Is This Right For My Lab?	Are there new pipettes that require a calibration due date? Do you need to demonstrate your pipettes are within manufacturer specifications in between calibration cycles?	Do you want to extend the longevity of your pipettes? Are your pipettes routinely utilized in the laboratory?	Do you verify your pipettes in the lab in between calibration cycles? Is your laboratory a GLP, CLIA, manufacutring, or audited laboratory? Are you obtaining odd results that could be attributed to incorrect volumes?
Calibration Overview	Pipettes are confirmed to be within or out of manufacturer’s specifications in an environmentally controlled facility.	Pipettes undergo preventive maintenance (PM) and calibrated to manufacturer specifications.	Pipettes undergo verification first, and then preventative maintenance.
Benefits	Pipettes are confirmed to be within or out of manufacturer’s specifications. This is also a cost-effective way to obtain a calibration due date on new pipettes facility.	Preventative maintenance (PM) proactively replacing parts that are known to fail before they affect the performance of the pipette. Many pipettes that are out of tolerance fail because PM parts have worn out.	You can demonstrate your pipettes are within calibration range before they undergo preventative maintenance and calibration. Alternatively, if your pipettes are out of tolerance, you can adjust future calibration intervals to be closer together.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is a process of examining and/or adjusting the pipettes to the true value by comparison to the standard which is set by the manufacturer of that said pipette. The standard in this case is the pipetting range set by the pipette manufacturer to be accurate and precise at low volume and high volume of the pipette. At Pipette.com, we perform metrology based pipette calibration; Metrology based pipette calibration provides a platform where the process is done within strict guidelines of National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This ensures that there is a methodology and a standard set for all of the equipment used to calibrate the pipettes

Metrology is defined as a science of measurement. Metrology based pipette calibration provides a platform where the process is done within strict guidelines of National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This ensures that there is a methodology and a standard set for all of the equipment used to calibrate the pipettes. If this standard is not followed there cannot be a statistical guarantee that your results are accurate to true standards. Science is based on reproducible results. When reproducible results cannot be achieved all work is voided. Thus, scientists must strive that all of their work is reproducible. In order to achieve reproducibility scientists must have accurate and precise equipment. Pipettes are the cornerstone of all research, thus they must always be precise and accurate. In order to achieve this scientists must choose pipette service providers that follow strict metrology guidelines. Providers whose equipment is also calibrated and follows strict NIST rules can provide accurate and precise results giving you informative data on the status of your work and your pipette. Without metrology based calibration one cannot statistically say if the pipette is truly within range, it is simply an assumption using an uncertified piece of equipment

Preventative Maintenance (PM) is a step in the calibration process that greatly enhances the longevity of your instrument. PM includes full disassembly, interior & exterior cleaning, piston polishing & re-greasing, and new seals/o-rings are replaced as needed. An in-depth PM process helps keep your pipettes operating at peak performance in between your regularly scheduled calibration service dates

We recommend adding individual channel calibration for your multichannel pipette if you need each channel to be precise and accurate (such as when preforming RT-PCR, ELISA, ECL and Bioassays). This means each channel is individually adjusted, weighed, and calibrated. To add this to any pipette calibration service, check the box for “Multi-Channel Readings (per channel) on the “Pipette Service Order Form”

Positive Displacement Pipettes

Positive-displacement pipettes work like a syringe. The samples come into direct contact with the tip and piston, increasing precision and accuracy and eliminating the air cushion. The direct contact with samples results in the aspiration force remaining constant. Positive Placement Pipettes are fully-adjustable, that together with its disposable Capillary Pistons (CPs), will assure accuracy and precision—even with problem liquids. Positive Placement Pipette models cover a wide range of volumes from 1 µL to 1000 µl. CPs are designed, developed and manufactured to fit Pipettes perfectly. They ensure optimal performance of your Pipette across the full volume range. Working like a syringe, capillary pistons eliminate the air cushion between the sample and the disposable piston, providing 100% protection against pipette contamination and producing accurate, reproducible, and precise results every time.
