Either one band or two narrow bandsshall encircle the top end of the pipet to signify the contentsmust be blown out as shown in Fig. X1.1.6.7 Color C
17、odingThe pipet shall be color coded forcapacity as specified in ISO Standard 1769 with an “orange”color band that is 6 6 2 mm wide and located 16 6 2 mm fromthe top of the pipet as shown in Fig. X1.1.6.8 Marking PermanencyGraduation lines, inscriptions,and numerical markings on the pipet (other than
18、 the color codeband) shall be black in color. All markings may not be ofpermanent nature but must possess sufficient stability to endurenormal transportation and its expected one-time use and mustmeet the test requirements as specified in 8.5.6.9 Lot ControlA lot or control number shall be indicated
19、on the pipet container package. This lot or control number shallbe traceable to the origin and purchase order of raw materialglass tubing.7. Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance7.1 The pipet shall be as free as possible of visible defectswhich would detract from its appearance or impair its service-a
20、bility when viewed by the human eye under normal roomlighting.8. Test Method8.1 Capacity:8.1.1 Weighing Volume, Using WaterAllow a small vessel(5-mL beaker) and a container of distilled water to stand atroom temperature of 20 to 25C for 2 h. Weigh the dry vesseland record the weight. Fill the pipet
21、with water and adjust tothe calibration line. Deliver the contents of the pipet in theprescribed manner into the vessel. Reweigh the vessel withwater content and record the weight. Record the room tem-perature. Subtract the recorded weight of the dry vessel fromthe recorded weight of the water-conta
22、ining vessel to obtain theapparent mass of the contained water. Calculate the volume, V,in accordance with the appendix.NOTE 2To accurately perform this test method, the reliability of theweighing instrument used should be confirmed against a known standardand the weighing instrument should possess
23、a minimum sensitivity of0.01 mg.8.2 CalculationCalculate the volume, V, of a micropipetfrom the weighings, in air, as follows:V 5 W 3 Z (1)where:W = apparent mass of liquid (water), weighed in air, andZ = apparent specific volume of liquid (water).Values of Z for water are given in the appendix.8.3
24、Capacity Deviation (single pipet)In accordance withthe methods outlined, capacity deviation is the differencebetween the stated capacity and the observed capacity of thepipet as follows:Capacity deviations, % 5 Vc2 V1! 3 100/V1(2)Vc5 Vt/1 1 at 2 20C! (3)where:Vt= observed volumetric capacity at tC,
25、uL,Vc= corrected volumetric capacity at 20C, uL,a = coefficient of cubical expansion of pipet glass equals0.000010/C for Type 1, Class A (borosilicate);0.000015/C for Type 1, Class B (noncorrosiveborosilicate); and 0.000025/C for Type 2 (soda-lime),V1= stated capacity of pipet, uL, andt = temperatur
26、e, C.8.4 Capacity Deviation (number of pipets)Test a mini-mum of 30 pipets taken at random from a completed manu-factured production lot. Calculate the volumetric deviation forthe 30 pipets as follows:8.4.1 Accuracy:Accuracy, % 5 100x 2 V1!/V1(4)where:x = mean of sample measurements, andV1= stated c
27、apacity of pipet.8.4.2 Coeffcient of Variation:Coefficent of variation, % 5 100s/xs 5 =x 2 x!2n 2 1 (5)where:x = individual sample measurement,x = mean of sample measurements, andn = number of pipets measured.8.5 Pipet Marking Permanency TestImmerse the tube indistilled water for 30 s. Using a soft
28、paper tissue, wipe themarked portion of the pipet lightly with ten complete strokes(five up and five down). When judged by the naked eye undernormal room lighting the pipet markings should appear asbefore the test with only possible lightening of the markings orminor removal of the markings, or both
29、, that would not effectthe pipets serviceability.E 1093 91 (2005)29. Keywords9.1 disposable; glass; pipet; ProthrombinAPPENDIX(Nonmandatory Information)X1.
