The specifications for accuracy and precision
given in the following table are obtained using
Labnet tips. These figures are only guaranteed
when Labnet tips are used.
BioPette 8 channel
BioPette 12 channel
These specifications are obtained in forward
mode, using a gravimetric method with the tem-
perature of the distilled water, tips and all other
conditions stabilized between 19°C and 21°C.
The values given include all components of
error due to both normal hand warming and
changing of the tips.
Performance tests: The pipette is calibrated in
accordance with EN ISO 8655. Performance
can be verified by checking the pipette using

1 - INTRODUCTION
The BioPette™ series of adjustable multichannel
pipettes have been designed for the filling of la-
boratory microplates. The pipettes enable precise
and simultaneous delivery of 8 or 12 preset-vol-
ume doses of liquid. BioPette™ pipettes are
produced in four ranges of volumes: 1-10 µl,
5-50 µl, 20-200 µl, 50-300 µl.
The BioPette™ pipettes are equipped with a di-
gital counter which shows the pipetting volume.
The set volume is visible in the window on the
handle. The setting of the volume is done by tur-
ning of the pipetting pushbutton knob (Fig. 1A2)
or by turning of the black knurled adjustment
knob (Fig. 1B) in the right direction. The volume
range is shown on the pipetting pushbutton
(Fig. 1A1).
BioPette™ pipettes should be used with poly-
propylene disposable tips, to ensure safety and
accuracy, (Fig. 1H). The shafts without O-rings
ensure the compatibility of the pipettes with a
broad assortment of tips, and the special ejector
shape reduces the force required for their ejec-
tion. In order to protect the user against inad-
vertent contact with used tips, the pipettes are
equipped with tip ejectors, (Fig. 1F). By turning
the multichannel module clockwise in relation
to the handle, (Fig. 2), it is possible to disable
the ejector’s operation in order to avoid acci-
dental use, or to change its position in such a
way as to make filling of microplates more con-
venient.
