13.  For conformity evaluation calculate the random 
error of the measurement:
  as standard deviation s =   ∑(V
i
 –
⊽)
2
   
     
  n –1
   
 
n = number of measurement (10)
  or as coefficient of variation CV =  100s/
⊽
14.  Compare the systematic error (inaccuracy) and 
random error (imprecision) to the performance 
specification values in chapter 14., or to the 
specifications of your own laboratory.
NOTE: Systematic error is the difference between 
the dispensed volume and the selected test volume. 
Random error is the scatter of the dispensed volumes 
around the mean of the dispensed volume. (ISO 8655-
1.)
NOTE: Sartorius specifications are achieved in 
strictly controlled conditions (ISO 8655-6). Users 
should establish acceptable maximum permissible 
errors based on  the field of use and the accuracy 
requirements placed on the pipette (ISO 8655-1).

12.1. Recalibration
The  eLINE® electronic pipette’s calibration has been 
factory checked and certified at 22°C using grade 3 
distilled water according to ISO 8655. The pipette’s 
specifications are guaranteed only with genuine 
Sartorius tips.
