JENCONS SAFETYPETTE Specifications

Introduction
Safetypette may be used with glass or plastic pipettes to facilitate the pipetting of a wide range of liq-
uids. Pipettes within the volume range of 1 ml to 100 ml can be used.
When correctly used, liquid only comes into contact with
the pipette.
Operating Instructions
1. Fitting the pipette
Carefully attach the pipette by inserting it into the
silicone holder inside the nose cone. Do not use force.
2. Filling the pipette
Press the suction bulb first whilst holding the
Safetypette in a vertical position with the pipette tip
down. Place the tip of the pipette into the liquid to be
aspirated. Press the aspirate lever slowly upwards
allowing the liquid to fill the pipette so that the
meniscus level is slightly above the required mark.
Note:
Do not allow liquid to enter the Safetypette. The
function of the filter will be severely impaired
reducing suction efficiency. Spare fiters are
available see over.
3. Meniscus Adjustment
Wipe the pipette tip with a suitable lint-free tissue.
Press the pipetting lever down slowly until the
required meniscus has been reached.
4. Dispensing
Hold the receiving vessel in an inclined position, plac-
ing the pipette tip against the receiving
vessel’s wall. Press the dispense lever down to empty the pipette.
5. ‘Blow-out’ Pipettes
As soon as the meniscus in the pipette comes to a standstill, press the discharge button to expel
the last few drops. To ensure a complete dispense procedure, wipe the pipette
tip upwards a few millimeters along the inside wall of the receiving vessel.

6. ‘To Deliver’ Pipettes
As soon as the liquid in the pipette comes to a standstill, wait
for the period of time required to ensure the timed liquid has
been fully dispensed.
Note: Pipetting time is printed on the pipette e.g.’EX + 10s’
7. To Remove Pipette
Hold the pipette at its upper end and gently twist and remove
from the silicone pipette holder.
8. Cleaning
The Safetypette can be easily maintained and cleaned. A damp
cloth is all that is required.
9. Replacing Filter
When replacement of the filter is necessary, proceed as follows:-
a remove pipette
b unscrew the nose cone
c remove the filter and replace with a new one
(Cat. No. 266-003)
d re-assemble
10. Leak Test
Attach a pipette and aspirate liquid to a minimum of half the
capacity of the pipette. Hold the pipette over a suitable reser-
voir. If liquid drips from the pipette tip, dismantle the unit (see
9) and re-assemble correctly.
11. Returning For Repair
When returning Safetypette for repair, please ensure the
instrument has been cleaned and decontaminated. Please ask
us for a decontamination statement form.
