Performance Specifications
The following values are obtained using a defined
protocol. If this protocol is followed, the obtained
values must be inferior or equal to the listed figures.

Protocol
Configuration: 1 mL tubing for volumes up to 1 mL,
tapered transfer-tubing of 2 mL (standard accessory)
for volumes up to 2 mL, 5 mL or 10 mL tapered
transfer tubings are used for volumes up to 10 mL.
Transfer of de-ionized water using the Pipette Task,
aspiration of liquid from a vial and delivery at the
same flow rate into another vial containing water.

The values are obtained by
pipetting de-ionized water
(grade 3, ISO3696) at 21 °C ± 0.5 °C,
relative humidity > 50 % and
athmospheric pressure 1013 MPa.
