Intended Use
VWR® Pipettors are volumetric instruments designed to
measure and transfer liquids precisely and safely with the
use of disposable pipet tips. The pipettors operate on the
air-cushion principle (i.e., the aspirated liquid does not
come in contact with the shaft or plunger of the pipettor).

Safety Notes
•The pipettor is designed for the transfer of liquids only
using the tip. Do not aspirate liquids without the tip
attached. The aspirated liquid should not enter the
pipettor, asit may cause damage.
•Single-use tips reduce the risk of contamination of
samples.
•Keep the pipettor clean, avoiding the use of abrasive
or corrosive cleaning agents (e.g., acetone).
•Keep the pipettor upright when there is liquid in the tip.
•Only using the pipettor in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions ensures the correct pipettor
parameters are maintained.
•After replacing the plunger or the shaft, the pipettor
should be calibrated.
•In the case of incorrect operation, the device should
be cleaned in accordance with the Instructions for Use
ortransferred to a service point.
•Ambient operating temperature is +5°C to 45°C.
•Ambient storage conditions (in the original packaging
during transport and short storage) is -25°C to 55°C.
•Follow general work safety regulations regarding
hazards related to work in the laboratory.
•Take special care when pipetting aggressive substances.
•Use appropriate protective attire (e.g. clothing, goggles
and gloves).
•Avoid pointing the pipettor at yourself or others during
use.
•Only use parts and accessories recommended by the
manufacturer.
Cleaning
•External parts may be cleaned with a swab moistened
with isopropyl alcohol.
•Pipettors can be autoclaved at 121°C for 20 minutes.
Prior to autoclaving, untighten the pipettor shaft,
remove the filter from 5 and 10 mL pipettor shafts.
•The outer body of the pipettor is UV-resistant. The
recommended distance from the radiation source to
exposed element should not be less than 50 cm.
•Prolonged and very intense UV exposure can cause
de-coloration of pipettor parts but does not affect its
performance.
