Why Pipette Calibration is Essential?
Pipettes are vital tools used in chemistry, biology, and medical laboratories to accurately measure and transfer specific volumes of liquid. It is available in various types, from simple narrow-graduated glass tubes to more advanced adjustable single-channel and multi-channel to electronic pipettes. They help dispense 10 ml or greater to 1μl or fewer volumes of liquid. Why Calibrate Pipettes? However, the pipette is a mechanical lab tool that gradually loses its ability to provide accurate results. It is simply due to the wear and tear and when this happens you get unreliable results. Thus, it is vital that you consistently calibrate your pipettes as it is essential lab practice to ensure greater quality results. The main object of pipette calibration is to ensure that aliquoting and dispensing are carried out with precision, maintaining accurate results, and longevity of the pipette. How Often Should You Calibrate the Pipettes? Pipette calibration varies depending on...
