Relubrication
• 1250 ul, 850 ul, 250 ul Pipettors: Use the wooden applicator
and O-ring lubricant supplied in the Autoclave Kit to apply a
thin layer of lubrication approximately 0.5 inches (approx.
1.3 cm) down into each piston hole that requires it. Spread the
lubricant evenly along the inner wall of each piston by using a
circular motion with the wooden applicator (see Figure 7).

• 125 ul, 12.5 ul Pipettors: Spread the lubricant directly onto
the pistons, approximately 0.5 inches (approx. 1.3 cm) from
the bottom of each piston (see Figure 8)
