2 Safety regulations
2.3 Limitations of use
This instrument is intended for pipetting samples, within the following limitations:
•
Operating temperature of instrument and reagent should be between +15 °C and +40 °C (59 °F to
104 °F) (other temperatures upon request)
•
Vapor pressure up to 500 mbar
•
Viscosity: 260 mPa s 260 mPa s
For viscous media, the speed must be adjusted if necessary.
2.4 Application restrictions
Viscous and wetting liquids may compromise volumetric accuracy. Volumetric accuracy may also be
affected when pipetting liquids whose temperature deviates from the ambient temperature by more
than ± 1 °C/± 1.8 °F.
2.5 Operating exclusions
The user is responsible for checking the compatibility of the device with the intended application. The
device cannot be used:
•
for liquids that attack polypropylene or polyvinylidene fluoride, polycarbonate/polybutylene
terephthalate, polyether ether ketone, FKM or EPDM (flexible replacement pipette shafts)
Avoid aggressive vapors (risk of corrosion)!
The hand grip is not autoclavable.
