Pipette Calibrations

Regular pipette calibration and maintenance is necessary for any laboratory to achieve accurate critical measurements. Pipette inaccuracies and inconsistent measurements can cause invalid results in dosing applications. Regular pipette calibration enhances laboratory performance by guaranteeing the highest measurement accuracy and repeatability. Regular pipette PM’s guarantee the longevity of the pipette calibration.

How Often between Pipette Calibrations?

You rely on your pipette giving you accurate results with every measurement. Something as little as heat from the operators hands can cause small discrepancy in your measurements.

How accurate your pipettes are depend on:

How often they’re used
Skill of the technician using them
Types of liquids the pipettes are being used for
Accuracy of precision expected out of the pipette (If they demand superior accuracy, pipette calibration will be required more frequently)
Our pipette calibration experts are able to provide you with data based recommendations on calibration intervals. Most applications find the best success with pipette calibration occurring every 6-12 months.

Our Method

The pipette calibration procedure that we commonly adhere to is titled ISO 8655. The pipette industry, including manufacturers, have adopted this as the industry accepted method of performing pipette calibration.

All in all – the method that we use to perform your pipette calibration is called the Gravimetric Method. This is the method of using weighing results to perform the pipette calibration.

When circumstances arise that prevent ISO 8655 specifications from being fully met, we correct for it in the measurement result or in the uncertainty of measurement being reported.

Having the flexibility to perform these corrections efficiently and effectively is what sets us apart from the competition.

Its what allows us to offer a quality onsite pipette calibration service at an economical cost to you.

Common Causes of Errors in Pipetting

Incorrect Immersion Depth of Pipette tip

Propper immersion depth is necessary for the accuracy of the pipette. Seen manufacturer’s guidelines for the recommended tip depth for your pipettes.

Too much angle in Pipette dispensing

Pipettes should be used at or within a few degrees of vertical while dispensing.

Not pre-rinsing the pipette

A few re-rinsing cycles are recommended prior to pipette operation.
