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) with the
values in the performance specifications
- (p. 109) or the specifications of your
own laboratory. If the results fall within
the specifications, the pipette is ready for
use. Otherwise check both systematic and
random errors and, when necessary, proceed
to the recalibration procedure (Chapter 12.2).
NOTE: Systemic error (inaccuracy) is the
difference between the dispensed volume and the
selected test volume. Random error (imprecision)
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). The
user should establish own specifications based on
the field of use and the accuracy requirements
placed on the pipette (ISO8655-1).

12.2. Recalibration
The calibration of your mLINE pipette has been
factory-checked by using forward pipetting
technique and certified at 22°C using grade
3 distilled water according to ISO 3696. The
