Examples of volume settings
for the Pipetman
The volume is displayed as three digits which
are read from top to bottom. The figure on the
left shows the minimum (MIN.) and maximum
(MAX.) volume settings. It also shows examples
of intermediate volume settings (INT.).
The numbers in red represent tenths of
microliters (µl) on the P20 and milliliters (ml)
on the P1000. For the correct correspondance
on the other models, consult your instruction
manual.
