4. Getting Started 4.2.2 Basic Operating Instructions 4.1 Initializing When button is switched ON, AQUA is supplied with a partially charged battery. LCD will display “ PRESS PIP”. However, it is recommended to fully charge the (Fig. 4.2A) battery for at least an hour before first use. (Fig.
5. Operations and Pipetting Modes 5. Press the pipetting key again to dispense the liquid. There are 4 major pipetting modes: Pipette mode, Manual mode, Aspirate mode, and One can also dispense the lesser Multi/Stepper mode. amount than aspirated. Adjust the required volume using the volume 5.1 Pipette Mode adjustment wheel.

Calibration Check Points: It also increases the humidity resulting in less evaporation (evaporation can cause significant sample loss). This pre-rinsing operation should be repeated when the volume to be aspirated is changed or when a new tip is used (Table 6) 8.2 Aspirating and Dispensing Liquid Place a tip on the shaft of the 7.
