If the problem continues after carrying out the above steps,
contact your Assist pipette representative.
Before returning the pipette, please ensure that the pipette is
completely free of any chemical, radioactive or microbiological
contamination which could pose a threat during transport and
repair. As far as it is possible, clean the pipette.
10 – CLEANING AND STERILISATION
Cleaning:
External surfaces of the pipetting pushbutton, the ejector
pushbutton, the handgrip, the shaft nut and the adjustment
knob may be cleaned using a cloth dampened in isopropyl
alcohol. The remaining parts removed from the pipette during
pipette disassembly may be washed with distilled water or
isopropyl alcohol.
Warning:
Before using cleaning agents other than those recommended
by the manufacturer, check the compatibility charts and con-
sider chemical resistance of the following plastics: PP, PC,
POM, PA, PPS, PVDF used to produce the pipette parts.
Sterilization:
The pipette can be sterilised in an autoclave at 121°C for 20
minutes. After sterilisation, the pipette should be dried and
cooled to room temperature
It is recommended:
- to sterilize the pipettes in autoclave with an initial vacuum
and drying cycle,
- prior to sterilization unscrew the shaft nut slightly in the AP2
to AP1000 pipettes, and unscrew the shaft slightly in the
AP5000 and AP10000. After autoclaving these parts should
be screwed tight again.
- prior to sterilization the multichannel pipette unscrew the nut
connecting the handle and module slightly. After autoclaving
these parts should be screwed tight again.
The shaft of the 5000 and 10000 models should be autoclaved
without the filter.
The precision of the results should not alter if the pipetting
process and autoclaving are carried out as described in this
manual.

Because a slight change in the accuracy of the dosage may
occur, it is recommended to:
- check the calibration of the pipette after the initial first,
third and fifth autoclaving cycles and then after every 10
autoclaving cycles.
The pipettes are UV resistant which was confirmed by our
tests. The recommended distance from the radiation source
to exposed element should be not less than 50 cm. Prolonged
and very intense UV exposure can cause de-coloration of
pipette parts, without affecting its performance.
