosol-resistant tips, with an internal filter which acts as a barrier to aerosols and liquids. -

4. If staining and/or corrosion of the piston is evident (due to previously dried sample material), do not use the instrument. Return to Rainin for service. Note: Never grease any Pipetman components (with the exception of the grease seal on models F-5001 to 10ML prior to serial number N05803D.) -
