When using multiple size pipettes use the following guidelines when loading the
Washer Dryer.
1. Load the tallest pipettes first and locate them to the rear with the smaller
pipettes near the front.
2. When loading larger pipettes, try the smaller holes in the Tube Guide
Assembly first.
3. When loading smaller diameter or short pipettes, try the larger holes in the
Tube Guide Assembly first.
4. If the pipette does not fit into the Tube Guide Assembly do not force it,
instead try the other size hole.
5. For best results, pipettes should be loaded so that they do not touch each other,
the back splash or the clear cover during a wash cycle.
6. For best results try to wash similar size pipettes at the same time.
7. For best results load the pipette washer as full as possible for each wash.
Washing small numbers, especially of small pipettes can be done and will
clean but may not allow for the bubbling action during the wash and rinse
segments.

Labconco LabSolutions Non-foaming Liquid Detergent is recommended for use
with the ScrubAir Pipette Washer Dryer. The unit was shipped with a dispensing
pump, which when used with the 1 Gallon LabSolutions Liquid Detergent, will
dispense approximately 1/8oz (4ml) per pump. Use detergents sparingly. Start
with 1/8oz (4ml) to 1/4oz (8ml). Too much detergent, particularly with softened
water may cause etching of the glassware, which appears as a permanent cloudy
film on the glassware. See Appendix A for ordering information for the detergent.
Use 1/8oz (4ml), if the water hardness grains per gallon (GPG) for your water
measures 0-4 GPG (soft water). Use 1/4oz (8ml), if your water measures 4 GPG
or higher (medium to hard water). With the pipettes loaded and the clear lid
removed, dispense the detergent directly into the wash sump.
