Changing the adapter
A total of 3 adapters are available
Adapter 1: already premounted,
for testing single-channel pipettes up to 10 ml
with a mounted pipette tip
Adapter 2: included in the delivery,
for testing single-channel pipettes without a pipette tip
Adapter 3: available separately (optional), for testing of multi-channel
pipettes with or without a pipette tip, wherein all 4 channels are
tested simultaneously. The 4-channel adapter can be used for
4-, 8- and 12-channel pipettes.
When a leak is detected, three channels can be closed with
plugs. The leaking channel can be determined through subse-
quent single-channel testing.
During multi-channel pipettes testing, the tips can be allowed
to remain in the adapter when the instrument is disconnected.
These can be removed simply by hand, or left inserted for the
next test.
