5.2 Dispensing with the flexible discharge tube

The flexible discharge tube can optionally be used for serial dispensing (see Accessories/spare
parts, p. 63). The specified accuracy and coefficient of variation of the instrument are only obtained
for volumes > 2 ml and by gently approaching the upper and lower stops. The coil of the tubing can be
stretched to a maximum length of 800 mm. The tubing should lie neatly in loops and must not be
twisted.
The parts which come into contact with media consist of borosilicate glass, Al
PTFE, platinum-iridium and PP.
Never use the flexible discharge tube for:
•
Liquids attacking borosilicate glass (e.g., hydrofluoric acid)
•
Peroxides, as these are decomposed catalytically by platinum-iridium (e.g., H
The operating exclusions for the respective instrument in use also apply.
