Why cant I autoclave my entire Transferpette?

There are parts in the upper housing of the Transferpette that are not resistant to the heat and steam of autoclaving. However, if you are autoclaving your pipettes to perform sterile work, the lower housing of the instrument can be autoclaved for sterility. Because only the lower housing is autoclaved, the Transferpette does not need calibration after autoclaving the lower housing. Autoclaving the lower housing also saves room in the autoclave, important for people with small autoclaves.
