Pipetting Recommendations - Auxilab Digipette 66732020 Manual De Instrucciones

PIPETTING RECOMMENDATIONS

Aspirate liquid into the pipette only when a
tip is attached to its tip cone.
Allow liquids, tips, and pipettes to equilibrate
to the ambient temperature.
Pre-rinsing of tip 5 times with the liquid to be
dispensed is recommended. This is important es-
pecially when dispensing liquids which have a
viscosity and density different from water.
Pre-rinse the tip several times before use when
pipetting liquids at temperature different from
ambient.
While pipetting, the pipette should be verti-
cally straight and tip should be dipped only a few
millimeters into the liquid.
Always control the push button movements
with the thumb for consistency.
Wipe the tip only if there is liquid on the out-
side of the tip, being careful to avoid touching the
tip's orifice.
Don't keep pipette in your hand while not
working, to avoid transferring of body heat
Use the correct pipette tip designed for use
with the particular pipette.
Select the correct pipetting technique (e.g. Re-
verse, forward etc.) depending on the nature of
the liquid.
Using excessive force to turn the push button
outside the range specified for it may jam the me-
chanism and damage the pipette.

To maintain the best results from your pi-
pette, each unit should be checked every day
