If the pipet tip is not immersed to the recommended depth or if the pipetting pushbutton is rapidly released, air may enter the pipet tip. -
Page 10: Checking Pipetting Accuracy Parameters And Pipettor Recalibration
If during pipettor operation the accuracy error exceeds the permissible value given in the table in Section 5, pipettor recalibration should be carried out. Recalibration of the pipettor involves adjusting the settings according to the table on page 10. 8 – LABNET LABPETTE FX PIPETTORS... - Page 11 Parameters for Checking the Pipetting Accuracy The pipetting accuracy is influenced by factors such as: tips used, characteristics of the pipetted liquid (density, viscosity), and operating conditions (ambient temperature, pressure). To determine the accuracy error of the pipettor, the following conditions should be met: • Ambient temperature and temperature of the pipettor, pipet tips, and liquid should be within the range of 20°C to 25°C and stabilized during weighing within ±0.5°C.
- Page 12 • Calculate the volume in [μL] by multiplying the value in [mg] by the conversion factor Z [μL/mg]. If the average aspirated volume exceeds the permissible values of the range, the pipettor should be recalibrated. 10 – LABNET LABPETTE FX PIPETTORS...
- Page 13 Pipettor Recalibration 1. Remove the pipetting pushbutton. 2. Insert the calibration key into the calibration screw. 3. Turn the key clockwise to reduce the aspirated volume, or counter-clockwise to increase the aspirated volume Use the values given in the above table to precisely adjust the volume.
