Daily Safety Maintenance:Lightly spray the outside of the pipettor and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Complete eLINE pipettor decontamination procedure:
| 1. |  Unscrew the tip ejector collar counterclockwise and remove it. |
| 2. |  Unscrew the tip cone holder counterclockwise and carefully remove the tip cone holder, tip cone and spring. Remove the Safe-Cone Filter if fitted. |
| 3. |  Unscrew the piston counterclockwise from the pipettor. |
| 4. |  Place the tip cone, tip cone holder, tip ejector collar, piston and spring into a beaker containing Biohit Proline Biocontrol and leave for at least 30 minutes. |
| 5. | After performing the procedure described above, remove the components from the beaker and rinse them with distilled water, then dry preferably with warm air, for at least an hour. |
| 6. | Re-grease the piston as described in the instruction manual. Replace all components including new filter if fitted.
Note: When performing the decontamination procedure as a matter of routine, the o-ring seal should be checked for possible wear at every sixth instance, and replaced if necessary. The calibration should also be checked at the same time. |
