What maintenance is required for a used pipette?

Regular calibration is crucial for accuracy. Cleaning of the tip cone and shaft, and occasional greasing of the piston, are also recommended. Seals may need replacement over time.

Can this pipette be used for sterile applications?

Yes, pipettes of this type are commonly used in sterile environments. They can typically be autoclaved, though buyers should confirm the specific autoclaving compatibility for this unit with the seller.

How do I verify the accuracy of a used pipette?

Accuracy should be verified through gravimetric testing using distilled water and an analytical balance. This process should be performed by a trained technician or a certified calibration service.

What are the advantages of an 8-channel pipette over a single-channel?

An 8-channel pipette significantly increases throughput when working with 96-well plates or similar multi-well formats, as it allows for simultaneous liquid transfer to multiple wells, saving time and reducing repetitive actions.

Are spare parts readily available for this model?

As a current model from a major manufacturer, spare parts such as seals, springs, and tip cones are generally available through Thermo Fisher Scientific or authorised distributors.
