UKAS Pipette Servicing & Calibration

As a UKAS accredited laboratory (4296) you can be sure that our staff are competent and fully trained, that our instruments are calibrated and properly maintained, and our servicing is carried out in the correct conditions. UKAS is an internationally recognised standard which ensures full traceability of data, and requires both internal and external quality control.

As Found UKAS Calibration
As Found Calibration checks the performance of your pipette prior to servicing or as part of your regular checks, no adjustment of the pipette is made; this is purely a statement of how the pipette is performing:

• The pipette will be checked against the specified specification (manufacturer's, ISO 8655 or your own)
• Calibration sticker
• Certificate of Calibration provided for each pipette
• If your pipette is not within specs we can perform a Service & UKAS Calibration (if requested beforehand)

Service & UKAS Calibration

For pipettes requiring a service as well as a calibration to UKAS standards:

• Pipette dismantled, cleaned internally, inspected, leak tested and if necessary, worn parts replaced
• Pipette externally cleaned
• Calibration sticker
• If necessary, your pipette will be adjusted to comply and recalibrated to the specified specification (manufacturer's, ISO 8655 or your own)
• Certificate of Calibration provided for each pipette, showing the results and any spare parts fitted
