Specifications
Speed Controls: The XP Gravity has three settings on each button to set the desired speed range. The top (fill) button features S (slow), M (medium), and F (fast), while the bottom (empty) features S (slow), M (medium), and G (gravity). The fill and empty buttons are independent of each other and can be set at different speeds. The speeds are changed by simply rotating the button until a detent is felt and the letter is upright when held in the right hand. The buttons are also proportional in nature. As with all other Pipet-Aids, the further you depress the button, faster filling or dispensing will result. With both buttons set at “M”, the XP will operate at the same speed as the Portable Pipet-Aid. Rotating the button to “S” will reduce the speed to approximately half of the medium speed while rotating to “F” will double the medium speed. In the case of the XP Gravity, changing the empty button to G will drain the pipette using gravity, and not the pump. DO NOT CHANGE SPEED RANGES WITH LIQUID IN THE PIPETTE.
Changing the Filter & Nosepiece Removal (View a video on the “Maintenance Video” tab): Just like the standard XP, the XP Gravity has a one piece nosepiece that contains the filter and rubber insert. This nosepiece locks into place and will not loosen when removing the pipette. To remove nosepiece, slide the nosepiece release button towards the handle and turn the nosepiece one quarter turn counter-clockwise.
Battery Replacement (View a video on the “Maintenance Video” tab): The battery is contained in the upper portion of the handle. Removal of one Philips screw (B), will enable you to remove the battery compartment door which will give you access to the battery. Use only Drummond replacement batteries (4-000-035). Under normal conditions, these batteries should last approximately 2 years.
Charging the Battery: The Drummond replacement battery is a Ni-MH battery which should be charged overnight following use. No “memory” will be developed and overcharging is not a problem.
Use of the Removable Stand: This lightweight stand slides on to the top of the XP enabling the user to set the Pipet-Aid XP Gravity down without removing or emptying the pipette. The stand will prevent liquid from running back into the nosepiece and prevent the pipette tip from contacting anything thus maintaining sterility. When not needed, the stand is easily removed.
Our Portable Pipet-Aid® XP Gravity shares many features with our standard XP model but with two significant differences. Alongside the burgundy-colored buttons, clip, and nosepiece, the fast setting now features a gravity (G) setting that allows the pipette to dispense its contents without turning on the pump. This method is most familiar with volumetric pipettes.

Both units utilize the same glass capillaries for pulling micropipettes. Due to the new improved method of securing the micropipette, smaller tips can be pulled and utilized on the Nanoject III. No O-rings to wear out. A micro “chuck” is used, and it simplifies attachment of the micropipette once backfilled with oil. The Nanoject III’s auto HOMING feature will eliminate the need to “rehome the unit as in the Nanoject II. This can reduce, if not totally eliminate, jamming of the plunger. Now available for the Nanoject II is the new Digital Control Box which has all the functionality of the original control box but now features a user friendly, easy to read touchscreen.
