Congratulations on purchasing your new MICROMAN® E
pipette. MICROMAN E is suitable for many different types
of application, including pipetting volatile, viscous, dense,
or high surface tension liquids. It is a quality product from
Gilson, which is fully compliant ISO 8655, CE labeled.
The six models available allow for precise and accurate
pipetting of viscous, dense and volatile liquids. They also
enable contamination-free pipetting, avoiding vapor
contamination and cross-contamination. M25E, M50E
and M250E, with thin and long CPs are especially suited
for use with long or narrow vessels.
Enjoy the following features:
- MICROMAN E pipettes are equipped with a
positive
displacement mechanism
isolating the aspirated
liquid from the pipette body. The positive displace-
ment mechanism prevents the sample-to-sample
contamination that can result from the aerosol effect.
- MICROMAN E uses
disposable capillaries and pis-
tons
. These are the only parts to be in touch with the
aspirated liquids, and replacement thereof will provide
absolute protection against contamination caused
by carryover between samples or reagents. Simply
replace the capillary and piston between assays; they
are ejected automatically and simultaneously, thus
avoiding any risk for the operator.
- MICROMAN E is equipped with a
direct reading
volumeter
that allows precise adjustment of the
required volume. MICROMAN E is permanently
calibrated.
At the manufacturing stage, the capillary and piston
are positioned automatically, and therefore require
no further calibration.
- MICROMAN E requires no lubrication or maintenance,
due to the nature and quality of the materials used in
its component parts.
