• Select dialog page "DOSIMATS".
• Set parameter V.tube in of the desired Dosino to 0.7 mL.
• Set parameter V.tube out of the desired Dosino to 4.8 mL.
• Take pipetting handle by hand and put it into the waste beaker with the
pipetting tip down.
• Select desired Dosino with the cursor keys <ç> or <è> and press
<Prime Dosimat>: The cylinder is filled and excess solution is expelled to
the waste beaker. All tubings up to the pipetting tip will have been filled at
the end of the initializing procedure.

Use pipetting handle for preparation of diluted solutions
• Select dialog page "DOSIMATS".
• Select desired Dosino and set parameters C.init std, C.end dilution
and V.end dilution for preparing a diluted solution (details see section
5.3.3).
• Put the pipetting handle into the waste beaker so that the pipetting tip is
at about the same level as the container with the concentrated solution
(e.g. standard) and press the softkey <Start dilution>.
• If the dilution is carried out for the first time or if the previous dilution has
been terminated by <ESC> (see below), the message Preparing
Dosimat #X appears. Press the black button on the handle.
• After automatic aspiration of the dilution solution from the reagent bottle
the message Aspirating standard appears. Put the pipetting handle
into the concentrated solution with the pipetting tip immersed ca.
1…5 mm and press the black button on the handle.
• After aspiration of the concentrated solution the message Dispensing
solution appears. Put the pipetting handle into the desired void con-

Use pipetting handle in an operation sequence
• Make sure that the 700 Dosino with the connected pipetting handle is
connected to the "Dos.1" socket of the 746 VA Trace Analyzer.
• Enter the desired dispensing instructions for which the pipetting handle
should be used on the "OP. SEQUENCE" and/or "SEGMENTS" page. If
you enter a solution name Soln.name for this solution, make sure that no
Dosimat or Dosino is assigned for this solution on the "SOLUTIONS" page
(parameter Pos. must be empty). The following dispensing instructions
are allowed: SMPL>M, CSOLN>M, ADD>M, RADD>M, DOS>M, PDOS>M, SDOS>M.
• Start program by pressing the <START> key.
• If the desired dispensing instruction is executed, the message for manual
dispensing appears (e.g. DOS "SOLN.name" V.add" > M ).
