Pipette Operation - Thermo Scientific Finnpipette F1 Guide D'utilisation

If the pipetting performance is critical to the outcome of a specifi c application, the result has
to be assured with an alternative test, and if this is not an option, by duplicate testing.
The possibility of an incorrect volume delivery during pipetting cannot be entirely mitigated.
To avoid inaccurate dispensing and/or leakage, check that the tip is properly attached to
the pipette.
When rotating the volume adjustment button, do not exceed the volume range of the pipette.
Otherwise the pipette may be damaged or affect pipetting performance.
Pipetting performance cannot be guaranteed if the tip is reused.
Choose only a tip and pipette with matching color coding.
Disposal of the Materials
Follow laboratory and country-specifi c procedures for the disposal of biohazardous or radioactive
waste. Refer to local regulations for the disposal of infectious material.
Warning The tips can be potentially infectious. Dispose of all used disposable tips as
biohazardous waste.
Warning Decontaminate the pipette before disposal.
For waste disposal instructions, contact your local environmental agency. For more information,
please contact us at info.pipettes@thermofi sher.com
Regarding the original packaging and packing materials, use the recycling operators known
to you.
For more information, contact your local Thermo Fisher Scientifi c representative.
Setting the delivery volume
1. Set the delivery volume using the knob on the top of the pipette.
Pull the knob to activate the volume setting.
2. To increase the delivery volume, turn the knob
counterclockwise. To decrease the delivery volume,
turn it clockwise.
3. Make sure that the desired delivery volume clicks into place.
4. Do not set volumes outside the pipette´s specifi ed volume range.
Using excessive force to turn the knob outside the range may
jam the mechanism and eventually damage the pipette.
5. Lock the volume by pushing the knob down.
ID-tag
You can mark the pipette application, your initials, the
calibration date, etc. on the ID-tag. Remove the pipette's
module to replace the tag. Mark the label with a pencil and
slide the tag together with the holder back to it's slot.
Tip ejection
To help eliminate the risk of contamination, each pipette is
fi tted with a tip ejector system. To release the tip, point the
pipette at suitable waste receptacle and press the tip ejector
with your thumb.
Adjusting the fi nger rest
The fi nger rest can be adjusted by rotating it 60 degrees
to both directions of the center position. Usually right
handed operators turn it left (counter clockwise) to get the
best possible position for the thumb to eject the tip. See
picture.
