PIPETMAN P ®

The Pipetting Standard

Pipetman P is a fully adjustable, air-displacement pipette with the selected volume shown on a digital indicator (volumeter). Designed and manufactured to provide you with a range of robust, accurate and precise pipettes, eight single-channel models cover the full range of volumes from 0.2 µL to 10 mL.

Easy Maintenance Routine cleaning is all that is required to keep Pipetman in top condition. No lubrication is required. Parts that may come in contact with liquid samples are easy to clean or replace. The tip-holder and tip-ejector are fully autoclavable.

For more details on spare parts, see the application notes insert

12


The standard for Robustness

P2 and P10 equipped with dual position tip-ejector (Ref. F2070903), allowing the use of Diamond D10 (short) and DL10 (long) tips : a plus for protection and precision when using microtubes.

Built to last, constructed of stainless-steel and PVDF (a plastic with very high-resistance to chemical attack).

The standard for Accuracy and Precision Unique “dry seal” technology avoids using grease to obtain adequate air-tightness, and guarantees long-term performances. P5000 and P10ml are safer and more accurate than glass pipettes. They are equipped with a polyethylene filter (Ref. F161241) that prolongs piston life expectancy and prevents contamination.

Thick body (handle) in PVDF to minimize the hand-warming effect during pipetting. Rigorous quality control - each piston is checked using a microscope.

PIPETMAN Neo ®

The Pipetting Standard with Lighter Spring Forces

Pipetman Neo is an evolution of the classic Pipetman P that addresses the growing susceptibility of pipette users to repetitive strain injuries. Pipetman Neo exhibits a distinct enhancement in comfort a wide useful volume-range with the same legendary robustness, accuracy and precision as Pipetman P. Six single-channel models cover a range of volumes from 0.2µL to 1000µL.

Wide Useful Volume Range Wide useful volume range: 10-100% of the nominal volume. Specifications provided at 10%, 50% and 100% of the nominal volume, as recommended by the ISO8655 standard. As for all Gilson pipettes, Pipetman Neo specifications are more stringent than those required for ISO8655 compliance.

ISO 17025 and Gilson Pipettes

Gilson Pipette with a Calibration Certificate Issued by ISO 17025 Accredited Laboratory

Around the world, accreditation of pipette testing and calibration laboratories is based on the ISO 17025 international standard. ISO 17025 accreditation enables test data to be internationally validated and accepted. This system of international mutual recognition allows test data to be equivalent throughout the world because they are linked to the same metrological chain of international standard weight. Hence, the measure of the uncertainties derived from equipment, technicians, pipettes and tips which indicates the error range attributable to the measured quantities allows the accredited laboratory to attest to the pipette’s reliability and ensures that it is within

• Gilson ISO 17025 accredited laboratory in France provides the undisputable guarantee and confidence that our Quality System and Standard Operating Procedures have been thoroughly evaluated and approved by a legitimate third party. • Gilson offers accredited calibration for new and serviced pipettes in full compliance with the ISO 17025 & ISO 8655 requirements. A certificate of calibration, approved by the French organization of accreditation (COFRAC), is delivered with each pipette. The certificate is recognized by international organizations of accreditation. In an on-going effort to address the growing demands for enhanced traceability and affordable ISO 17025 solutions, Gilson has been granted accreditation by the COFRAC for a special Gilson 3 vol. x 4 measurements method shortly after being accredited for the standardized ISO 8655 3 vol. x 10 measurements method. This enables us to offer ISO 17025 calibration at an attractive price.

Pipette Accessories

Quality Accessories for Quality Pipettes

Gilson Reagent Reservoirs

Gilson accessories are of the same high quality as Gilson pipettes. Gilson considers accessories as a part of the pipetting system. All pipettes should be stored vertically to avoid the possibility of liquid running back into, and contaminating or corroding the interior of the pipette.

Carrousel™ Pipette Stand The carrousel holds up to seven Gilson pipettes, all models with tips fitted (except Pipetman Concept®). Its rotating head provides easy access to the desired unit. Carrousel is robust, stable and space saving, making your work bench look neat. Its heavy base prevents toppling over.

Disposable reagent reservoirs are ideal for dispensing reagent with multichannel pipettes (constructed of white polystyrene), two different types are available, 25 mL and 50 mL, standard or sterilized (via Gamma irradiation and individually wrapped). The Gilson Reagent Reservoirs meet stringent criteria of reliability and quality.

Name Tags Personalize your Pipetman Concept and Pipetman Ultra by writing your name and application on one of the colored stickers (protected by the plastic window).

Single™ Pipette Holder Single is designed to conveniently hold all Gilson Pipettes except Pipetman Concept where space is limited (fume hoods, sterile hoods, etc.). Stuck to any smooth, dry surface or fastened with screws, it keeps your pipette within reach. Resistant to chemicals and UV light.

Trio™ Pipette Stand The new Trio stand features enhanced quality and reliability. Its angled, transparent design provides a convenient and secure way to store your Gilson pipettes (any models except Pipetman Concept) with exceptional stability. Its transparent body allows you to see the objects placed behind.

Pipetman Concept Rapid-Charge Stand This robust stand allows to store the Pipetman Concept in an upright position while charging 80% in one hour, fully in two. A second battery block can also be kept charged and available for continuous operation.

Adding Comfort while Fitting and Ejecting Tips Loose tip fitting is a major cause of bad performance. Specifically designed for the Gilson pipettes, the diameter of the tip-collar and tip-holder of the Gilson Diamond tips are calculated to fit perfectly.

Equipped with a high density polypropylene filter, Diamond tips contain no sealing additive which can be released in your sample. Filter porosity has been scientifically determined to constitute an effective barrier against aerosols generated by pipetting tasks. Proven high efficiency. Sterile and non sterile versions are autoclavable to ensure perfect sterility once the rack has been opened.

*ISO 8655 is an international standard for “piston operated apparatus”. ISO 8655 defines, among other things, terms and definitions regarding piston operated pipettes and their testing, testing procedure and maximum permissible errors.

We performed an evaluation of different filter tip brands over a complete aerosol size range of 0.05, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 and 1μm and found that these particles behave as the theory of filtration would predict. By further comparison of the results, we also concluded that although these filter tips are considered of the highest quality available on the market, they behave in a different manner. For example, for 1 μm particle, filter B has an efficiency of 81% as opposed to 98% for Gilson Diamond tip.

Clean Production Environment To avoid any contamination from human contact, the manufacturing process is fully automated. Experienced personnel is equipped with protective clothing to diminish the contamination risks. All Diamond tips are manufactured and packaged in a clean room.

Pipetting Systems, as for all of your laboratory instruments are part of your Quality management.

MICROMAN

®

The Positive Displacement Pipetting Reference

Improve accuracy and reliability with problem liquids

How does it work ? 1. No air-to-liquid interface

Perfect solution for complete and rapid pipetting of viscous and dense liquids such as oil, syrup, cosmetic cream, liquefied food, paint, glycerol or buffers.

2. The desired volume is aspirated rapidly and completely

Unique solution to avoid leakage when pipetting high vapor pressure liquids such as acetone, chloroform, alcohol, hexane or solvents.

3. The positive wiping action of the piston against the capillary wall assures accurate dispensing of even the most viscous sample and avoids any carry-over

Electrophysiology of rat brain cells

“

To measure electrical signals and intracellular calcium concentrations of neuronal cells at the same time, Mr. Kwang-Hyun Cho, PhD, a postdoctoral researcher from the College of Medicine at the Catholic University of Korea, uses a microscope focusing on a perfusion chamber drained by a Minipuls 3. The neuronal cells come from a rat brain slice bathed in a buffer inside the chamber. This buffer is an oxygenated saline solution that ensures the viability of the neuronal cells, which are very sensitive to oxygen.

Applications

MINIPULS 3 ™

Outlet tubing

Inlet tubing

The Minipuls 3 is very convenient for the re-circulation of solutions

”

Minipuls 3

says Doctor Kwang-Hyun Cho when referring to a key benefit of the pump. Engineered with a 10-roller rotor, the Minipuls 3 produces smooth pulse-free flows, which eliminate siphoning or clogging phenomenon, a significant advantage when circulating sensitive neuronal cells.

Study of bacterial biofilm

In the Institute of Biology at the Leiden University, the molecular biology team seeks to identify Pseudomonas (Pseudomonas putida) genes and traits involved in efficient competitive root colonisation in order to understand how bacteria survive, proliferate, and compete in the rhizosphere after bacterisation of seeds. The Minipuls evolution is used to study bacterial biofilms in flowcell chambers. Bacteria grow in flowcell chambers fed by an oxygenated solution and media. The Minipuls evolution is used to bring this solution to the chambers and recycle it.

Pipettes are a staple of most laboratories and probably one of the most extensively used pieces of equipment. The pipette is made of a variety of mechanical and/or electronic parts moving against each other that are often exposed to corrosive or hazardous chemicals. This exposure may result in barely visible damage that may not be discovered unless regular service has been carried out. For example: • The pipette has been tested on the balance, and is imprecise and/or inaccurate. • The pipette leaks after a long period of use. • The pipette leaks after having been exposed to contaminating liquids. • The piston seal and/or O-ring are worn out. • The stainless steel piston is scratched.
