Frequently Asked Questions

Why is pipette calibration necessary?

Regular calibration and performance checking determine if a pipette accurately dispenses, confirming it works within defined error limits. Calibration is the foundation for reliable and reproducible results.

How does a calibration laboratory calibrate pipettes?

In an ISO 17025-accredited calibration laboratory, trained personnel calibrate pipettes according to ISO 8655. Calibrations typically involve a 3-point calibration (100% – 50% – 10% of nominal volume) with at least ten replicate measurements per selected volume, using gravimetric calibration.

Can an ISO 8655 calibration test be performed against manufacturer or customer/user tolerances?

To fulfil the ISO standard, manufacturer or customer/user tolerances must be stricter or equal to ISO 8655.

How does a pipette yield accurate results?

Proper pipetting techniques, considering liquid properties, using fitting tips, and maintaining and calibrating the pipette ensure accuracy and repeatability. Heavily used pipettes require more frequent maintenance.

How often should pipettes be calibrated?

According to ISO 8655, pipettes must be calibrated at least once a year. Factors like risk of application, frequency of use, number of users, type of liquids, acceptable errors, and manufacturer information should also be considered.

What is ISO 17025?

ISO 17025 specifies general requirements for calibration laboratories to be competent in conducting tests and calibrations. Laboratories with ISO 17025 accreditation provide the highest reliability and confidence in calibration, ensuring traceability to national and international standards.

What is ISO 8655:2022?

ISO 8655:2022 specifies requirements for pipettes and pipette calibration laboratories, offering detailed guidance on environmental conditions, procedures, and equipment. It applies to pipettes, burettes, dilutors, dispensers, and manually operated precision laboratory syringes.

What can I do if my pipette does not meet specifications?

If you suspect your pipette is out of specification, send it for maintenance and calibration. Calibration adjustments should be performed by trained personnel. Some pipettes may have user adjustment features for specific properties.
