With the plunger still depressed, insert tip 1 cm below surface of the sample (avoid foam) .................................. 3. Release plunger slowly allowing tip to fill (quickly releasing the plunger will cause inaccurate filling and may foul pipettor) .............................................................. 4. Remove tip from sample and depress plunger to empty tip back to sample ............................................................. 5.
