5.3 Principle of operation
Every Xplorer pipette is equipped with various operating modes and a primary mode for
configuring the Xplorer pipette. The adjustable parameters and operational procedures differ in
the operating modes.
During operation, the piston in the pipette is moved according to how the rocker is actuated.
When you press the rocker up, the piston in the pipette moves up. Liquid is aspirated into the
attached pipette tip. When you press the rocker down, the piston in the pipette moves down. The
liquid is dispensed into the pipette tip.
Press the
Edit softkey to open the edit mode of the selected operating mode. Here, you can use
the rocker to change the parameter that is outlined and marked red.
Hint!
Special operating sequences with an electric pipette are possible with dispensing with the rocker.
For example, you can cancel a piston movement in the Dis, Pip and P/M modes at any time by
pressing the rocker in the other direction. You can cancel the piston movement in the Ads and
Man modes by releasing the depressed rocker. After the piston has been stopped, you can
continue the aspiration or dispensing process by pressing the rocker in the corresponding
direction.
If the piston is in the basic position, you can repeat the blow-out (
Blow ) at any time by pressing
the rocker down.
Hint!
The pipette software is available in several languages. To change the language, change the
Language parameter in the options (see p. 47).
