Pipette Calibration Services

Pipette Calibration Services from Aldinger Co.

Pipettes serve as the cornerstone of laboratory precision, enabling accurate liquid handling that determines the validity of research results, diagnostic accuracy, and pharmaceutical quality across scientific disciplines. From pharmaceutical research and clinical diagnostics to biotechnology development and analytical chemistry, pipette accuracy directly impacts experimental reproducibility, dosing precision, and analytical reliability. When pipettes drift out of calibration or deliver inaccurate volumes, the consequences can include invalid research data, failed experiments, incorrect diagnoses, regulatory violations, and compromised product quality that wastes time, resources, and scientific effort.

Aldinger Co. delivers metrology-based pipette calibration services, ensuring the precision and reliability your operations demand.

Our Pipette Calibration Services

Pipette accuracy directly impacts experimental reproducibility, dosing precision, and analytical reliability.

Routine preventive maintenance of a pipette's sealing system — including O-rings, pistons, and tip cones — is the most important factor in long-term accuracy. A well-maintained pipette should not drift significantly between calibrations or require frequent adjustment.

When seals degrade and maintenance is neglected, pipettes begin delivering inaccurate volumes, leading to invalid research data, failed experiments, incorrect diagnoses, regulatory violations, and compromised product quality that wastes time, resources, and scientific effort.

Aldinger offers complete pipette calibration services to keep your critical liquid handling instruments accurate.

Our Process

Pipette calibration is the systematic process of examining and adjusting pipettes to ensure they accurately deliver specified volumes by comparison to traceable measurement standards. This essential service uses gravimetric methodology — measuring dispensed liquid mass under controlled conditions — to verify pipette performance against manufacturer specifications across the instrument's volume range. Metrology-based pipette calibration follows strict guidelines established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and ISO 8655 standards, ensuring standardized methodology and traceable accuracy.

During pipette calibration, certified technicians perform multiple weighings at low and high volume settings to characterize pipette accuracy and precision. They document any performance deviations discovered and, when included in service packages, perform necessary adjustments, preventive maintenance, and repairs to restore pipettes to manufacturer specifications. The gravimetric method provides quantitative, statistically valid data that definitively demonstrates whether pipettes conform to specified tolerances or require corrective action.

Aldinger Co. offers flexible pipette calibration services to meet your specific compliance and budget requirements — from essential preventive maintenance and accuracy adjustment, to full ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration with complete adherence to ISO 8655.
