seripettor® Bottletop Dispenser FAQ
Browse through some common questions about the seripettor® Bottletop Dispenser:
1. | | What liquids can I dispense with my seripettor®? | |
The seripettor® is designed to dispense many of the liquids used in a biology laboratory, such as: Culture media; buffers; bases; dilute, non-oxidizing acids; and solutions containing sodium azide. The seripettor® is especially useful for solutions, as the disposable wiping-seal cartridge allows for easy replacement of wearing parts. However, there are two major liquids used in a biology laboratory that are not compatible with the seripettor®. One is scintillation fluid, the other is dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Both liquids will damage the seripettor and void the warranty. DMSO can be dispensed with either the Dispensette® III or Dispensette® Organic. For scintillation fluid, it will depend on the exact composition, but one of the Dispensette® models will work well. | Return to Top
| 2. | | Can I autoclave my seripettor®? | |
The entire seripettor® must not be autoclaved. However, it is possible to dispense sterile media with a seripettor® with the purchase of:
* Appropriate sized valve block cap
* Appropriate sized sterile dispensing cartridges
* Filling tube for sterile applications
* 0.2um filter (sterile or autoclaved)
Complete autoclaving instructions are found in the Operating Manual. Dispensing cartridges can not be autoclaved. | Return to Top
