7. The entire pipette adapter incl. membrane filter is autoclavable at
121 °C (250 °F), 2 bar absolute (30 psi) with a holding time of at least
15 minutes according to DIN EN 285.
8. Reassemble the instrument in reverse order and carry out leak test
(­ page 28).
Note:
Not every membrane filter is suitable. Only use genuine manufac-
turer's recommended accessories.
Each instrument will be supplied with a 0.2 µm membrane filter (red
color code). The membrane filter is autoclavable up to 5 times at
121 ºC (250 °F). It is the user's responsibility to ensure effective auto-
claving. The filter with 0.2 µm pore size (for cell culture) is sufficient
to meet class B tolerances. For class A accuracy, it is necessary to use
a 3 µm membrane filter. This filter has a larger pore size and thus
permits better airflow for gravity-delivery. (Spare parts page 35).
