Eppendorf Xplorer® (plus) — Operating manual
2.4 Features
The Xplorer pipettes are motorized and electronically controlled piston-stroke pipettes designed
to aspirate and dispense liquid volumes according to the air-displacement principle. The Xplorer
pipette family includes single-channel and multi-channel pipettes (8 or 12 channels). Depending
on the Xplorer pipette, you can dispense volumes ranging from 0.5 μL to 10 mL. The liquid is
aspirated into a pipette tip which is attached to the Xplorer pipette.
The main control element of the Xplorer pipette is a rocker. The color of the rocker differs
depending on the volume range of the Xplorer pipette. It has different functions during dispensing
operations and in the dispensing parameter editing mode. The rocker can either be pressed up or
down.
The lower parts of the Xplorer pipettes are autoclavable.
For all Xplorer pipettes from 10 μL to 1 000 μL nominal volumes, the tip cone responds with
spring-loading action when a pipette tip is attached.
