The fourth step is to check the piston system. After disassembling the piston, it is required to check if the piston is polluted, clean the piston, smear lubrication oil, re-install the piston, and recheck if the pipetting volume is still low. If the problem can not be solved, please deliver to the supplier. If there are serious problems such as aging of the sealing ring or rust of the piston, please also send it to the supplier for handling. Generally, users are not recommended to replace the accessories after purchasing the accessories from the supplier.

Check whether the sealing device and piston are polluted. The piston should be glossy and free of corrosive rust. If it is contaminated, clean it with distilled water or isopropyl alcohol, and then wipe it with a non-woven cloth. At the same time, note that before re-installing, check whether the inner wall of the handle is clean and ensure that all parts are completely dry.

The pipette is a single-channel micropipette that is commonly used in biological and chemical laboratories to move liquids with a small volume, and it is a measuring tool for transferring liquid from the original container to another container within a certain range. The design of the pipette fully conforms to the ergonomic principle, and is characterized by easy disassemble and maintenance. The pipette has five modes: Pipetting mode, sample mixing mode, reverse aspiration mode, electrophoresis sampling mode, and graded pipetting mode. The pipette can be applied to liquids such as high viscosity liquids, high vapor pressure liquids, and foaming liquids. Pipettes are widely used in clinical diagnostic laboratories, biotechnology laboratories, pharmaceutical and chemical laboratories, environmental laboratories, and food laboratories.

Before pipetting, it is required to make sure that the pipette, pipette tip and liquid are at the same temperature. In sucking liquid, the pipette must be kept in an upright position and the pipette tip shall be inserted 2-3 mm below the liquid surface. Before sucking the liquid, it is recommended to suck and release the liquid for several times to wet the suction nozzle (especially when it is going to suck liquid with a viscosity or when the density is different from water). At this time, two pipetting methods can be used: 

The first is the forward pipetting method. Press the button to the first stop with the thumb and then slowly release the button to the original point(suck the liquid of the fixed volume), and then press the button to the first stop point to drain out the liquid, wait for a while, continue to press the button to the second stop point to blow out the residual liquid, and release the button in the end.

When using the fixed combustible gas detector, it is inevitable that there will be some failures. Then, why do these failures occur, and how can we troubleshoot them? The following are simple examples of several troubleshooting methods.
In the process of using the combustible gas detector, it should not be installed close to the air conditioner and heating equipment. If the cold or warm air directly flows to the gas detector, it may cause the change of electrical resistivity of the alarm platinum wire and then the error occurs. Therefore, the alarm should be located far away from air conditioners and heating equipment to avoid the gas detector failures caused by improper placement.

Gas detector is an instrument for detecting the concentration of gas leakage, including portable gas detector, hand-held gas detector, fixed gas detector, online gas detector, etc. It mainly uses a gas sensor to detect the types of gases present in the environment, and the gas sensor is a sensor used to detect the composition and content of the gas.

The gas detectors are typically applied in the exploration drilling platforms, production platforms, onshore oil and gas terminal stations, refineries, etc. And it is often used to detect the inflammable and explosive gases like Hydrocarbon gas, and toxic gases such as hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, and so on.

A gas detector is an instrument used for the gas leakage concentration detection. The gas detector works mainly by using gas sensor inside to detect the presence of gas in the environment. The gas sensor serves as a reference point or scale which is the core part of gas leak detectors. Different gas sensors can react to different gases, so that the gas detector can detect different types and concentrations of gases. When the detected gas concentration exceeds the preset value, the alarm will sound to warm the user. So, it is an essential part of safety system to safe guard your life.
