Consider the physical properties of your sample<br />

Aqueous samples<br />

Correctly operated and maintained, Pipetman ®<br />

pipettes will give precise results with most<br />

liquids commonly found in the labora<strong>to</strong>ry. If you<br />

have a large number of fractions <strong>to</strong> dispense,<br />

use a Distriman repetitive pipette.<br />

Viscous samples<br />

You may find it easier <strong>to</strong> use a <strong>Gilson</strong> Microman®<br />

pipette. Microman gives reproducible results with<br />

highly viscous samples like glycerol, detergent<br />

and honey. Microman is also recommended<br />

for highly volatile (chloroform) or dense liquids<br />

(mercury) which are often difficult <strong>to</strong> aspirate.<br />

Radioactive and corrosive samples<br />

Microman pipettes are specially designed <strong>to</strong><br />

handle aggressive liquids without danger for<br />

the user or damage <strong>to</strong> the instrument.<br />

DNA, RNA, biological samples<br />

The choice is yours. You can use either a<br />

Pipetman with Diamond ® au<strong>to</strong>clavable filter<br />

tips (0.1 µl - 1 ml) or an au<strong>to</strong>clavable Microman<br />

(Model M10 and M100) with sterilized capillaries<br />

and pis<strong>to</strong>ns. Properly used, these instruments<br />

will assure precise, contamination-free<br />

results. For multiple dispensing, opt for a<br />

Distriman repetitive pipette with a DistriTip gamma-sterilized micro syringe.<br />
