FUNCTIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF USE

The ErgoOne E -8/-12 is a microprocessor-con-
®
trolled, battery-operated piston-stroke multichan-
nel pipette which uses the air-displacement prin-
ciple for the pipetting of aqueous solutions with an
average density and viscosity.
Limitations of use
The ErgoOne E is intended for the pipetting of
®
liquids within the following limitations:
– Temperature of both the instrument and solution
should be between 15 °C to 40 °C (59 °F to
104 °F) for the instrument and the reagent. Con-
sult the manufacturer for use in temperatures
outside of this range.
– Vapor pressure up to 500 mbar
– Viscosity: 260 mPa s (260 cps)

Operating exclusions

The user has to ensure the compatibility of the
instrument with the intended application.
Never use the instrument for pipetting liquids
that react adversely with polypropylene (PP: shaft
and tips), polycarbonate/polybutyleneterephthalate
(PC/PBT: casing). Avoid reactive vapors due to the
danger of corrosion.
The handle is not autoclavable.

DISPOSAL

The adjoining symbol means that storage batteries and electronic devices must be disposed of separately
from household waste (mixed municipal waste) at the end of their service life.
- According to the Directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on Waste Electri-
cal and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) of 27 January 2003, electronic equipment requires disposal accord-
ing to the relevant national disposal regulations.
- Batteries contain substances that can have harmful effects on the environment and hu-
man health. Therefore according to the Directive 2006/66/EC of the European Parlia-
ment and the Council on Waste Batteries of 6 September 2006 batteries require disposal
according to the relevant national disposal regulations. Dispose of batteries only when
completely discharged.
WARNING!
Do not short-circuit the battery to discharge it!
When the instrument is used properly, the sample
only comes into contact with the tips and not with
the ErgoOne E -8/-12.

Operating Limitations
Viscous and highly adhesive liquids may impair
volumetric accuracy. Volumetric accuracy may also
be impaired when pipetting liquids that differ from
ambient temperature by more than ± 5 °C / 41 °F.
