  • Page 9: Calibration And Adjustment

    6. Calibration and Adjustment 6.1 Factory calibration limits F1-ClipTip pipettes are factory calibrated and adjusted to give the volumes as specifi ed with distilled or deionized water using the forward pipetting technique. Manufacturer specifi cations are shown on the pipette calibration certifi cate and in Appendix 2.
  • Page 10 6.3 Procedure to check calibration The pipette is checked at maximum volume (nominal volume) and minimum volume. A new tip is fi rst pre-wetted three to fi ve times and a series of ten pipettings is done at both volumes. A pipette is always adjusted according to the delivery of the selected volume.

  • Page 11: Maintenance

    If the pipette is used daily, it is recommended to service the pipette every three months. When the F1-ClipTip is not in use, make sure it is stored in an upright position. We recommend a pipette stand for this purpose.
  • Page 12 2. Press the tip ejector 4.1. Rotate the tip ejector 10 counterclockwise and pull it out (Picture 11). 3. Turn the tip cone 11 counterclockwise with the service tool 1. There are two slots in the service tool: the smaller one for pipettes under 300 μl and the bigger one for pipettes over 300 μl.
  • Page 13 7.2.3 Cleaning and reassembling single channel pipettes General maintenance instructions can be found on page 11. Clean the piston, the piston spring and the O-rings with a dry napless cloth. Check the tip cone for foreign particles or dirt. Immerse it in a suitable cleaning solution. Dry before assembly.
  • Page 14 7.2.4 Reassembly of tip fi tting 5 and O-rings 5.1 and 5.2 Make sure that the tip fi tting has both o-rings 5.1 and 5.2 in place (Picture 8). Change o-rings during maintenance if needed. Place the tip fi tting onto the star-shaped end of tool 3 so that the screw end is facing upwards.
  • Page 15 7. While the tip ejector 23 is in the down position, open its upper end slightly on both sides and pull downwards. Remove the fastening spring 22. Remove the ejector link 24. Press the piston bar 16 beam into the down position. Finally unfasten the four screws 20/21 and the tip ejector. The ejector slide 25 and two springs 26 can be removed for maintenance.

  • Page 16: Sterilization

    7.2.7 Cleaning and reassembling multichannel pipettes See the cleaning instructions in Section 7.2.2 “Single channel pipettes”. Check the volume-specifi c reassembling of the piston assemblies starting on page 23. The pipette is assembled in the reverse order to disassembling. Note that the ejector link 24 must be in the down position simultaneously with the tip ejector 23 (page 25).
