Please check the following items.
- That the serological pipette is securely inserted in the pipette holder.
- That the pipette holder and membrane filter are both inserted correctly.
- That the pipette holder and pipette are intact and undamaged.
The serological pipette may not be inserted correctly into the BlueSwan or the pipette holder may be damaged.
-Type: Lithium-ion polymer rechargeable battery
-Capacity: 1100 mAh
-Full recharge time: Approx 4 hours
-Number of dispenses: Approx 4500 (with a 25 ml pipette)
If too much liquid gets into the filter by accident, it will flow into a circulating silicon tube inside the machine and spurt out of the protective hole. This unique and safe design prevents parts inside the BlueSwan from corrosion and contamination.
- The housing of the BlueSwan is UV-resistant.
- The PTFE filter, silicone pipette holder and polypropylene nose cone can be autoclaved (121°C, 1.2 kg/cm2 for 20 min).
It weighs 180 g including the rechargeable battery.
The filter is a 25 mm diameter hydrophobic Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) filter with a pore size of 0.2 µm.
Under Liquid Level is the default setting. When APM aspirates or dispenses, the point of the tip is 1~2mm under the level of the liquid surface.
The tips will move to a position about 1~2mm above the bottom of the labware when aspirating or dispensing.
The tips will move to the top position of the labware (except for the 384-well microplate) when the APM dispenses.
