Check for dust and dirt and wipe it cleans.
Use only 70% ethyl alcohol. The "Tip Cone" and "Tip Ejector" can be left in an alcohol both overnight.
Gently grease the "Piston", 'O'-Ring and other cleaned parts with the silicon grease that comes with the pipette.
Re-assemble the pipette.

Note: The calibration has to be checked after cleaning the pipette.

LONG-TERM MAINTENANCE

If the micropipette is used daily, it is recommended to check the calibration every three months.

AUTOCLAVING

Biosystem (Color) model pipettes are partially autoclaved (i.e. only the "Tip Cone Module") at 121°C (248°F) for 20 minutes.
After autoclaving, the autoclaved part must be cooled down and left to dry overnight before use.

Note : The calibration has to be checked after every autoclaving.
