Cleaning And Decontamination - StarLab Ergo One Mode D'emploi

4. Cleaning and Decontamination

External cleaning
– Check the pipette each day for
external contamination.
– In particular, make sure the tip
holder is clean and undamaged.
7
– ErgoOne pipettes should be
®
cleaned regularly and can also be
placed under UV light if necessary.
Internal cleaning
– We recommend that you regularly
check pistons, springs, seals and the
tip holder. We also recommend
cleaning internally with a mild
detergent, 60% isopropanol or a
commercially available sterilising
agent.
– After cleaning, lightly lubricate the
piston (for piston lubrication, see
section 8 Ordering Information).
– For information about disassembling
the pipette, see section 7 Mainte-
nance.
Autoclaving
ErgoOne can be fully autoclaved
®
(121°C, 1 bar, 20 minutes). To increase
effectiveness, we recommend remov-
ing the tip ejector
tip holder by rotating it once (single-
7
channel only). After autoclaving, dry
the pipette at room temperatures and
only reassemble it once it is completely
dry.
Note: The ErgoOne® piston material is an
innovative, wear-resistant plastic (piston
material for red colour coded models is
made of stainless steel), treated with a
special lubricant during manufacture.
During normal use, it is therefore not
necessary to re-lubricate. In the event
of frequent autoclaving, however, we rec-
ommend more frequent re-lubrication
(see Internal cleaning).
