INTRODUCTION

The ergonomically designed MICROMAN® E

positive-displacement pipettes, along with

disposable capillary piston (CP) tips, provide

the highest precision when pipetting viscous,

volatile, or non-aqueous liquids. Capillary pistons

eliminate the air cushion between the sample and

disposable piston, ensuring the accuracy of the

pipette is not affected by the physical properties

of the sample.

Positive-displacement technology is the ideal

solution to prevent from aerosol contamination

or sample carry-over, thus protecting the pipette,

the user, and the sample.

MICROMAN E is available as variable volume

single-channel models, with six models covering

a volume range from 1 to 1000 µL. M25E, M50E,

and M250E, with thin and tall capillary pistons

(CPs) are especially suited for use with tall or

narrow vessels.

Designed with comfort in mind, MICROMAN E is

a must for every workflow and application thanks

to its main features:

●QuickSnap system for a direct fitting of the

CPs: fitting is as easy as fitting a tip on an air

displacement pipette

●Improved ergonomic handle shape that rests

comfortably in hand

●Volume control switch to avoid any

accidental volume change when pipetting

●Complete and reliable pipetting of

challenging fluids: performances remain

unaffected by the physical properties of the

fluids, or at different temperatures

●MICROMAN E and CPs are the strongest

barrier against residual sample

carryover, aerosol contamination, and

cross-contamination. They provide a triple

protection: you, your sample, and your

pipette are protected.

Speciﬁcations

MICROMAN E is a high quality pipette that offers

excellent accuracy and precision. The figures

provided in the Gilson Maximum Permissible Errors

on page 8, table were obtained using Gilson CPs.

These figures are only guaranteed when using

genuine Gilson CPs.

Each pipette is inspected and validated by qualified

technicians according to the Gilson quality system.

Gilson declares that its manufactured pipettes

comply with the requirements of the ISO 8655

standard, by type testing. The adjustment is carried

out under strictly defined and monitored conditions

(ISO 8655-6):

●Basis of adjustment, Ex.

●Reference temperature, 20°C

●Relative humidity, 50%

●Barometric pressure, 101 kPa

●Use of distilled water grade 3 (ISO 3696)

●Ten measurements for each test volume,

which are nominal volume, 50% of nominal

volume, and the minimum or 10% of nominal

volume.

Performance Tests

Each pipette is inspected and validated according

to the Gilson quality assurance system. Based

on extensive historical data, manufacturing

conditions, and expertise, and in compliance with

ISO standards relative to statistical process control,

the assurance level of this instrument performing

to specifications is 99.8%. Specifications rely on

quality and consistency for the whole pipetting

system and are guaranteed only when the pipette is

used with Gilson capillary pistons.

NOTE

Pre-wetting the CP before pipetting helps

prepare the CP for the best pipetting

performance. Pre-wetting the CP helps ensure

that volumes that you pipette will achieve

accuracy and precision within speciﬁcations.

FITTING THE CAPILLARY PISTON

10 FITTING THE CAPILLARY PISTON | MICROMAN® E

CP25, CP50, and CP250 Bulk

The capillaries and pistons are delivered in two

separate boxes.

To fit a capillary piston:

1. Take care not to

damage the sealing

tip 1when handling

the piston 3.

2. Select a piston 3

and slide it into the

capillary 4.

3. Gently push the

capillary until it snaps

onto the capillary

holder.

4. Attach the stem 2

by slowly pressing

MICROMAN E’s push

button until you feel

and hear a slight click

and then continue to

press to the first stop.

5. Pre-wet the CP, and

then aspirate the

liquid.

Never lubricate the capillary holder,

capillary, or any other part of the

pipette. If the capillary tends to slip

o the capillary holder, clean the

capillary holder with ethanol, using

a medical wipe or similar soft tissue.
