Technical specifications of the pipette
Limitations of use The electronic pipette on the analyzer is intended for the pipetting of liquids within
the following limitations:
o The temperature of the pipette should be between 15 to 40 °C. Consult your
Roche representative for use in temperatures outside of this range.
o Vapor pressure up to 500 mbar
o Viscosity: 260 mPa s (260 cps)
The electronic pipette is only to be used on the analyzer.
Operating limitations Viscous and highly adhesive liquids may impair volumetric accuracy. Volumetric
accuracy may also be impaired when pipetting liquids that differ from ambient
temperature by more than ± 5 °C.
Operating exclusions The user has to ensure the compatibility of the pipette with the intended application.
Never use the electronic pipette for pipetting liquids, that react adversely with
polypropylene (PP: shaft and tips), polycarbonate/polybutyleneterephthalate
(PC/PBT: casing) or EPDM (flexible replacement pipette shafts). Avoid reactive
vapors due to the danger of corrosion.
Battery specifications Nickel-metal hydride battery with three cylindrical individual cells with size AAA,
3.6 V, 700 mAh. Only use original batteries. Do not use non-rechargeable batteries or
rechargeable batteries of other manufacturers.
