MICROPIPETE CALIBRATION ?

[Mark Guiltinan]

Actually, you can use the metal wire from a disassembled small or medium sized
binder clip (same type as used for sequencing gels but smaller).  You can use
the end to insert into the hole of the inner ring on top of the adjustable
dial.  Hold the inner ring still using the clip while turning the outer dial. 
This will change the calibration set.  What do you think, maybe we should
publish this in Biotechniques (ha ha)?

Unfortunatuly, the new generation of Pipetmens by Rainin (in contrast
to the old French? ones) could not be recalibrated without special tools.
