Removing the lower part of pipette
- The piston and piston rod are connected using a magnet. Therefore, by removing the
connection nut completely, the lower part of pipette can be removed by pulling
downward.
- The pipette has a strong magnet. Therefore, do not allow any magnetic material to be
close to the magnet, or do not allow an instrument that is affected by magnetic force
to be close to the magnet.
- Do not autoclave the lower part of the pipette beyond the stated specifications as this
will result in damage to the pipette.
- After performing autoclave, install the lower part of the pipette to the pipette after
drying it completely. Keep the lower part of the pipette in a room for at least two
hours before installing.
