Page 3: Product Description
1. Product Description The Corning® Lambda™ Plus single-channel pipettor is a volumetric instrument designed to measure and transfer liquids precisely and safely. It can accommodate volumes from 0.1 μL to 1,000 μL depending on the model. Corning Lambda Plus 8-channel and 12-channel pipettors have been designed for microplate filling. - Page 4 “M” to efficiently eject certain brands of pipet tips. Simply place the cap (supplied with the pipettor) on the bottom of the pipettor shaft and slide the cap upwards until it surrounds the bottom of the tip ejector. 2 | CORNING LAMBDA PLUS PIPETTORS...
- Page 5 ±0.6 ≤0.15 The accuracy and precision are obtained gravimetrically using Corning® pipet tips, performing at least 10 measurements of distilled water at a reference temperature of 20°C ± 1°C according to EN ISO 8655 standard. 8-channel and 12-channel Pipettor Ejector The 8- and 12-channel pipettor construction allows the lower 8- and 12-channel modules to be rotated 360°.
