In order to ensure the consistent quality of the pipettes, we recommend using the
corresponding parts of the same generation
(PhysioCare Concept + PhysioCare Concept, Standard + Standard
* ).
* please review old operating instructions
6.2 Sterilization
The lower half of the pipette can be sterilized by means of steam-autoclaving
(121 °C, 1 bar, 20 minutes).
If necessary, allow the autoclaved parts to dry at room temperature. Do not re-
assemble the pipette until it has cooled down completely.
6.2.1 Single-channel model
With single-channel models, the ejection sleeve (Fig. 1-12) and the lower part
(Fig. 1-10) may be autoclaved.
To do so, hold down the ejection button and pull off the ejection sleeve, then
unscrew the pipette lower part (with pipettes up to 1000 µL, this may require the
assistance of opening A of the wrench provided, see Fig. 3).
Single-channel, adjustable-volume (variable)
500 – 5000 µL
The piston must be removed before the pipette lower
part can be unscrewed (see Part B, "Maintenance").
