Filter Transferpette
S 2 ml, 5 ml + 10 ml
A hydrophobic PE filter is used to prevent liquid from entering the
pipette.
Change the filter if it becomes wet or contaminated.
a. Use a flat object, such as a screwdriver.
b. Remove the filter carefully, without damaging the tip cone.
Remove the filter before autoclaving!
The instrument can also be operated without a filter.
10 Maintenance
10.1 Disassembling/cleaning (Transferpette® S up
to 1,000 µl)
a. Check the pipette tip cone for damage.
b. Inspect the piston and seal for contamination.
c. Check the pipette for leaks.
We recommend using BRAND's leak detector, the BRAND PLT unit.
As an alternative to this, aspirate a sample and hold the pipette verti-
cally for approx. 10 s. If a drop forms on the pipette tip, refer to p. 57.
