AUTOCLAVING
1.
Eject the pipette tips.
2.
Unscrew the manifold from the grip (see page 28).
3.
Autoclave the complete manifold without any further
disassembling.
4.
Allow the manifold to completely cool and dry.
5.
Screw the manifold into the grip again (see page 28).
6.
Perform a reference run (rEF).
The manifold (M) of the ErgoOne
®
E -8/-12 (highlighted in picture)
is autoclavable at 121 °C (250 °F), 2 bar absolute (30 psi) with a holding time
of at least 15 minutes, according to DIN EN 285.
The handgrip can not be autoclaved!
The effectiveness of the autoclaving must be
verified by the user.
Maximum reliability is obtained with vacuum
sterilization. We recommend the use of steril-
ization bags.
REFERENCE RUN (REF)
1.
Bring up rEF mode
2.
Perform the
reference run
Simultaneously press the
MENU and the ENTER key to
activate the rEF mode.
Press the pipetting key once
to start the reference run. A
noise can be heard,
clearly indicating the func-
tion is being performed.
A manual reference run must be completed each time the manifold is reattached
to the handle. The reference run is needed to assure secure connection of the piston.
After the reference run, the display automatically returns to the previous program.
If the manifold is autoclaved frequently, then the pistons should
be oiled with the supplied silicone oil in order to provide smooth-
er movement.
