Model Identification:
The Pipetman & Pipetman G:
These two models are identical; the Pipetman G has simply been rebranded as the Pipetman. Gilson introduced the Pipetman in 2022, and its serial numbers start with T.
See the picture below for the Pipetman G & Pipetman:
Seal Holder & Piston Assemblies:
Note: All sizes have a yellow seal holder with the exception of the 2µL (P2L).
Pipetman L:
The presence of a finger hook and volume lock are the simplest indicators for identifying this model, as it was the first Gilson pipette to incorporate these features.
Seal Holder & Piston Assemblies:
Note: All sizes have a yellow seal holder with the exception of the 2µL (P2L).
My Pipetman:
This uncommon model offers extensive color customization. Although most parts from the Pipetman L are compatible, they may not match the existing color scheme.
Seal Holder & Piston Assemblies:
Note: All sizes have a yellow seal holder with the exception of the 2µL (P2L).
Pipetman M:
This is the sole electronic pipette in Gilson’s current product line. Two models are available: a standard version and a more recent, Bluetooth-enabled iteration. The connected model is designed for use with Gilson’s connected ecosystem (Trackman, PipettePilot, and Electronic Lab Notebook) and is identifiable by a Bluetooth symbol located on the side of the pipette body.
Pipetman Classic: No longer offered
The previous generations of the Classic are outlined in the following blog post: https://pipette.zenzen1.com/blog-gilson/differentiating-between-different-gilson-pipetman-eras/
The last Classic model that was produced (started in June 2019, Serial #:QG-#####) utilized the Pipetman Neo parts. This included the piston assembly, updated button, and clip style tip ejector.
