Pipette Washer/Rinser

This useful washing/rinsing system allows pipettes to be automatically rinsed when connected to a tap and drain outlet. Particularly useful where unpleasant or hazardous liquids have been used, the apparatus holds pipettes up to 600 mm in length. For convenience and flexibility, the washing/rinsing system is available as separate components. 1. The polyethylene rinser/washer fills via the spray nozzle on the top rim. Contaminated water will syphon out totally, once the syphon point at the top of the rinser has been reached via the large diameter drain situated at the lowest point, before refilling automatically. 2. During washing the pipettes are housed in a specially designed basket, which minimises breakages as it buffers the glassware tips against the soft polyethylene base. 3. A soaking jar (BU120120) is available, which will hold a pipette basket, to allow the glassware to soak before rinsing. Low water flow rate is NOT problem, but it is better to adjust the flow for a cycle of about 90 seconds.
