5.
To clean adapter with built-in check valve,
carefully rinse it by using an appropriate
compatible solvent (e.g., water) in a wash
bottle.
Blow out the liquid and allow to dry
completely.
7.
The entire pipette adapter incl. membrane
filter is autoclavable at 121 °C (250 °F),
2 bar according to DIN EN 285.
6.
Place the new membrane filter with
the thicker end facing downwards into the
adapter (with the smaller conical side up).
8.
Reassemble the instrument in reverse
order and carry out leak test.
It is the user's responsibility to ensure effective autoclaving. Not every
membrane filter is suitable. Only use genuine manufacturer’s recom-
mended accessories. Each instrument will be supplied with a 0.2 µm
membrane filter (red color code). The membrane filter is autoclavable up
to 5 times at 121 °C (250 °F). The filter with 0.2 µm pore size (for cell
culture) is sufficient to meet class B tolerances.
For class A accuracy, it is necessary to use a 3 µm membrane filter.
This filter has a larger pore size and thus permits better airflow for
gravity-delivery. (Spare parts s. page 45).
