1 - INTRODUCTION

The OPTIPETTE series of adjustable multichannel pi pettes
have been designed for the filling of la bo ratory micro -
plates. The pipettes enable preci se and simultaneous
delivery of 8 or 12 preset-volume doses of liquid.
OPTIPETTE pipettes are pro du ced in four ranges of
volu mes: 0,5-10 μl, 5-50 μl, 20-200 μl, 50-300 μl.
The OPTIPETTE pipettes are equipped with a digital co -
un ter which shows the pipetting volume. The volume is
adjusted by turning the black knurled adjustment ring and
is continuously adjustable within the volume range for the
pipette, (Fig. 1B). The maximum volume of the pipette is
shown on the side surface of the handle.
OPTIPETTE pipettes should be used with poly propylene
disposable tips, to ensure safety and accuracy (Fig. 1H).
The shafts without O-rings ensure the compatibility of the
pipettes with a broad assortment of tips, and the special
ejector shape reduces the force required for their ejec-
tion. In order to protect the user against inadvertent con-
tact with used tips, the pipettes are equipped with tip
ejectors (Fig. 1F).
The pipette construction allows to rotate the multichannel
module and to eject the tips through 360°, therefore, the
1
most convenient position may be selected to fill the
microplates. It is recommended to turn the module clock-
wise, (Fig. 2).
The specifications for accuracy and precision given in
the following table are obtained using HTL tips. These
figures are only guaranteed when HTL tips are used.

The specifications for the volumetric performance
are derived from extensive gravimetric tests according to
EN ISO 8655 standard.
Condition of measurments: distilled water at tem perature
20±1°C
The pipette design enables the user to perform the recalibra-
tion process according to the rules presented in section 5.
