Today let\u2019s take a look at how to properly clean, lubricate, disinfect and self-check pipettes. 1. How to clean a pipette? 01. For external cleaning, use a damp cloth containing soap, dish soap or 60% isopropyl alcohol cleaning solution to remove dirt on the outside of the pipette, then rinse with double-distilled water and let dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
02. Internal cleaning is only applicable to pipettes (Researchplus, Reference2, Xplorer\/Xplorerplus), not applicable to dispensers E3\/E3x\/M4<\/p>\n\n\n\n
03. The frequency of internal cleaning is recommended at least once a year. However, depending on the frequency and intensity of use, it can be adjusted to once every six months or once every quarter. If a pipette accidentally aspirates a sample and becomes contaminated, immediate internal cleaning is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
04. How to clean the interior. Internal cleaning is mainly for the sleeve; if the piston, spring, etc. are also stained, they also need to be cleaned. Use soap, dishwashing liquid or 60% isopropyl alcohol to clean, rinse with double distilled water, and dry before assembly;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
