2. Purpose
Air-displacement pipette for pipetting aqueous solutions of medi-
um density and low to medium viscosity.
3. Limitations of Use
The instrument is intended for the pipetting of liquids within the
following limitations:
-
Temperature of both the instrument and solution should be
between 15 °C to 40 °C (59 °F to 104 °F). Consult the ma-
nufacturer for use in temperatures outside of this range.
-
Vapor pressure up to 500 mbar
-
Viscosity: 260 mPa s (260 cps)
4. Operating Limitations
Viscous and highly adhesive liquids may impair volumetric accu-
racy. Volumetric accuracy may also be impaired when pipetting
liquids that differ from ambient temperature by more than ± 1 °C
/± 1.8 °F.
5. Operating Exclusions
The user has to ensure the compatibility of the instrument with
the intended application.
This instrument cannot be used:
-
for liquids incompatible with polypropylene and FKM
-
for liquids incompatible with polycarbonate
(inspection window)
-
for liquids attacking polyphenyl sulfide
-
for liquids of a very high vapor pressure
