Autoclaving
40
1.
Eject the pipette tip.
2.
Autoclave the complete pipette without any further disassembling.
3.
Allow the Transferpette ® S to completely cool and dry.
The Transferpette ® S is completely autoclavable at 121 °C (250 °F),
2 bar absolute (30 psi) with a holding time of at least 15 minutes,
according to DIN EN 285.
The effectiveness of the autoclaving must be verified by the user. Maxi-
mum reliability is obtained with vacuum sterilization. We recommend the
use of sterilization bags.
Note:
5 ml + 10 ml Filter Transferpette ® S
A hydrophobic PE filter is used as a safeguard against liquid entering
the pipette.
Change the filter if it becomes wet or contaminated.
• Use a flat object such as a screwdriver.
• Remove the filter without damaging the tip cone.
Remove the filter before autoclaving!
The instrument can be operated without a filter.
Attention:
Prior to autoclaving, the volume adjustment must be set on an
available numbered volume (e.g., 11.25 or 11.26 but not between),
with the volume-change protection set fully unlocked (UNLOCK).
If the pipette is autoclaved frequently, the piston should be oiled with the
supplied silicone oil in order to preserve smooth movement.
If necessary after sterilization, tighten the connection between the hand
grip and the pipette shaft.
The unit can withstand the usual output of a UV sterilization lamp.
The effects of the UV may cause some color change.
