SMART PIPETTE - USER GUIDE
CALIBRATION AND ADJUSTMENT
All SMART pipettes are been quality tested according to ISO8655/DIN
12650. The quality control according to ISO 8655/DIN 12650 involves
gravimetric testing of each pipette with distilled water (quality 3, DIN
ISO3696) at 25°C +- 1° C.
All SMART pipettes are been calibrated in ISO/IEC 17025 accredited
laboratory. Each Pipette is calibrated, inspected and validated by
qualified technicians according to defined quality system.
SMART pipettes are constructed to permit re-adjustment for other
pipetting techniques or liquids of different temperature and viscosity.
Devise requirements and test conditions
An analytical balance must be used. The balance selection depends
upon selected model of the pipette and sensitivity of balance reading.
Test liquid: Water, distilled or deionized, grade 3 water conforming
ISO 3696.
Calibration should be carried out in a draft-free room at a constant
(+- 0.5°C) temperature of water, pipette and air between 15°C to 30°C.
The relative humidity must be above 50%, especially with volumes
under 50ul, the air humidly should be as high as possible to reduce
the effect of evaporation loss.
Special accessories for analytical balance, such as the evaporation
trap are recommended for the calibration of volumes under 50ul.
