Liquid Handling
Before using the dispenser please read the operating manual carefully and follow the safety instructions. Observe general notes on hazards and safety regulations, e. g. wear protective clothing, gloves and glasses. Observe any hazard symbols on reagent bottles.
What shall I do, if the dispenser does not fit on my bottle?
Adapters are available in various sizes referring to the outside diameter of your bottle. Please follow the link to our web shop. Special designs are possible. In this case we would need your bottle as sample.
• Remove the piston from the Cylinder via the volume setting knob. Remove discharge tube, intake tube and adapter.
• Put all parts into the cleaning solution for 2-4 hours or over night to allow a good soaking.
• After soaking, use a clean glassware brush to remove any further dirt if necessary.
• Rinse all dispenser parts with distilled water and air dry.
• Reassamble the unit and put the OPTIFIX dispenser back into service.
Referring to the operating manual the OPTIFIX® BASIC could be autoclaved (please take the piston out of the cylinder) and the OPTIFIX®SOLVENT could be autoclaved without dismantling.
Dry the dispenser after autoclaving and put it in the refrigerator overnight.
