Ensuring precision in laboratory testing is fundamental to maintaining data integrity, safety, and compliance. At International Process Solutions (IPS), we specialize in pipette calibration standards that guarantee the accuracy and reliability of liquid handling instruments across industries. Our commitment to ISO 17025 accreditation, rigorous testing protocols, and traceable calibration methods places us at the forefront of laboratory quality assurance.

The Importance of Pipette Calibration

Accurate pipette calibration is essential for laboratories that demand consistent measurement performance. Even slight deviations in liquid volume can impact:

• Pharmaceutical testing results
• Biotechnology research accuracy
• Clinical diagnostics reliability
• Environmental and food testing compliance

Over time, pipettes may experience mechanical wear, environmental influences, and operator handling issues. Without strict calibration, these instruments can compromise data accuracy, reproducibility, and regulatory compliance.

At IPS, we recognize that calibration is not optional—it is an essential part of maintaining scientific credibility.

Our ISO 17025 Accredited Calibration Standards

IPS operates under ISO 17025:2017 accreditation, the global benchmark for testing and calibration laboratories. This accreditation ensures that every calibration process follows internationally recognized standards.

Our calibration process includes:

• Gravimetric Analysis: Using high-precision balances to measure liquid volume based on weight.
• Environmental Control: Calibration conducted under strictly monitored temperature and humidity.
• Traceability: All measurements traceable to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology).
• Multichannel Pipette Testing: Comprehensive calibration for both single-channel and multichannel pipettes.

This structured methodology ensures that laboratory professionals can rely on their instruments for critical testing.

Detailed Calibration Process

Our pipette calibration standards follow an exacting sequence to guarantee consistency:

1. Inspection and Cleaning: Each pipette is examined for physical wear, contamination, or mechanical issues.
2. Environmental Stabilization: Instruments are stabilized under controlled laboratory conditions.
3. Volume Testing: Pipettes are tested at multiple volume points (typically 10%, 50%, and 100% of nominal capacity).
4. Gravimetric Measurement: Each dispensed sample is weighed using a high-precision balance.
5. Statistical Analysis: Data is compared against acceptable tolerance levels for accuracy and precision.
6. Adjustment and Repair: If deviations occur, IPS performs in-house adjustments and component replacements.
7. Certification: A detailed ISO-compliant calibration certificate is issued for documentation and audits.

Regulatory Compliance and Industry Standards

IPS ensures that pipette calibration aligns with strict regulatory requirements:

• ISO 8655: The international standard for piston-operated volumetric apparatus.
• GLP/GMP Compliance: Calibration meets Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) guidelines.
• FDA and EPA Regulations: Pipette calibration supports compliance in regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and environmental testing.

With IPS, laboratories can rest assured that their calibration processes withstand internal audits, third-party inspections, and regulatory reviews.
