  • Washers designed for the automatic removal of dirt and/or stains (i.e., washing) from pipettes (e.g., serological pipettes). These washers typically consist of a stainless steel or plastic (e.g., high-density polyethylene) washing compartment that is resistant to high water temperatures and corrosive chemicals, as well as appropriate containers and holders for the pipettes. Pipette washers perform cycles of operations that typically include water prewash, enzyme treatment, detergent wash, chemical wash, and cold and/or heated rinse; the process usually includes mechanical removal of contaminants by scrubbing and/or other procedures such as intermittent siphoning to produce a turbulent fill-and-empty cycle in the pipettes; some washers include drying capabilities. Pipette washers are used mainly in clinical laboratories; they are available for a variety of pipette lengths (e.g., [38, 61, or 81 cm] 15, 24, and 32]). Multipurpose labware washers may also be used to wash pipettes, but their use is usually limited to pipettes a maximum length of a few inches.
