Calibration Frequency for Pipettes

Calibration Frequency for Pipettes

19 Feb 2016

Mechanical action pipettes, unlike the original glass pipette, contain many internal parts. Some pipette failures are evident, either to the eye or by the feel of the pipette action. In these instances, the operator is aware that the pipette is not operating correctly. However, when the internal mechanism of a pipette fails, and it is not obvious to the operator, a silent failure has occurred. This application note explains how silent failures can occur and how to avoid them.
