PIPETTING

While many brands of tips can be used with
the PIPETMAN® Classic, it is recommended
to use PIPETMAN® DIAMOND for optimum
performance. These tips, made from pure PIPETTING
polypropylene have the Gilson logo engraved
on their collar, ensuring that you have a genuine
Gilson product. Plastic tips are for a single
application—they must not be cleaned for reuse.
PIPETMAN Classic can also be used with the main
tip brands.
Fit the Tips
To fit a new PIPETMAN DIAMOND tip, push the
tip holder into the tip using a slight twisting
motion to ensure a firm and airtight seal.

For the P2 and P10 models, a dual-
position adapter (plastic) is required
NOTE to fit DL10 tips (long tips) or D10 tips
(short tips). The metallic rod of the tip
ejector is shaped so that the adapter
may be clipped to it in either position.

P2 and P10 models
are delivered with
the adapter in place,
positioned in the longer
slot, and ready to use
Dl10 tips. When D10 tips
(which are shorter) are
used, the adapter must
be repositioned in the
shorter slot as follows:
1. Pull the adapter
down from the
metallic rod.
2. Turn the adapter short long
180°. tips tips
3. Refit the adapter so Figure 5
