 Laboratories
in the diagnostic and research sectors demand the utmost accuracy and
precision from liquid handling devices. GLP guidelines stipulate that
error limits should be checked at regular intervals.
Pipettes can be used over a long period of
time without requiring maintenance; however, leaks may occur as a result
of decomposition of the piston grease caused by frequent pipetting of
corrosive liquids. It is essential to recognize this problem before this
decomposition occurs. The Eppendorf PICASO Pipette Calibration Software
monitors and documents the accuracy and precision of a pipette throughout
its entire operating life. This new program was designed for recording
and processing measuring data from gravimetric or photometric pipette
tests. It can be used to test all pipette types from various manufacturers
and other liquid handling devices such as a bottletop dispenser.
