Information on autoclavable filters
It is the user's responsibility to ensure effective autoclaving. Not every
membrane filter is suitable! Use only original accessories.
>
The instrument comes equipped with a 0.2 µm membrane filter (red
color code).
>
The membrane filter can be autoclaved up to five times at 121°C
(250 °F).
>
Class B volume tolerances can be achieved with 0.2 µm membrane
filters (for cell cultures).
>
3 µm membrane filters are required to comply with Class A volume
tolerances. Due to the larger pore size, these have a reduced impact
on the free delivery time of the pipettes, see .
6.3 UV sterilization
The device is resistant to normal exposure to a UV disinfection lamp. The
effects of the UV exposure may cause some color change.
