12. Maintenance
The outside of LABNET Excel electronic pipettor may be wiped clean
with 60% Isopropanol, 70% ethanol or mild detergent, and then wiped dry
with a lint-free cloth. If the pipette is severely contaminated or if very
corrosive chemicals are dispensed, the lower part of the LABNET
electronic pipette should be disassembled. The individual parts should be
rinsed in distilled water and then air dried. For complete information on
proper disassembly of the LABNET Excel electronic pipettor, contact
LABNET 's service department.
It is recommended to clean the LABNET Excel electronic pipettor at
regular intervals depending on how much the pipette is used, as well as
lubricating it once per year. If the pipette is autoclaved often, you may
need to lubricate the pipette more frequently. Lubrication of the piston
should be performed only by authorized LABNET service personnel, or
trained users, and only the proper LABNET Excel electronic pipettor
lubricant available from LABNET International should be used*. For
complete information on proper service of your LABNET Excel electronic
pipettor, contact LABNET International's Service Department.
It is recommended to check the performance of your LABNET Excel
electronic pipettor regularly (e.g. every 3 ~ 6 months) and always after
maintenance or service. More frequent testing of the LABNET Excel
electronic pipettor may be desired depending upon requirements of the
application, frequency of use, number of operators using the pipette, nature
of the liquid dispensed and the acceptable maximum permissible errors
established by the user (ISO 8655-1). For more information of LABNET
Excel electronic pipettor calibration procedures, contact LABNET's
Technical Support Department.
