the multichannel pipettes to your local Sartorius
service representative for cleaning and greasing.
To clean and decontaminate the lower parts of
the single channel pipette, follow these steps:
Disassembling and cleaning
(see the pictures under the cover page):
1. Eject the tip cone filter (if fitted, Chapter 8.3.)
2. Unscrew the tip ejector collar (1)
counterclockwise and remove it.
3. Pipettes m3, m10, m20, m100, m200, m1000:
Unscrew the tip cone holder (2) counter-
clockwise and carefully remove it with the
tip cone (3).
Pipettes 5000 µl and 10 ml: Please note
different opening method between these
models.
Pipette 5000 µl:
Hold the tip cone holder firmly with your
fingers and turn the tip cone cylinder counter
clockwise with the other hand.
Pipette 10 ml:
Hold the tip cone cylinder firmly and turn the
tip cone holder clockwise with your fingers.
NOTE: Don't turn the tip cone cylinder +
holder system together. That will break the
pipette!
4. Clean the tip ejector collar, the tip cone
holder, the tip cone (cylinder) and the piston
(5) with ethanol (70%), isopropanol (60%) or
mild detergent and soft lint-free cloth.
5. Clean the interior of the tip ejector collar and
the tip cone (cylinder) with a cotton swab. Be
careful with the pipettes m3, m10, m20 and
m100 so that the seal inside the tip cone will
not damage.
6. Rinse the parts with distilled water if needed
and let the parts dry.
7. Pipettes m3, m10, m20 and m100:
Put a thin layer of grease on the piston (5).
Pipettes m200 and m1000:
Put a thin layer of grease around the seal (6).
Pipettes m5000 and m10 ml:
Put a thin layer of grease on the seal (6) and
the interior of the tip cone cylinder (4).
NOTE: Avoid excess grease. Use only the grease
provided with the pipette.
NOTE: Before reassembling check that no lint or
particles are on the surface of the piston.
