Customer Care

HTL Pipettes do not require any special maintenance procedures. The clear technical design in combination with the proper choice of durable materials such as PVDF makes HTL pipettes and pipetors long lasting instruments. HTL aims to provide the users with easy to handle pipettes of the highest safety standards. If the user follows the Instruction Manual and takes care of cleaning the pipette after working with aggressive materials, seeds and reagents it will function perfectly for years.

Here are some basic instructions to follow, which will make your pipette a safe and precise tool for your day by day activity:

1. Do not use pipette without a tip.
2. Do not invert the pipette while the tip is filled with liquid or wet.
3. Always keep the pipettes in the stand after use.

External surfaces of the handgrip, the pipetting pushbutton, the ejector pushbutton, the shaft nut and the adjustment knob may be cleaned using a cloth dampened in isopropyl alcohol. The remaining parts removed from the pipette during pipette disassembly may be washed with distilled water or isopropyl alcohol.

Following the above recommendations will make cleaning and sterilization a regular, easy to do action rather than extraordinary, tiring and time-consuming effort.

If your pipette needs sterilization please see the chapter: How can I sterilize my pipette? and Is my pipette UV resistant?
