Note on working with the
Reflotron Pipette
The Reflotron Pipette has
three stops. To aspirate the
sample, depress the plunger to
the first stop and slowly
release the plunger to the ori-
ginal position. If necessary,
remove any sample material
adhering to the outside by wip-
ing with a swab.
To apply the sample, hold the
pipette vertically and depress
the plunger to the second
stop. Do this gently but firmly,
so that no spraying occurs but
the tip is completely emptied.
Then depress the plunger com-
pletely to discard the pipette
tip.
Draw up the sample material
with the Reflotron Pipette
avoiding the inclusion of air.
If it is necessary to expel the
sample material because of air
bubbles, a new pipette tip has
to be used. If the same tip is
used, the volume dispensed
might exceed the required
amount.
Apply the sample material to
the centre of the mesh-
covered application zone
making sure that only the drop
of specimen and not the pipette
tip touches the application
zone. The adhesive strip is
not part of the application
zone. Support the right forearm
with the left hand, or vice versa,
while pipetting. The test zone
will immediately absorb the
sample.
