Cleaning
The SWIFTPET PRO does not require any maintenance. Its external parts may be cleaned
with a swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol.
The nosepiece and the pipette holder may be autoclaved at 121 °C for 20 mi nutes. After auto-
claving, dry the pipette holder. The filter included in the set may be sterilised by autoclaving
at 121°C for not more than 15 minutes.
Storage
The SWIFTPET PRO shall be stored in a dry place. The allowable storage temperature: -20 °C
to +50 °C.
During breaks in the work the pipette controller shall be placed on a charging stand in hori-
zontal position (fig. 7A) or in vertical position (fig. 7B). The charging stand may be fitted on
a wall (fig. 7B) with a fixing set included with the pipette controller. If the pipette controller is
stored on a charging stand (fig. 7A or fig. 7B), the charging stand should be disconnected
from the power supply.
CAUTION:
Do not store the pipette controller with a filled pipette.
The pipette controller is UV resistant which was confirmed by our tests. The recommended
distance from the radiation source to exposed element should be not less than 50 cm.
Prolonged and very intense UV exposure can cause de-coloration of pipette controller
parts, without affecting its performance.
