1 - INTRODUCTION
The OPTIPETTE is a volumetric instrument de signed to
measure and transfer liquids precisely and safely. It can
measure and transfer volumes from 0.1 μl to 10000 μl
depending on the model.
The OPTIPETTE pipettes are equipped with a digital
counter which shows the pipetting volume. The volume
is adjusted by turning the black knurled adjustment ring,
(Fig.1B), and is continuously adjustable within the vol-
ume range for the pipette. The maximum volume of the
pipette is shown on the side surface of the handle.
The volume range from 0.1 μl to 10000 μl is covered by
10 pipette models.

The liquid is aspirated into disposable tips attached to
the pipette shaft. Disposable tips ensure maximum safety
and eliminate possibility of cross contamination of the liquid
samples.
To protect the user from contaminated tips the OPTIPETTE
is equipped with a built-in tip ejector, (Fig.1D).
The construction of the ejector enables the user to set up
the length. The adjustable tip ejector accommodates
every variety of tips available on the market. When using
narrow tubes, it may be necessary to remove the tip
ejector.
Adjusting of the Tip Ejector Length
- in 2-1000 μl pipettes (Fig. 6A)
The regulated "H" spacers, allow for regulating the
length of tip ejector by +1 mm or +2 mm. An "H0" spacer
is inserted on a standard basis. The outside shape of the
spacer identifies the adjustment.
- in 5000 and 10000 μl pipettes (Fig. 6B).
The length of tip ejector is regulated by screwing in or
screwing out the tip ejector stem with a screwdriver. Turn
the screwdriver counterclockwise to increase the length
of tip ejector, and clockwise to reduce the length of tip
ejector. The ejector can be adjusted in the range of 5 mm.
If above described method of ejector adjustment is not
sufficient or the diameter of the ejector opening is too
large to dispose the tip it is necessary to put the ejector
cap "M" onto the ejector, (Fig. 6C).
