VistaLab Ovation 9060-5009 Guide

When to Replace:
Nozzle filters are made of a cellulose
material which prevents liquid from
entering the interior of the pipette. If
the filter becomes wet, the pipette will
not aspirate or dispense until the filter
is replaced.

5. Pick up a new nozzle filter and place it
into the tip end (non-threaded) of the
nozzle. The rounded end of the filter
should be inserted first. Use finger to
push the filter into position. Firmly
press until the filter is pushed as far as
it will go.
6. Re-insert the rubber nozzle plug into
the front end of the nozzle. Press in
until plug is nearly even with surface
edge of the nozzle. If filter is not
completely seated, the plug will extend
beyond the end of the nozzle. Press
nozzle plug on countertop if necessary.
7. Place a gloved finger lightly against
the end of the air tube, and press and
release plunger to expel any liquid
that may be present in the end of the
tube. Gently wipe the end of the air
tube with a slightly dampened, lint-free
tissue, then dry it off. Replace the
ejector sleeve.
Note: The ejector sleeve is slightly
narrower on the end that is closest to
the pipette body.
8.
Screw the nozzle back onto the
extension tube. Tighten by hand, or use
a macro pipette tip to ensure the nozzle
is firmly attached to the extension tube.
