2 Product description
2.1 Operating principle
The Biomaster is a pipette designed for very sensitive testing in the volume range of 1 μL
– 20 μL. It can be used with variable settings and without entrainment of residues.
Its tip, the Mastertip, can be mounted with one hand and disposes of an integrated piston.
By inhibiting the formation of aerosols, the Mastertip excludes sample contamination.
The Biomaster is UV-resistant and autoclavable. Mastertips are autoclavable.
Please refer to the section on sterilization before autoclaving the Biomaster or the
Mastertip (121 °C, 20 min).
