Autoclaving; Reference Run (Ref) - BRAND Transferpette -8 Operating Manual

Autoclaving

The manifold (M) of the Transferpette
is autoclavable at 121 °C (250 °F), 2 bar absolute (30 psi) with a holding time
of at least 15 minutes, according to DIN EN 285.
Attention: The handgrip can not be autoclaved!
1.
Eject the pipette tips.
2.
Unscrew the manifold from the grip (see page 64).
3.
Autoclave the complete manifold without any further
disassembling.
4.
Allow the manifold to completely cool and dry.
5.
Screw the manifold into the grip again (see page 64).
6.
Perform a reference run (rEF).
Note: The effectiveness of the autoclaving must be
verified by the user.
Maximum reliability is obtained with vacuum
sterilization. We recommend the use of steril-
ization bags.
If the manifold is autoclaved frequently, then the pistons should
be oiled with the supplied silicone grease in order to provide
smoother movement.

Reference run (rEF)

A manual refernce run must be completed each time the manifold is reattached
to the handle. The reference run is needed to assure secure connection of the piston.
