5.3 Using Protective Tip Cone Filters
Replaceable Sartorius Safe-Cone Filters can be used with your pipette to help prevent liquids and aerosols from entering the pipette
housing, and causing contamination or damage. We recommend you always use these filters when using non-filter tips. The operating
button allows safe and easy filter ejection.
NOTE: Do not use a Safe-Cone Filter with a filter tip.
Safe-Cone Filters are available in Standard or
Plus versions. We recommend the Standard filter
for general applications, and the Plus filter for
more demanding applications, such as:
− Cell culture
− Bacterial and virological work
− Molecular biology
The filter must be changed regularly. The
change interval depends on the application,
but we recommend regular daily replacement
and always in the case of over-aspiration. If
you notice that the pipette is not functioning
properly, change the filter.
To insert a Safe-Cone Filter:
1. Clean the tip cone if necessary.
2. Insert a new filter.
You can remove a Safe-Cone Filter with the filter ejector, without touching them.
To remove a Safe-Cone Filter:
1. Hold the pipette over a suitable waste container.
2. Press the operating button and the tip ejector at the same time.
