Transferpette ® electronic 500-5000 µl
In order to assure proper funtioning, the Transferpette ®
electronic should be serviced and cleaned at regular
intervals.
Inspect the pipette tip cone for damage.
Inspect the piston and seal for contamination and damage.
Test the sealing of the instrument. We recommend using
the BRAND leak testing instrument PLT unit. Alterna-
tively: to do this aspirate a sample, and then hold the
