Gilson Pipetman M – Calibration/Adjustment

Note: You do not need any special tools to complete the adjustment for the Gilson Pipetman M.

Recommend Supplies:

1. Balance
2. Pipette Tips

Step 1:

Make sure the pipette has enough battery life before proceeding to the next step.

Step 2:

Start by turning on the pipette by pressing down on the dispense button.

Step 3:

Prior to adjusting the pipette, collect 2-3 data points at each test volume (low, middle, and high) on the balance. The data will be used in Step 7.

Step 4:

After the data points have been collected, click on the blue triangle button.

Step 5:

Turn the adjustment wheel counter-clockwise to “Configuration” and press down on the dispense button.

Step 6:

Turn the adjustment wheel counter clock-wise to “Adjustment” and press down on the dispense button.

Step 7:

The standard readjustment utilizes a 3-point calibration (low, middle & high). Using the data collected in step 1, get an average value in microliters for each test volume.

Step 8:

 Click the dispense button (the current setpoint value will flash) to modify the low point value and adjust to the calculated average value by turning the adjustment knob. Once the value is set, click the dispense button to lock in the value.

Step 9:

To move to the middle & high test points, turn the adjustment knob clockwise. Repeat the same process in step 8 for the middle and high averaged values.

Step 10:

After all values are entered, turn the adjustment knob clockwise to “Click to confirm”. Click the dispense button. This will cause the pipette to restart.

Note: There is an option to perform a factory reset of the calibrated values. To begin, complete steps 1 through 6. After completing step 6, turn the adjustment knob clockwise to select “Reset settings.” The prompt “Click to confirm” will appear on the screen. Press the dispense button to confirm and complete the factory reset.

Step 11:

Use the balance to check the pipette now that the adjustment has been made.
