Assembling the Probe

For Standard Use

In standard use the probe is used with the 2 mL

tapered transfer-tubing (see opposite figure).
1. Thread the tapered end of the transfer-tubing

through the plastic ‘tunnels’ in each of the 5 pre-

mounted cable supports (see figure below).

2. Lay the tubing on the probe’s groove such that

about 4 cm of the tapered end protrudes from

the end of the probe.

3. Push the tubing into the groove in the probe at

the 3 round access points using (for example)

the rounded end of a pencil. Do not press on the

tubing with your fingernail.

4. Push the tapered end of the tubing through the

standard tip, then screw the tip onto the end of

the probe.

5. Plug the end of the control cable into the socket,

labeled ‘PROBE’ at the back of the 402.

6. Fit the clamp for probe at the right-hand side of

the 402 (see opposite figure).

7. Mount the probe on the clamp.
8. Connect the other end of the tubing to the outlet

of the Valve (Single-syringe) or the Tee-junction

(Dual-syringe).

9. Use the 402 Software to check (and change, if

necessary) the configuration using the Conf

(Vol) menu.

Adapter Kit for Disposable Tips

The ability to use Diamond Tips will extend the use

of your 402 into the biological field, where protec-

tion against cross-contamination is important, and

in the chemical field to protect the tubing from

corrosive liquids.

You must fit a tip-holder to the probe when you

want to use Gilson’s Diamond tips. An adapter kit

(reference F4015015) is available to permit you to

fit them to the probe. The kit includes two sizes of

tip-holder (with built-in tip ejector), and a special

non-tapered 2 mL transfer tubing, as follows.

Assembling the Probe

When you want to increase the

length of tubing protruding

from the probe, you must first

carefully lift the tubing out of

the handle, otherwise you will

damage the tubing.
