ARNING
If working with infectious materials, e. g. human pathogens, the pipetting
heads need to be gas sterilized or autoclaved to decontaminate before
sending them to service. The declaration on the absence of health hazards
must be signed to confirm that the equipment has not been exposed to
biohazards or radioactive materials and was appropriately decontaminated.
This is necessary to protect service personnel.
