Adjustment - VITLAB micropipette Mode D'emploi

10. Adjustment

The instrument is permanently adjusted for aqueous solutions. If the pipette operation is clearly
inaccurate, or if the instrument must be adjusted for solutions of different densities and viscosities or
specially-shaped pipette tips, adjustments can be made.
1. Check the volume, determine actual value (see page 27).
2. Remove the cover: Push the hook forward, raise it slightly and
then pull it back.
3. Using a paperclip or an unused pipette tip, remove the protec-
tive film (this protective film can be discarded).
4. Push the red adjustment slider completely back, raise the
volume-setting wheel (decoupling) and release the adjustment
slider.
5. Set the adjustment value:
set the volume-setting wheel to the previously determined
actual value. A volume check is recommended after every
adjustment.
6. Push the adjustment slider completely back again, push the
volume-setting wheel downwards and release the adjustment
slider. Re-insert the cover.
Note:
The change to the factory settings is indicated by the red
adjustment slider now visible in the lable window.
