Always follow the autoclaving instructions below.
11.2.2. Autoclaving
The lower parts of Sartorius electronic pipettes are
autoclavable, excluding the 1200 µl multichannel
model.
Please see the autoclaving symbol printed on the lower
part of your pipette to ensure the section is autoclavable.
Autoclaving Instructions:
Remove the Safe-Cone Filter if attached.
Disassemble the lower part:
a.
with single channel pipettes, unscrew the tip
ejector collar, tip cone and piston by turning
them counter-clockwise. Place these parts in
a sterilisation bag
OR
b.
with multichannel pipettes, unscrew the
connecting collar counter-clockwise to
remove the tip cone housing, and place it in a
sterilisation bag.
Sterilize the parts at 121°C and 1 bar overpressure for
20 minutes.
Let the parts cool and dry before reassembling.
11.2.4. UV Sterilization
Sartorius electronic pipettes are made of UV-resistant
materials. Sartorius pipettes tolerate temporary
exposure to UV radiation. Take note that prolonged
or frequent exposure to UV radiation may cause
yellowing and brittling of the pipette.
NOTE:
The autoclavable parts in the 5000 µl model are
the white tip cone (4), the black tip ejector assembly
and the piston (6).
NOTE:
Avoid applying too much grease. Use only the
grease provided with the pipette.
NOTE:
Before reassemby check that there are no lint
or particles on the surface of the piston.
NOTE:
It is always necessary to check the performance
of the pipette after in-house service or maintenance.
