Cleaning a pipette requires following appropriate procedures to prevent cross-contamination and ensure accurate results. For reusable pipettes: 1. Detach the pipette tip (if applicable) and discard it. 2. Rinse the pipette with distilled water or a mild detergent solution to remove any residues. 3. If the pipette was used with hazardous or sticky substances, soak it in an appropriate cleaning solution, such as ethanol or a specialized cleaning agent for pipettes. 4. Use a soft brush if necessary to remove any stubborn residues from inside the pipette. 5. Rinse the pipette thoroughly with distilled water to remove any cleaning solution or contaminants. 6. Allow the pipette to air dry in a clean, dust-free environment. After cleaning, check the pipette for any signs of wear and ensure it is calibrated before reuse.
