Sterilisation/Autoclaving - VWR ZIPPETTE PRO Manual De Instrucciones

Sterilisation/Autoclaving

Only the fluid path components of the Zippette Pro are suitable for chemical sterilisation or autoclaving at
121 °C after the normal cleaning procedure has been carried out.
Chemical sterilisation
The fluid path components of the Zippette Pro can be soaked overnight in a dilute (1:1000) solution of
sodium hypochlorite. (See page 10 for disassembly procedure).
For soaking the components individually, follow the fluid path disassembly instructions on the previous page.
Autoclaving
Autoclaving of fluid-path components is permissible at 121 °C, 2 bar for 20 minutes, after the normal
cleaning procedure has been carried out.
Autoclaving can be carried out only in a
part-assembled condition with the piston
inserted into the glass barrel (Drawing 8).
Follow disassembly instruction (page 10)
1 to 3 (Drawings 9-12). Steam sterilisation
of the piston outside the glass barrel may
damage it.
Loosen the threaded platform ring
(Drawing 8) by turning it anti clockwise
two full revolutions.
Place the assembly together with the PTFE
inlet tube on a suitably soft surface within
the autoclave in order to avoid metal
contact.
Cool slowly back to ambient temperature
after autoclaving and before assembly.
