Maintenance
The outside of BioPette E may be wiped clean with 60% Isopropanol, 70%
ethanol or mild detergent, and then wiped dry with a lint-free cloth. If the
pipette is severely contaminated or if very corrosive chemicals are
dispensed, the lower part of the BioPette E should be disassembled. The
individual parts should be rinsed in distilled water and then air dried. For
complete information on proper disassembly of the BioPette E, contact
Labnet’s service department.
It is recommended to
clean the BioPette E
at regular intervals depending on
how much the pipette is used, as well as
lubricating it once per year. If the
pipette is autoclaved often, you may need to lubricate the pipette more
frequently. Lubrication of the piston should be performed only by
authorized Labnet service personnel, or trained users, and only the proper
BioPette E lubricant available from Labnet International should be used*.
For complete information on proper service of your BioPette, contact
Labnet International’s Service Department.
It is recommended to check the performance of your BioPette E regularly
(e.g. every 3 ~ 6 months) and always after maintenance or service. More
frequent testing of the BioPette E may be desired depending upon
requirements of the application, frequency of use, number of operators
using the pipette, nature of the liquid dispensed and the acceptable
maximum permissible errors established by the user (ISO 8655-1). For
more information of BioPette E calibration procedures, users are welcome
