Decontamination prior to dispatch
If the Reference pipette is to be checked, repaired or calibrated by
Eppendorf AG or another service partner, it must be free of
hazardous substances and clean!
A form called "Decontamination certificate for return of goods" and general notes
about decontamination are available on our home page:
www.eppendorf.com
A signed decontamination certificate must be enclosed with the pipette when it is
returned. The serial number of the Reference must be entered on the
decontamination certificate.
The Reference can be decontaminated of potentially infectious substances by
being steam-autoclaved (see Sec. 9.2).
The surfaces of the pipette can be disinfected with alcohol (ethanol, propanol) or
with a disinfectant containing alcohol.
