Gilson PLATEMASTER P220 Manual Pipetting System
The Gilson PLATEMASTER P220 Manual Pipetting System is an easy-to-use, accurate solution for high-throughput manual pipetting of 96- and 384-well microplates. The PLATEMASTER’s 96-channel design greatly reduces the number of pipetting steps necessary to fill a microplate when compared to using regular manual multichannel pipettes. When using PLATEMASTER, the time it takes to fill 96-well plates is significantly reduced to approximately 10-20 seconds or less, and 384-wells can typically be filled in less than a minute using only four pipetting steps (requires F1077602 or F1077603 384-Well Adapter).
Using the PLATEMASTER for higher throughput applications reduces the risk of human error. In a single motion, accuracy and precision levels can equal that of an 8- or 12-channel pipettes, while avoiding the risk of skipping or repeating wells. Additionally, all enzymatic reactions and cell-based applications across all wells can be started and stopped at the same time. From 2 uL to 220 uL pipetting volumes, users can expect improved well-to-well and plate-to-plate reproducibility. The PLATEMASTER is as intuitive as the PIPETMAN series and does not require programming, long training, or power for use. Through a variety of accessories, such as adapters for loading 384-well microplates, reagent reservoirs, or sample heater blocks, the Gilson PLATEMASTER can be fully adapted to a variety of application needs. Its compact and portable design easily integrates into the lab, allowing it to fit on most benchtops, under hoods, or in cold rooms.
All of our equipment will be fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.

- Thoroughly inspect and clean all internal components, identifying and replacing any damaged or compromised parts
- Replace all essential wear components, including O-rings, seals, tip holders, and friction rings, to ensure optimal performance
- Examine plunger and seal holders for signs of rust, wear, or damage, replacing components as necessary for operational integrity
- Verify that no leakage is present by aspirating a sample and observing for any fluid loss
- Confirm that the Mettler Toledo AB104-S balance is precisely calibrated for accurate pipette calibration measurements
- Perform a detailed gravimetric calibration, recording all findings in the comprehensive calibration report
- Ensure that all external parts are meticulously cleaned and free from any foreign contaminants
- Test the tip ejector for smooth and reliable operation, addressing any misalignment or obstruction
- Affix a dated calibration sticker to indicate recent and verified calibration
- Conduct a detailed cosmetic inspection, confirming that all surfaces and finishes meet established quality and aesthetic standards
