When is a μL not a μL? Have you ever picked up your pipette and thought… Is this accurate? Latest news News Pipettes are used to measure and transfer liquids; a simple enough processes until you really think about it. What if it isn’t reliably aspirating the correct amount of liquid? What will this do to your results? Can you rely on the results you are getting if your pipette is not calibrated? The answer is…no. The pipette is one of the most commonly used instruments in labs everywhere. Many pipettes are shared; they are used with varying liquids and are treated differently by different users. Pipettes work by creating an air gap to aspirate and then dispense liquid. The air gap is proportional to the amount of liquid that is being dispensed and it can be affected by many different factors. Usage over time, damage and general wear can have a major impact on dispensing accuracy and precision. If your pipette has not been checked and calibrated, the quality of the results obtained is questionable. It may not seem like a major factor at the time, but repeated incorrect dispensing can have a cumulative impact on results and can lead to major errors or even test failures. Next time you use a pipette, think about the quality of the results you want to achieve and whether the pipette in your hand is going to deliver. Imagine the peace of mind that comes from knowing that all your valuable samples are being dispensed reliably every time you pick up your pipette. At Thermo Fisher Scientific we know that selecting the right pipette calibration service is important for the success and efficiency of your laboratory.
