2.2
Intended use
ErgoOne® E Multi-Channel is a microprocessor-controlled, battery-operated piston-stroke
pipette based on the air cushion principle for pipetting aqueous solutions of medium density and
viscosity. If the instrument is handled correctly, the sample to be dispensed comes into contact
only with the tip and not with the ErgoOne® E Multi-Channel.
2.3
Limitations of use
This instrument is intended for pipetting samples, within the following limitations:
› Operating temperature of instrument and reagent should be between +15 °C and
+40 °C (59 °F to 104 °F) (other temperatures upon request)
› Vapor pressure up to 500 mbar
› Viscosity: 260 mPas
For viscous media, the speed must be adjusted if necessary.
2.4
Application restrictions
Viscous and wetting liquids may compromise volumetric accuracy. Volumetric accuracy may also
be affected when pipetting liquids whose temperature deviates from the ambient temperature by
more than ± 1 °C/± 1.8 °F.
2.5
Operating exclusions
The user is responsible for checking the compatibility of the device with the intended application.
The device cannot be used:
› for liquids that attack PP, FKM, PVDF,SI, PEI or PC/PBT. Avoid aggressive vapors
(risk of corrosion).
The handle cannot be autoclaved.
