Cleaning and Decontamination Guide for Sartorius Pipettes
Last updated: July 2023
Overview
Pipettes are precision instruments whose performance can be significantly impacted if not adequately maintained. Proper cleaning and decontamination of pipettes is necessary to maintain the level of cleanliness that is critical in many lab applications. In this context, cleaning refers to the removal of all foreign materials from the pipette such as dust, nucleic acids, proteins, buffers, and salts. Decontamination refers to the removal or killing of microorganisms such as virus, bacteria, and fungi. It also refers to the removal or neutralization of chemicals and radioactive materials
Sartorius pipettes are designed with end-user applications in mind and are therefore very easy to clean, contain as many autoclavable products as possible and tolerate a variety of cleaning reagents. Find out more about cleaning and decontamination of Sartorius pipettes.
