Specifications
NOTE
MyPIPETMAN is a high-quality pipette that offers excellent accuracy and precision especially with
PIPETMAN DIAMOND Tips. The data given in the “Gilson Maximum Permissible Errors” table were
obtained using PIPETMAN DIAMOND Tips. These values are guaranteed only when genuine
PIPETMAN DIAMOND Tips are used.
Each pipette is inspected and validated by qualified technicians in accordance with the Gilson quality
system. Gilson declares that its manufactured pipettes comply with the requirements of the ISO 8655
standard by type testing.
The adjustment is carried out under strictly defined and monitored conditions (ISO 8655-6).

The data given in this table conform to the ISO 8655-2 standard. With a precise
pipetting technique, the P2 model can be used to aspirate volumes as low as 0.1 μL
and the P10 model as low as 0.5 μL.

NOTE
SETTING THE VOLUME
The volume of liquid to be aspirated is set using the volumeter. The dials are colored either black or red to
indicate the position of the decimal point, depending on the model (refer to Figure 3 below).
Volume selection differs according to your configuration. To obtain maximum accuracy when setting the
volume, proceed as follows:
● When decreasing the volume setting, slowly reach the required setting, making sure not to overshoot
the volume mark.
● When increasing the volume setting, pass the required value by 1/3 of a turn and then slowly decrease
to reach the volume, making sure not to overshoot the volume mark.
