1. Introduction
The Axygen®MotoPet® pipet controller is a device intended for pipetting liquids with the
use of measuring pipets. It can work with all types of glass or plastic pipets in the volume
range from 0.5 mL to 100 mL.
Two dispense modes permit selection of dispensing intensity depending on the user’s
needs. The selected setting of the pipet controller mode is shown on the display (Figure 1E)
Figure 1 shows the external parts of the pipet controller with a description of the materials
used. Display indicators are shown in Figure 2.
2. Work Safety Instructions
WARNING! Risk of injury
CAUTION: Risk of damage to the device or errors in pipetting of liquids
Before starting the work with the pipet controller every user should read these operating
instructions carefully.
CAUTION:
• Using the device inconsistently with the operating instructions may result in damaging
the device.
• The device should be maintained only at an authorized service center, otherwise the
manufacturer will be relieved from any liability under the warranty.
• Only original spare parts and accessories, recommended by the manufacturer, shall be used.
• Only the original charger, supplied by the manufacturer, shall be used for charging the
batteries.
• In case of incorrect functioning of the pipet controller, work shall be stopped. The device
shall be cleaned according to section 9 and sent for repair to an authorized service center.
• In the case of mechanical damage to the casing, the device shall be immediately sent for
repair to an authorized service center.
• The use of excessive force during work shall be avoided.
WARNING!
• While working with the pipet controller general safety regulations regarding risks related
with laboratory work should be observed. Protective clothing, goggles, and gloves should
be worn.
• The pipet controller shall be used only for measuring liquids in conditions specified by
the manufacturer, which are limited due to the chemical and mechanical resistance of
the device, as well as the user safety.
• The information and instructions provided by the manufacturers of the reagents must
be observed.
3. Limitations of Use
• The pipet controller should not be used for measuring substances, the vapors of which
damage the following plastics: PP, SI, EPDM, POM.
• The pipet controller should not be used in an environment where explosion risk is present.
• Flammable liquids should not be measured, in particular substances with flash-point
below 0°C (ether, acetone).
• The pipet controller should not be used for drawing acids with a concentration above 1 mol/L.
