Matrix Equalizer 384 Pipette:
1. To set the tip spacing for the vessel with the widest spacing, depress the
outer set button (the button closest to the control rod) using your finger or
thumb.
2. While depressing, slide the set button to the desired tip-to-tip spacing
marker on the window. Release the set button to lock the spacing.
3. Check the spacing by using the control rod to slide the tips into position.
The spacing indicator in the window will also move and will nest into the set
button when the desired position is achieved.
4. For the vessel with the tightest spacing (from 4.5 mm - the spacing for 384
well plates), depress the other set button using your thumb or finger and
repeat steps 2 and 3.
Note: On 8-Channel Equalizer 384 pipettes, there is a notch (see figure C.1
Position C) located on the control rod that indicates the 9 mm position for
easier aligning of the control rod for 96-well plates. By applying pressure to
the front side of the control rod, the notch can be by-passed for smoother slide
operation. Conversely, when pushing or pulling the control rod past the 9 mm
position, if pressure is applied to the back side of the control rod, the notch is
more noticeable.
Important: Do not attempt to slide the set button(s) without depressing.
Moving the set button(s) without first disengaging will cause premature wear
on the mechanism.
Important: Do not attempt to disassemble the unit. Please contact our
Technical Service Department at 800-345-0206 (US) or +44(0) 161 486 2112
(Europe) for all service-related issues.
