8 Disinfection/autoclaving

8.1 Autoclaving

The Pipette is completely autoclavable at 121 °C (250 °F), 2 bar and a hold-
ing time of at least 15 minutes, in accordance with DIN EN 285.
a.
Eject the pipette tip.
b.
Autoclave the complete pipette without any further disassembling.
c.
Allow the pipette to completely cool and dry.
The effectiveness of autoclaving must be verified by the user. Maximum
safety is achieved through vacuum sterilization. We recommend the use
of sterilization bags.
Prior to autoclaving, the volume-setting wheel must be set on an avail-
able numbered value (e.g., 11.25 or 11.26, but not between), with the vol-
ume-change protection set to fully unlocked (UNLOCK).
If the pipette is autoclaved frequently, the piston and seal should be
greased with the supplied silicone grease in order to ensure proper move-
ment. After autoclaving, tighten the connection between the hand grip
and the pipette shaft if necessary.

8.2 UV sterilization

The device is resistant to normal exposure to a UV disinfection lamp. The
effects of the UV exposure may cause some color change.
