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.

SETTING THE VOLUME
6SETTING THE VOLUME | MyPIPETMAN®
Chapter 2
SETTING THE VOLUME
The volume of liquid to be aspirated is set using the volume display. The dials are colored either black or
red to indicate the position of the decimal point, depending on the model (refer to Figure 4 below).
Volume selection differs according to your configuration. To obtain maximum accuracy when setting the
volume, proceed as follows:
●When decreasing the volume setting, slowly reach the required setting, making sure not to
overshoot the volume mark.
●When increasing the volume setting, pass the required value by 1/3 of a turn and slowly decrease to
reach the volume, making sure not to overshoot the volume mark.

PIPETTING
Fitting the Tip Ejector Adapter
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 7):
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 7):
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.
Multichannel Models
For P8x10 and P12x10 models, according to the tip used, either D10 or DL10, you might 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.
NOTE
Long tips can be used without tip ejector adapter.

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.

NOTE
D5000 and D10mL PIPETMAN DIAMOND Tips do not have any filter. P5000 and P10mL
models are sold with a bag of 10 filters. Bags of filters are also available as accessories. Refer to
ACCESSORIES page.
The filters, made of polyethylene, oer the same properties as the filters which are inside the
PIPETMAN DIAMOND filter tips. They maintain the pipette’s original accuracy and precision by
creating an ecient barrier to aerosols or corrosive vapors such as acids which could damage
mechanical parts.
Insert the filter directly in the pipette tip holder.
Change the filter every day or more frequently depending on the intensity of use and/or
concentration of the solution.
Filters are not autoclavable and must be disposed of after use.

ROCKY RACK technique
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.

MyPIPETMAN® |USER’S GUIDE
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 (refer to Guidelines for Good Pipetting).
3. Release the push button slowly and smoothly to the top position to aspirate the set volume of liquid.
4. Wait one second (refer to Guidelines for Good Pipetting) 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.
NOTE
For the multichannel models, use a reagent reservoir.
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.

●Change the tip before aspirating a different liquid, sample, or reagent.
●Change the tip if a droplet remains at the end of the tip from the previous pipetting operation.
●Pre-wet each new tip with the liquid to be pipetted.
●The liquid should never enter the tip holder; to prevent this:
○Press and release the push button slowly and smoothly.
○Never turn the pipette upside down.
○Never lay the pipette on its side when there is liquid in the tip.
●If you use the same tip with a larger volume, pre-wet the tip.
●For volatile solvents, saturate the air cushion in your pipette by aspirating and dispensing the
solvent repeatedly before aspirating the sample.
●When the liquid temperature is different from the ambient temperature, pre-wet the tip several
times before use.
●You may remove the tip ejector (refer to Fit the Tip Ejector Adapter) to aspirate from very narrow
tubes.
●After pipetting acids or other corrosive liquids that emit vapors, remove the tip ejector and tip
holder, rinse with distilled water, dry, and lubricate the piston (refer to MAINTENANCE). For the
P1000L model, use a specific tip holder equipped with a filter to increase the lifetime of the piston
(refer to ACCESSORIES).
●Do not pipette liquids with temperatures above 70°C or below 4°C. The pipette can be used
between +4°C and +40°C, but the gravimetric performance may vary according to the temperature
(refer to the ISO 8655-2 standard for conditions of use).
