Intended Use

HTL Pipettors are volumetric instruments designed to

measure and transfer liquids precisely and safely with the

use of disposable pipet tips. The pipettors operate on the

air-cushion principle (i.e., the aspirated liquid does not

come in contact with the shaft or plunger of the pipettor).

They can accommodate volumes from 0.1 µL to 10,000µL

depending on the model. They are available insingle-,

8-and 12-channel variable volume as well as xed volume

single-channel versions.

Safety Notes

• The pipettor is designed for the transfer of liquids only

using the tip. Do not aspirate liquids without the tip

attached. The aspirated liquid should not enter the

pipettor, asit may cause damage.

• Single-use tips reduce the risk of contamination of

samples.

• Keep the pipettor clean, avoiding the use of abrasive or

corrosive cleaning agents (e.g., acetone).

• Keep the pipettor upright when there is liquid in the tip.

• Only using the pipettor in accordance with the

manufacturer’s instructions ensures the correct pipettor

parameters are maintained.

• After replacing the plunger or the shaft, the pipettor

should be calibrated.

• In the case of incorrect operation, the device should

be cleaned in accordance with the Instructions for Use

ortransferred to a service point.

• Ambient operating temperature is +5°C to 45°C.

• Ambient storage conditions (in the original packaging

during transport and short storage) is -25°C to 55°C.

• Follow general work safety regulations regarding hazards

related to work in the laboratory.

• Take special care when pipetting aggressive substances.

• Use appropriate protective attire (e.g. clothing, goggles

and gloves).

• Avoid pointing the pipettor at yourself or others during use.

• Only use parts and accessories recommended by the

manufacturer.

Cleaning

• External parts may be cleaned with a swab moistened

with isopropyl alcohol.

• Pipettors can be autoclaved at 121°C for 20 minutes.

Prior to autoclaving, untighten the pipettor shaft,

remove the lter from 5 and 10 mL pipettor shafts.

• The outer body of the pipettor is UV-resistant. The

recommended distance from the radiation source to

exposed element should not be less than 50 cm.

• Prolonged and very intense UV exposure can cause

de-coloration of pipettor parts but does not aﬀect its

performance.
