1. PRoDUCT oVERVIEW
The 3M™ Electronic Pipettor II - 5 mL is pre-programmed to perform the most common 3M™ Petrifilm™ Plate dilutions and provide high accuracy
and precision handling for micro-volumes of liquids. The microprocessor-based system reduces the possibility of human error and instrument
contamination by controlling pipetting speed, calibration and volume selection. Its lightweight and ergonomic controls take the effort out of pipetting to
help reduce the risk of repetitive strain injuries associated with manual pipetting.

When selecting a test method, it is important to recognize that external factors such as sampling methods, testing protocols, sample preparation,
handling, and laboratory technique may influence results.
It is the user's responsibility in selecting any test method or product to evaluate a sufficient number of samples with the appropriate matrices and
microbial challenges to satisfy the user that the chosen test method meets the user's criteria.
It is also the user's responsibility to determine that any test methods and results meet its customers' and suppliers' requirements.
As with any test method, results obtained from use of any 3M Food Safety product do not constitute a guarantee of the quality of the matrices or
processes tested.
