Functions And Limitations Of Use; Operating Exclusions; Disposal - StarLab ErgoOne E Mode D'emploi

FUNCTIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF USE

The ErgoOne E is a microprocessor-controlled,
®
battery-operated piston-stroke pipette which
uses the air-displacement principle for the pipet-
ting of aqueous solutions with an average den-
sity 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 and 40 °C
(59 °F and 104 °F) for the instrument and the
reagent. Consult 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, poly-
vinylidenfluoride, polycarbonate/polybutylen-
terephthalate, FKM or polyetheretherketone
(PEEK). 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 Euro-
pean 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 Bat-
teries 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 sam-
ple only comes into contact with the tip and not
with the ErgoOne E.

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.
