Intended use
The Research pro is a lab device intended for dispensing liquids in the volume range from
0.5 µL to 5 mL, in combination with matching pipette tips. In vivo applications
(applications in or on the human body) are not permitted.
The Research pro may only be operated by trained specialist staff. All users must have
read the operating manual carefully and familiarized themselves with the device's mode of
operation.
To guarantee problem-free, safe operation of the pipette, it is essential to observe the following
points:
Handling
– Use the Research pro only when a pipette tip is attached.
– Pipette tips are solely designed for disposable usage.
– Do not lay down the Research pro when a filled pipette tip is attached.
– After liquid has been aspirated, press the Actuate key only when you are sure that the liquid
shall be dispensed correctly.
– When the pipette is switched on and when the Reset key is pressed, the piston may move.
Please ensure beforehand that the liquid in the pipette tip shall be dispensed correctly.
– Emergency stop: A moving piston can be stopped by pressing the Reset key.
– When using infectious, radioactive, toxic and other solutions which may pose health risks,
please observe the safety precautions laid down for your country.
– Do not use the Research pro in a potentially explosive environment or with potentially
explosive chemicals.
– When using organic solvents and aggressive chemicals or their vapors, please check their
compatibility with the pipette tip (PP) and pipette.
– When using solutions with physical data which deviates greatly from those of water, carry
out the procedure for checking the dispensing volume, as described in Sec. 5.11.1.
– Operate the Research pro at temperatures between 15 °C and 40 °C only and at a humidity
of max. 80 % at a temperature up to 31 °C.
– When using Filtertips or 200 µl tips with the 300 µl pipette, observe the volume restriction
(see Sec. 5.11).
