Pipette Calibration Service

Importance of Pipette Calibration for Laboratories in Mumbai

Pipettes are one of the most frequently used tools in research and testing laboratories for precise measuring and transferring of liquid volumes. This is why a Pipette Calibration Service Provider in Mumbai is a must for all laboratories. Pipettes, like all instruments, may deteriorate because of wear, handling, or use. A commonly used method to measure the performance of a pipette is to place it in a calibration set-up under the conditions defined by the user. An understanding of the pipette’s type and accuracy is critical for an organization to define the appropriate calibration method and service level. The service provider can help the user determine acceptable limits for measurement errors. Higher service level agreements (SLAs) may be required when a customer uses expensive, high accuracy, or, infrequently used pipettes for better control and traceability.

Advantages of Pipette Calibration to Laboratories in Maharashtra

Laboratories across Maharashtra use pipettes for routine, advanced, research-based, and diagnostic activities. Establishing a partnership with a pipette calibration service provider, like Sharth Calibration Pvt Ltd, helps laboratories develop and implement a planned maintenance program for their equipment. Laboratories using pipettes for research and diagnosis of health conditions are also required to have in place processes and systems to ensure accurate measurement. Though calibration of an instrument may help in measurement errors, several performance issues are not resolved by calibration alone. It is important for the laboratory to adhere to recommended storage, use, and maintenance practices. The calibration interval should be assessed by the laboratory based on the conditions defined in the laboratory's procedures and practices.

How to Select the Right Pipette Calibration Service Provider in India?

Laboratories that perform critical analysis on liquids or other substances that require accurate dispensing should look for a calibration service that provides calibration for their type of equipment. In India, while evaluating a Pipette Calibration Service Provider, one should look into the type of calibration methodology they implement, the volume coverage and type of pipette, technical competence, reporting practices and the type of accreditation (if applicable) and its scope. Sharth Calibration Pvt Ltd has all of the above mentioned and should be considered by laboratories for outsourcing their pipette calibration needs. Before booking, specify the type of pipette (identification, nominal volume, adjustable range, and intended use) and ask how they will report the measurement results. If an accredited calibration is desired, check if the service providers’ current accreditation scope covers the measurement. It is good practice to keep Calibration and Service records to help the laboratory in managing and reviewing the equipment status, and/or prepare for their quality review meetings.
