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

FUNC TIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF USE
The ErgoOne E-8/-12 is a microprocessor-
®
controlled, battery-operated piston-stroke multi-
channel pipette which uses the air-displacement
principle for the pipetting of aqueous solutions
with an average density 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 solu-
tion should be between 15 °C to 40 °C (59 °F
to 104 °F). 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-vinylidene fluoride and silpolypropylene,
polyvinylidenfluoride, polycarbonate / polybutyl-
enterephthalate, 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 sepa-
rately from household waste (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 Par-
liament 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.
Do not short-circuit the battery to discharge it!
WARNING!
When the instrument is used properly, the sam-
ple only comes into contact with the tips and not
with the ErgoOne E-8/-12.

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.
