Inspect the pipette tip cone for damage.
Inspect the piston and O-Ring-seal for contamination.
Test the instrument‘s piston seal. We recommend using the BRAND leak
testing instrument PLT unit. Alternatively: to do this, affix a tip, and as-
pirate a sample. Hold the instrument vertically, with the sample in the tip
for approximately 10 s. If a drop forms at the tip orifice, see the trouble-
shooting guide on page 46.
