Pipette Calibration
Pipette recalibration is an important consideration in laboratories using these devices. It is the act of examining or adjusting the quality of being near to the true value of a measuring device by comparison with a standard. Pipette calibration is essential to ensure that the instrument is working according to expectations and as per the defined regimes or work protocols. Pipette calibration is considered to be a complex affair because it includes many elements of calibration procedure and several calibration protocol options as well as makes and models of pipettes to consider.
Factors to consider while calibrating pipettes
There are numerous things to consider during pipette calibration, either if the laboratory performs the process themselves or if undertaken by a third party. It includes the following;
- Operator training applications
- Accuracy and precision of liquid volumes
- Other external factors
