4.2.3 Disinfection
Sartorius Biohit electronic pipettes can be cleaned and decontaminated using
disinfection or decontamination liquids such as Biohit Proline Biocontrol
decontamination fluid, 70% ethanol, 60% isopropanol, mild detergent or
similar.
Always make sure of the chemical compatibility between the materials of the
pipette and the disinfectant or decontamination liquid.
Single-channel pipettes
For complete decontamination of the parts (tip ejector collar, tipcone, spring
and piston) can be placed into a dish containing Biohit Proline Biocontrol or
similar. Leave the parts to soak for 30 minutes. Rinse the parts with distilled
water and let dry before reassembling.
Multichannel pipettes
Wipe the outer surface of the multichannel pipettes with Biohit Proline
Biocontrol decontamination fluid, 70% ethanol, 60% isopropanol and mild
detergent or similar.
The lower part of the multichannel pipettes should be opened only by an
authorised Sartorius service provider.
