Services

Every pipette on your bench, serviced.

Calibration and repair for the pipettes your lab depends on.

Single-channel pipettes

The pipettes on every bench, any make and any model.

Multichannel pipettes

Multichannel pipettes of any make and model, checked at both ends of their range.

Repeater pipettes

Repeaters work a little differently from standard pipettes. We service them too.

Repairs

Repair is part of the service, and we use the correct manufacturer's pipette grease.

Our method

How each pipette is checked

  • Four readings at the pipette's lowest volume
  • Four readings at its highest volume
  • Two readings at each end for multichannel pipettes
  • More readings for labs that want them, for a little extra
Both ends of the range 4 readings 4 readings Lowest volume Highest volume pipette range

Single-channel shown. Multichannel pipettes get 2 readings at each end.

Your tips, not ours

We calibrate with the tips your lab actually uses.

Disposable tips come from many different manufacturers, and they don't all perform the same. Calibrating with your own tips means the result matches what happens at your bench.

How it works

On site or by mail.

Pick whichever fits your lab.

On site

We come to your lab, which labs usually prefer. We can work through 25 to 40 pipettes a day depending on condition. The minimum for a visit is 20 pipettes.

Paperwork when you need it

Most labs never ask for certificates. If yours works under GLP or GMP, tell us and we'll quote them. Certificates cost extra. Our balance, weight set, and barometer come with paperwork showing they are in spec.
