Eppendorf Lab Device Research Pro

Apart from general care and occasional discharging (when the battery symbol starts flashing) and recharging of the pipette, no special maintenance is necessary if the pipette is used correctly. For information on charging the battery pack when the pipette is stored for a long period, see Sec. 3.3. The lower part of the pipette may be replaced completely. (see Sec. 6.2.)

The process for replacing the seals in the lower part is described in Part B: ""Ordering information/service parts"". Maintenance on the Research pro may be carried out by the Service Department. If you require maintenance work, send your pipette to your authorized distributor.

In the case of the lower parts of the eight- and twelve-channel models, it is necessary to replace the O-rings (seals for pipette tips), which means that the lower part must be unscrewed. A tool for replacing the O-rings is contained in the accessories package:

– Press opening A of the tool over the nose cone. The sharp edge in the opening of the tool fits together with the O-ring.

– To cut the O-ring, press the tool heavily against the nose cone. The tool and the O-ring are then removed.

– Put the assembly aid (a shortened pipette tip) onto the nose cone and slide the new O-ring onto the nose cone.

With the 1,200 μL version, the O-ring is severed by pressing the tool firmly onto the nose cone. The O-ring is removed. The new O-ring can be attached without any assembly aids.;
