Acids and Corrosives
After pipetting concentrated acids or highly corrosive
solutions, disassemble Pipet-Lite and inspect and
clean the piston assembly, shaft, and seal with dis-
tilled water. Dry all components thoroughly and
reassemble.
Extensive contact with corrosive fumes may result in
premature seal wear and damage to the piston. Expo-
sure of internal components to corrosive fumes can
be reduced by using Rainin tips with aerosol barrier
filters.

Note: It is recommended to use only genuine Rainin
replacement parts such as seals and shafts. It is NOT
necessary to recalibrate the pipette after changing the
seal or shaft.
Recalibration of the pipette is only necessary when the
piston is replaced, and should be done by qualified
factory-trained personnel in the appropriate facility.
