Page 10: Checking The Volume
Checking the Volume Depending on use, we recommend inspection of the instrument every 3 to 12 months. The cycle can, however, be adjusted to individual requirements. The gravimetric testing of the pipette volume is performed according to the following steps and is in accordance with DIN EN ISO 8655, Part 6. Set nominal volume Set volume to the maximum volume indicated on the instrument (see page 32 for procedure). - Page 11 *) = Calculation of accuracy (A%) and variation coefficient (CV%): A% and CV% are calculated according to the formulas for statistical control. Note: Testing instructions (SOPs) and a demo version of the EASYCAL 4.0 calibration software are available for download at www.brand.de.
