1 - INTRODUCTION
The FASTPETTE pipette controller is designed for pipetting liquids with serological pipettes.
The device works with all types of glass and plastic serological pipettes in the range of 1 ml
to 100 ml.
The
FASTPETTE
is equipped with replaceable membrane filters that protect against cross
contamination. The filters also prevent contamination of the mechanism by reagent vapors.
The
FASTPETTE
features a two speed control system which enables very fast dispensing
of large volumes and precise measuring of small volumes.
Fig. 1 shows the external parts of the pipette controller and a description of the materials
used in the construction.
2 - WORK SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before operating the FASTPETTE , all users should read these instructions carefully.
Using the pipette controller a manner inconsistent with the operating instructions may result
in damage to the device.
Any required repairs to the FASTPETTE should be performed at an authorized service center.
Repair elsewhere may void the warranty.
• While using the FASTPETTE , follow general laboratory safety guidelines. Protective clothing,
goggles and gloves should be worn.
• The FASTPETTE shall be used for measuring liquids only in the manner specified in this
manual. Liquids to be measured are limited by the chemical and mechanical resistance
of the device, as well as user safety.
• The pipette controller should not be used in environments where there is a risk of explosion.
• Information and instructions provided by the reagent manufacturer must be observed.
• Use only original spare parts and accessories.
• Only the original charger, supplied by the manufacturer, should be used for charging the
battery and powering the device.
• If the pipette controller malfunctions, discontinue use immediately. Clean the device in
accordance with the operating instructions and contact the manufacturer for repair.
• Avoid excessive force while using the pipette controller.
3 - LIMITATIONS OF USE
• Substances that damage PP, SI, ABS, EPDM and POM should not be measured with the
FASTPETTE.
• The pipette controller shall not be used in environments where a risk of explosion is present.
• Flammable liquids shall not be measured – in particular substances with a flash-point
below 0 °C (ie ether, acetone).
• The pipette controller shall not be used for drawing acids with a concentration above 1 mol.
• The pipette controller shall not be used with substances with a temperature above 50°C.
• The ambient operating range of the pipette controller is +10 °C to +35 °C.
