Eppendorf Xplorer® (plus) — Operating manual
5.13 Special operating modes
The Xplorer plus pipette also features 5 additional special operating modes (see p. 21). If you
have never worked with the Xplorer pipette, we recommend becoming familiar with one of the
simple operating mode first, e.g.,
Pipetting or Dispensing . If you turn the selection dial to the Spc
dial setting, the special operating modes will be shown in a selection list in the display.
5.13.1 Multiple aspiration (Aspirate) (Spc dial setting)
A specific volume will be aspirated in the Multi-Aspirate mode several times. All of the liquid will
be dispensed after the aspiration. The Multi-Aspirate mode is the opposite of the dispensing
mode.
