Introduction
MyPIPETMAN® is an air displacement pipette that uses
disposable pipette tips. To meet user’s needs, MyPIPETMAN
is available in three offers, each with different levels of
technical and customization options. For more details, please
refer to MyPIPETMAN User’s Guide LT801622 available on
www.gilson.com.
MyPIPETMAN is available as variable volume, either single or
multichannel models.
●Eight single channel models cover a volume range from
0.2 μL to 10 mL.
●Eight multichannel models (4 models of 8 and 12
channels) cover a volume range from 0.5 μL to 300 μL.

Specifications
MyPIPETMAN is a high-quality pipette that has excellent
accuracy and precision, especially when used with PIPETMAN®
DIAMOND Tips. The data given in the “Gilson Maximum
Permissible Errors” table below was obtained using PIPETMAN
DIAMOND Tips. These values are guaranteed only when genuine
PIPETMAN DIAMOND Tips are used.
NOTE
The data given in this table conform to
the ISO 8655-2 standard. With a precise
pipetting technique, the P2 model can be
used to aspirate volumes as low as 0.1 μL
and the P10 model as low as 0.5 μL.

Single Channel Models
AFor P2 and P10 pipettes equipped with a
stainless-steel tip ejector, a dual-position
adapter is required to fit and eject DL10 tips
(long tips) and D10 tips (short tips).
To fit the adapter for short and long tips
(refer to Figure 5):
1. Pull the adapter down from the
stainless steel tip ejector.
2. Turn the adapter 180°.
3. Refit the adapter so that the end of the
stainless steel tip ejector engages the
shorter or longer slot of the adapter.
BFor P2 and P10 pipettes equipped with a
plastic tip ejector, a dual-position adapter
is required to fit and eject D10 tips (short
tips).
To fit a tip ejector extension
(refer to Figure 5):
1. Slide the extension over the tip holder.
2. Push the extension firmly onto the
end of the tip ejector until it clicks into
place.
To remove a tip ejector extension:
1. Gently twist the adapter.
2. Pull it away from the pipette.

Fitting the Tips
It is recommended to use PIPETMAN DIAMOND Tips with
MyPIPETMAN for optimum performance. These tips are
made from pure polypropylene. Plastic tips are for a single
application and should be disposed of after use—please do not
clean for reuse.
Single Channel Models
To fit a new PIPETMAN DIAMOND Tip, push the tip holder
into the tip using a slight twisting motion to ensure a firm and
airtight seal.

Multichannel Models
For P8x10 and P12x10 models, according to the tip used, either
D10 or DL10, you may have to fit the ejector adapter. Long
collar tips can be inserted without it.
1. Remove the tip ejector, keep both ejector locks
depressed 1, and then pull the tip ejector down 2.
2. Fit the ejector adapter 3and click it to the tip ejector.
3. To refit the tip ejector, gently re-insert the tip ejector
vertically into the rails of the ejector support 4.

Pre-Wetting the Tips
Pre-wetting the tips before pipetting helps prepare the tips
for the best pipetting performance. Ideally, the pre-wet
includes both immersing the tip in the liquid and performing
one pipetting step.
Pre-wetting the tips helps ensure that volumes that you pipette
will achieve accuracy and precision within specifications.
Aspirating
1. Press the push button to the first stop (this corresponds
to the set volume of liquid).
2. Hold the pipette vertically and immerse the tip in the
liquid.
3. Release the push button slowly and smoothly to the top
position to aspirate the set volume of liquid.
4. Wait one second and then withdraw the pipette tip from
the liquid. You may wipe any droplets away from the
outside of the tip using a medical wipe. However, if you do
so, take care to avoid touching the tip’s orifice.

Dispensing
1. Place the end of the tip against the inside wall of the
recipient vessel (at an angle of 10° to 40°).
2. Press the push button slowly and smoothly to the first
stop.
3. Wait for at least a second, then press the push button to
the second stop to expel any residual liquid from the tip.
Keep the push button pressed fully, and while removing
the pipette, draw the tip along the inside surface of the
vessel.
4. Release the push button smoothly. Eject the tip by
pressing firmly on the tip ejector button.

Cleaning and Decontamination
MyPIPETMAN pipettes are designed so that the parts normally
in contact with liquid contaminants can easily be cleaned and
decontaminated.
MyPIPETMAN can be sterilized by steam autoclaving at
121°C (252°F),1 bar relative pressure for 20 minutes without
disassembly for maximum convenience as well as protection
from contamination.
