1. Introduction
The pipet controller is a device intended for pipetting liquids with the use of measuring
pipets. It can work with all types of glass or plastic pipets in the volume range from 0.5 mL
to 100 mL.
Two dispense modes permit selection of dispensing intensity depending on the user's needs.
The selected setting of the pipet controller mode is shown on the display (Figure 1E).
Figure 1 shows the external parts of the pipet controller with a description of the materials
used.
Display indicators are shown in Figure 2.

The pipet controller is suitable for general laboratory use only. It must be used only by
personnel who know the health risks associated with the substances that are normally
used with this instrument.
4. Switching on
The pipet controller is switched on by pressing any of the buttons (Figure 1A, B, C, D).
The display will show the selected aspiration mode, dispense mode and the batteries
level indicator. Examples of the display indications are shown in (Figure 5). The batteries
are discharged and require charging if the indicator does not display "bars" (Figure 5.4).
When the batteries are fully charged, the indicator displays three “bars” (Figure 5.1).
• The pipet controller switches off automatically if not used for 5 minutes.
• The pipet controller may be charged only with the original charger.
• The mains voltage shall conform with the specification on the charger.
• Charging shall be done in accordance with section 8 of the instruction manual.
5. As irating and dis ensing liquids
Attaching a pipet
CAUTION: Before attaching a pipet, check whether the pipet is not damaged, has no dents
or sharp edges in the gripping part. Check whether the gripping part is dry.
The pipet shall be gripped as close to the upper end as possible and carefully inserted into
the pipet holder until resistance is noticed (Figure 3A).
WARNING!
Do not apply excessive force so as not to damage thin pipets and avoid risk of injury.
A pipet that has been correctly attached and sealed in the holder should not tilt to the sides.
After attaching a pipet, hold the pipet controller in a vertical position. It is not recommended
to leave the device with a pipet attached for a longer period, for example overnight or over
a weekend.
CAUTION: Do not put aside the pipet controller if there is liquid in the pipet.

Filling the pipet
Before aspirating is started, set the speed by pressing the SPEED switch (Figure 1C) until
the display shows the correct speed (Figure 1E).
• HIGH speed - fast aspirating (Figure 2.1),
• LOW speed - slow aspirating (Figure 2.2).
It is recommended to set the LOW speed when working with pipets of volumes up to 5 mL,
and the HIGH speed for pipets of volumes greater than 5 mL. Holding the pipet controller
in a vertical position, immerse the pipet end in the liquid to be drawn up (Figure 3B),
and press the aspiration button gently. The speed depends on how deep the aspirating
button has been pressed. The deeper the button is pressed the faster the liquid is aspirated
into the pipet.
It is recommended to draw a slightly greater liquid volume than required (due to meniscus
above the required volume mark), adjusting the aspiration speed, so as not to overfill the
pipet.
Setting the volume
After the pipet is filled, dry the outside surface with absorbent paper that does not leave
impurities. Then set the required liquid volume precisely. Pressing the dispense button gen-
tly (Figure 3C), dispense the excessive liquid from the pipet until the meniscus of the liquid
aligns exactly with the required volume mark on the pipet.
Emptying the pipet
Holding the vessel in an inclined position, place the pipet end in contact with the vessel wall
and press the dispense button gently (Figure 3C). The dispensing intensity may be adjusted
depending on how deep the dispense button has been pressed. The deeper the button is
pressed the faster the outflow of liquid from the pipet.
The pipet controller has two dispense modes. The dispense mode is selected by successive
pressing the MODE switch (Figure 1D) until the display shows the correct mode (Figure 1E).
• Gravity mode marked with the icon on the display (Figure 2.4) – dispensing is effected
in gravity mode, which means that the liquid flows out of the pipet by its own weight.
• Blow out mode marked with the icon on the display (Figure 2.5) – dispensing is effected
in gravity mode, however, when the dispense button is pressed to the middle position,
the pump is started and fast emptying of the pipet with a blow out is effected.
CAUTION:
During gravimetrical dispensing the pipet is not completely emptied due to the characte -
ristics of pipets used with the pipet controller.

The direct reason may be a dirty filter after a long period of use.
In order to replace the filter:
• Remove the pipet.
• Unscrew the nose piece (Figure 4A).
• Remove the membrane filter (Figure 4A) and the pipet holder (Figure 4B).
• Rinse the holder using a wash bottle (Figure 4C).
• Blow liquid out of the holder and set it aside until it is completely dry.
• Install new membrane filter (Figure 4D) and assemble the device in reverse order.
8. Charging the batteries
CAUTION!
The pipet controller may be charged only with the original charger. The main voltage must
conform with the specification on the charger.
Using chargers other than the original one may damage the battery.
The pipet controller is delivered with 3 NiMH type AAA batteries.
The batteries can be replaced easily if necessary after the battery cover is taken off
(Figure 1K). The manner in which the batteries are arranged is shown in Figure 8.
Cha ging:
1. Charging temperature: 10°C to 35°C.
2. Charging the battery is carried out through a charger (power supply) by direct connection
to the main power. Batteries charging is indicated by successive lighting of “bars”.
3. Full charging time: 7 to 8 hours.
4. The batteries are charged when all 3 “bars” are displayed simultaneously
(Figure 5.1).
When the batteries are charged, the charging circuit disconnects automatically.
The service life of the batteries: approx. 1,000 charging cycles, if used correctly.
It is not possible to overcharge the batteries if all instructions of the manufacturer
are followed.

WARNING!
If disposable batteries are used, it is unacceptable to connect the device to the charger.
In order to prolong the life span of the rechargeable batteries, the following rules should
be followed:
1. Before the pipet controller is activated for the first time, the batteries should be charged.
2. If the pipet controller starts to indicate low battery level during work, connect it to the
power supply to continue working.
3. Do not leave the pipet controller discharged for a long period of time.
4. In case of a planned longer break in using the device, it is recommended to remove
the batteries from the battery compartment or charge them every few months.
9. Maintenance
Cleaning
The pipet controller does not require any maintenance. Its external parts may be cleaned
with a swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol.
The nose piece and the pipet holder may be autoclaved at 121°C for 20 mi nutes.
After autoclaving, dry the pipet holder. The filter included in the set may be sterilized
by autoclaving at 121°C for not more than 15 minutes.
Ult a violet (UV) ste ilization
The outer body of the pipet controller is UV resistant, which was confirmed by many tests.
The recommended distance from the radiation source to exposed element should be not less
than 50 cm.
Prolonged and very intense UV exposure can cause de-coloration of pipet controller parts,
without affecting its performance.
