Argos Omega Plus Single Channel Serological Pipettor - Manual (Page 5)

5
The Omega Pipettor is equipped with an LED display that is activated during use. When all
five lights are lit, the pipettor is fully charged. As the battery begins to lose its charge, the
illuminated lights are reduced by one for every 20% loss of battery life. When only one bar
remains illuminated, representing 20% battery power, the pipettor should be recharged.
You can recharge the battery at any time without damage.
Our unique Lithium ION battery is guaranteed for three years without being replaced,
unlike Nickel Cadmium or Nickel Metal Hydride batteries typically provided.
Operating the Pipettor
-
Place the Pipette firmly into the nosepiece to ensure a secure fit.
-
Using the continuously adjusting thumb wheel, you can control the speed of the
aspiration or dispensing of your sample (dial turned left = slower, dial turned
right = faster). This allows the operator to adjust the speed depending on the size
of the pipette and the viscosity of the sample.
-
To aspirate, press the top button. The intensity of finger pressure on the button
regulates the actual working speed.
-
To dispense, depress the bottom button to achieve the reverse effect. By using
variable pressure on the aspirating and dispensing buttons, you can easily control
the meniscus in the pipette.
