Pipette Calibration Services in Southern California
Serving Customers Nationwide for 40+ Years
Micro Quality Calibration (MQC) performs the A2LA accredited ISO/IEC 17025 calibration and certification of pipettes using primarily the “gravimetric” method in accordance with (IAW) and in compliance with the requirements of numerous local and international standards.
These standards include the following:
- ISO/IEC 17025: General Requirements for the Competence of Calibration and Testing Laboratories; 2005
- ISO 8655: Piston-operated Volumetric Apparatus; 2002
- DKD-R 8-1: Calibration of Piston-operated Pipettes with Air Cushion; 2011
- ISO/IEC 17043: Conformity Assessment - General Requirements for Proficiency Testing; 2010
- ISO 13528: Statistical Methods for Use in Proficiency Testing by Interlaboratory Comparisons; 2009
- ISO/TR 20461: Determination of Uncertainty for Volume Measurements Made Using the Gravimetric Method; 2000
- EURAMET/cg-18: Guidelines on the Calibration of Non-Automatic Weighing Instruments; 2011
- ISO 3696: Water for Analytical Laboratory Use; 1991
MQC employs the use of two gravimetric weighing comparators; namely, the Sartorius CC111 Mass Comparator Balance and the Sartorius WZA 225-CW Pipette Calibration Set. These precision mass comparators are used for the traditional gravimetric testing and certification to prove the reliability and accuracy of pipettes.
MQC’s current scope of accreditation sates the following CMCs for the gravimetric calibration and certification of pipettes:
- < 10 µL ……………………………………………….. 0.81% of reading
- 10 µL to 100 µL ………………………………… 0.096% of reading
- 100 µL to 1000 µL …………………………….. 0.20% of reading
- 1000 µL to 10 mL ……………………………… 0.096% of reading
