Functions And Limitations Of Use; Operating Exclusions; Disposal - BRAND Transferpette electronic Mode D'emploi

The Transferpette electronic is a microprocessor-
®
controlled, battery-operated piston-stroke pipette
which uses the air-displacement principle for the
pipetting of aqueous solutions with an average
density and viscosity.
Limitations of use
The Transferpette electronic 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.
Consult the manufacturer for use in tempera-
tures 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) or EPDM (flexible replacement
pipette shafts). Avoid reactive vapors due to the
danger of corrosion.
The handle is not autoclavable.
The adjoining symbol means that storage batteries and electronic devices must be disposed of sepa-
rately from household trash (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
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) of 27 January 2003, electronic equipment requires
disposal according to the relevant national disposal regulations.
- Batteries contain substances that can have harmful effects on the environment and
human health. Therefore according to the Directive 2006/66/EC of the European
Parliament 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!

Functions and Limitations of Use

When the instrument is used properly, the sample
only comes into contact with the tip and not with
the Transferpette
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.
