1. Introduction The pipet controller is a device intended for general laboratory use only, for pipetting liquids with the use of measuring pipets. It can work with all types of glass or plastic pipets in the volume range from 0.5 mL to 100 mL. Two dispense modes permit selection of dispensing intensity depending on the user’s needs. The selected setting of the pipet controller mode is shown on the display (Figure 1E).
3. Limitations of Use The pipet controller shall not be used for measuring substances with vapors of which damage the following plastics: PP, SI, EPDM, POM. The pipet controller shall not be used in an environment where explosion risk is present. Flammable liquids shall not be measured – in particular substances with flash-point below 0°C (ether, acetone). The pipet controller shall not be used for drawing acids with a concentration above 1 mol/L.
A pipet that has been correctly attached and sealed in the holder should not tilt to the sides. After attaching a pipet, hold the pipet controller in a vertical position. It is not recommended to leave the device with a pipet attached for a long period, for example overnight or over a weekend. CAUTION: Do not put aside the pipet controller if there is liquid in the pipet.
6. Troubleshooting If during your work the pipet controller is not functioning correctly, check the cause and correct the fault. Problem Possible Cause Action The pipet falls out (the holding force of the pipet is too small), or tilts to the side too much. The pipet holder (Figure 1G) is dirty or wet. Take out the pipet holder, and clean, wash, and dry it. The pipet holder is damaged. Replace the pipet holder with a new one. The pump is working, The filter (Figure 1H) is dirty.
7. Replacing the Filter CAUTION: The work safety instructions given in Section 2 shall be observed when disassembling the pipet controller. If drawing efficiency deterioration is observed, the filter replacement is necessary. The direct reason may be a dirty filter after a long period of use. In order to replace the filter: Remove the pipet. Unscrew the nosepiece (Figure 4.1). Remove the membrane filter (Figure 4.1) and the pipet holder (Figure 4.2).
WARNING: In order to prolong the life span of the rechargeable batteries, the following rules should be followed: Before the pipet controller is activated for the first time, the batteries should be charged. If the pipet controller starts to indicate low battery level during work, connect it to the charger to continue working. Do not leave the pipet controller discharged for a long period of time.
