Calibration
2. Calculate display volume of the pipette:
V p = Programmed Volume
V a = Corrected Actual Volume (corrected for temperature)
C p = Calibration Point (each pipette handle has a unique calibration
D v = Display Volume
3. Enter the CAL mode on the pipette by pressing the Special Function key
(use a pipette tip to press the key) until "EASY" appears on the display.
4. Press the [Vol] key to display "CALC" (pressing the [Vol] key again will
return you to the "EASY" mode).
5. Press the [Enter] key to display the calibration point.
6. Press the [Vol] key to enter the Display Volume (D v ) calculated above in
step 2.
7. Press the [Enter] key to set the calibration point. The display shows "CAL"
then "SET" to confirm the new calibration point, and returns to the current
pipetting program.
Example: Calibrate a 1250 µl 8-channel pipette.
Water temperature = 24 °C
Programmed Volume (Vp) = 1000 µl
Average of Actual Volume = 990 µl
Corrected Actual Volume (Va) = 990 x 1.004 = 994 µl
Calibration Point (Cp) = 1000
