Decontamination

TriGene Technical Product Application for Pipettes

Multi-purpose Laboratory Disinfectant

General Daily Use

• 1:10 dilution is recommended (pipettes should be cleaned using this method prior to servicing).
• Spray/or wipe handle and shaft with ready to use TriGene or TriGene Wipes leave for a minimum contact time of 10 minutes (ensuring the tip ejector button and volumeter are also cleaned).
• Rinse with de-mineralised water and wipe dry.
• Pipettes requiring servicing can be dismantled and cleaned using TriGene.  All parts can then be placed in 1:10 dilution for 10 minutes, then rinse with de-mineralised water.  You must ensure the pipette parts are rinsed and dried thoroughly before reassembly.

Complete Decontamination

• 1:10 dilution is recommended, use a container that is deep enough to allow full immersion of  the pipette.
• Dismantle pipette (as specified by the manufacturer for servicing), place parts (which can be immersed) completely in solution for 30 minutes (tip holder, piston, tip ejector & ECT).
• Remove parts and rinse with demineralised water.  Lie on lint free cloth, place in a dry oven at 60^oC for at least one hour (until dry).  Alternatively, place on bench with lint free cloth until dry (approx. 4 hours)
• Reassemble pipette following manufacturer recommendations.
• TriGene Wipes are recommended for use on pipettes between uses to reduce cross contamination.
