Autoclaving
1.
Eject the pipette tips.
2.
Autoclave the complete pipette without any further disassembling.
3.
Allow the Transferpette ® S -8/-12 to completely cool and dry.
The Transferpette ® S -8/-12 is completely autoclavable at 121 °C
(250 °F), 2 bar absolute (30 psi), with a holding time of at least 15 min-
utes according to DIN EN 285.
The effectiveness of the autoclaving must be verified by the user.
Maximum reliability is obtained with vacuum
sterilization. We recommend the use of sterilization bags.
Note:
Attention:
If the pipette is autoclaved frequently, the
pistons should be oiled with the supplied
silicone oil in order to preserve smooth
movement.
If necessary after autoclaving, tighten the
connection between the hand grip and the
manifold.
Prior to autoclaving, the volume
adjustment must be set on an avail-
able numbered volume (e.g., 11.25
or 11.26 but not between), with the
volume-change protection set fully
unlocked (UNLOCK).
The unit can withstand the usual output of a UV sterilization lamp.
The effects of the UV may cause some color change.
