NOTE
• The pipettor is designed for the transfer of liquids
only in the tip. Do not draw liquids without the tip
attached. The aspirated liquid should not get inside the
pipettor, as it may damage the pipettor.
• The single use of the tip reduces the risk of contamination
of samples.
• Keep the pipettor clean, avoiding the use of aggressive
substances (e.g., acetone) for cleaning purposes.
• Do not place the pipettor horizontally if there is liquid
in the tip.
• Only using the pipettor in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions ensures the correct pipettor
parameters are maintained.
• After replacing the plunger or the shaft, the pipettor
should be calibrated.
• In the case of incorrect operation, the device should
be cleaned in accordance with the instructions for use
or transferred to a service point.
• Ambient operating temperature: -5°C – 45°C
• Ambient storage conditions: -25°C – 55°C
When working with the pipettor:
• Follow general work safety regulations regarding hazards
related to work in the laboratory.
• Take special care when pipetting aggressive substances.
• Use protective clothing, goggles, and protective gloves.
• Avoid pointing the pipettor with the tip attached and
filled at yourself or at others.
• Only use parts and accessories recommended by the
manufacturer.
5. Specifications
The pipettor is a high quality instrument which offers
excellent accuracy and precision. The accuracy and
precision (repeatability) of the liquid volume depends on
the quality of pipet tips used. The values for accuracy and
precision shown in the table below were obtained using
Corning® pipet tips. It is recommended to use these tips
to obtain proper compatibility with the pipettors and proper
parameters of accuracy and precision of the aspirated liquid.
