Variant 1 – 10 mL (Fig. 1-14)
Pull filter down out of the nose cone. The filter swells up slightly during auto-
claving. Compress gently when reinserting. This does not impair function. Only
autoclave filter 1x. Unscrew the complete lower part from the grip by turning to
the left,
not turning the ejection sleeve (Fig. 1-12) at the same time. The ejection
sleeve comes out of its bracket automatically during turning and can be removed
from the lower part.
6.2.2 Multi-channel model
With the multi-channel model, the complete lower part (Fig. 2-6) is placed into
the autoclave.
To do so, hold down the ejection button and unscrew the lower part from the grip
by rotating it counterclockwise.
All pipettes belonging to the Research Family may be exposed to UV light.
Any discoloration which may occur has no effect on the function of the pipette.
6.3 Decontamination prior to dispatch
If the Research 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 Research must be entered on the
decontamination certificate.
The bottom part of the Research can be decontaminated of potentially infectious
substances by being steam-autoclaved (see Sec. 6.2).
The surfaces of the pipette can be disinfected with alcohol (ethanol, propanol) or
with a disinfectant containing alcohol.
