10 - CLEANING AND STERILIZATION

Cleaning
External surfaces of the pipetting pushbutton, the ejector
pushbutton, the handgrip, the shaft nut and the adjustment
knob may be cleaned using a cloth dampened in
isopropyl alcohol. The remaining parts removed from the
pipettor during pipettor disassembly may be washed
with distilled water or isopropyl alcohol.
Sterilization:
The pipettor can be sterilized in an autoclave at 121°C for
20 minutes. After sterilization, the pipettor should be
dried and cooled to room temperature.
It is recommended to:
- unscrew the shaft nut slightly prior to sterilization and re-
tighten after autoclaving,
- set the locking ring in lower (unlocked) position prior to
sterilization,
- sterilize the pipettors in autoclave with an initial vacuum
and drying cycle.
The precision of the results should not alter if the pipetting
process and autoclaving are carried out as described
in this manual. Because a slight change in the accuracy
of the dosage may occur, it is recommended to:
- check the calibration of the pipettor after the initial first,
third and fifth autoclaving cycles and then after every
10 autoclaving cycles.
