the G-F.I.T. System can be reduced by as much as
half of that of regular tip-holders. Above 40 N, the
ejection force remains at a steady level around 17 N
(example for Pipetman Concept Multichannel 12x300).

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

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.

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

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.

Diamond tips are made from the highest grade virgin
polypropylene to prevent contamination of your
experiments. This polypropylene has high hydrophobic
properties to ensure the lowest possible retention no matter
what liquid is pipetted.
Prevention
of Contamination
Often overlooked as a source of sample contamination, the
pipette tip comes into direct contact with the sample and
may contaminate the solution. Designed to meet the most
stringent demands in various fields and applications such as
PCR, molecular biology or cell technology.

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

notes insert
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.

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

Simplify Repetitive Pipetting
Distriman is a positive-displacement, continuously
adjustable repeater-pipette to simplify multiple
dispensing when used with Gilson DistriTip
syringes.
Direct volume
readout
With the Distriman you can dispense the exact volume,
eliminating tedious calculations.
Only 3 Syringes
are needed
Micro 125 µL, Mini 1250 µL and Maxi 12.5 mL cover the
entire volume range (aliquots from 1 µL to 1.25 mL).
Distriman is the only repetitive pipette available capable of
dispensing more than 100 aliquots.
Wide selection
of packaging options
Each model of DistriTip is available in standard or sterilized
(ST) version, in boxes of 50 syringes. Sterilized DistriTips are
individually wrapped and certified free of RNase, DNase,
DNA, RNA and protease.

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.
Chamber
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.

MINIPULS Evolution
®
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.

The growth media was delivered at 0.125 mL/min to the flowcell system. Elen Lagendijk, technical assistant at the molecular and biology department, says that
one of the outright benefits of the Gilson Minipuls evolution peris-
“
taltic pump is that it enables the operator to replace tubing, add or remove channels while the pump
is running without interrupting the flow in the other chambers…

Services
Gilson Service network
of trained distributors
Pipettes are precision instruments used daily in
routine laboratory work and often involved in critical
laboratory applications. Like any other instrument
they need to be serviced and calibrated regularly to
ensure that they perform to the highest standards.
In line with the ISO 8655, Gilson recommends
All Gilson technicians are highly qualified after
extensive training by Gilson at the factory and share
Gilson’s experience. Their skills are continuously improved
for new or upgraded products. Gilson Service Centers are
routinely audited to check their abilities.
disassembling, cleaning, replacement of worn parts
Gilson preventive maintenance
- repair & calibration services
and checking of the calibration every 6 months or
at least once a year. Gilson is a worldwide network
of specialists present in more than 50 countries
offering a breadth of services to address the
demanding requirements of international standards,
Good Laboratory Practices and internal procedures.
Ultimately, we work to provide you with flexible
solutions to extend pipette lifetime and assure you
the highest level of continued accuracy and precision
at a minimum cost.
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.
Gilson Service Center gives you the
priority
• No surprises, you pay for what is on the
estimate
• We propose various service offers adapted
to your budget
• We guarantee that Gilson genuine spare
parts are used in all repairs
• We guarantee that the personnel is
regularly audited and the equipment
checked daily
44
• The tip-holder or other parts (tip-ejector, push
button, connecting nut, etc) are damaged, chemically
attacked or worn.
Servicing your pipette regularly will provide you peace of
mind regarding its performance and reliability. Gilson offers
flexible service solutions that suit your environment:
• Diagnosis, repairs, and calibration.
• Preventive maintenance contract to implement the
level of service most appropriate to your needs (what,
how often, number of pipettes, cycle time, etc.).
• Calibration by gravimetric method to check the performance of your pipettes according to the ISO 8655 standard,
including ISO17025 calibration with the Calibration certificate delivery, adapted to your budget (see page 18).
