Servicing and Cleaning
Servicing
Inspect the pipette tip cone for damage.
Inspect the piston and O-Ring-seal for contamination.
Test the instrument's piston seal. To do this, affix a tip, and
aspirate a sample. Hold the instrument vertically, with the sample
in the tip for approximately 10 sec. If a drop forms at the tip
orifice, see the troubleshooting guide on page 36.
