Page 108: Pipette Calibration
24. PIPETTE CALIBRATION Balance allows pipette calibration by means of a special balance software or by means of cooperation with computer software “Pipettes” intended for pipettes calibration (workstation for pipettes calibration). Before pipettes calibration a special set must be mounted inside the draft shield. The set is an atypical balance equipment.
Page 109 Before pipettes calibration distilled water must be poured into evaporation ring, the amount of water should not exceed 2/3 of the ring height. The set may be operated after about an hour – this period of time is required for moisture stabilisation.
Page 110 Balance with dismounted draft shield and mounted calibration set. Thus prepared balance is ready for performance of pipettes calibration process. Working mode < Pipette calibration> dedicated determining measurement errors of volume in piston pipettes, in accordance with standard ISO 8655 or according to user requirements. In case of calibration carried out in accordance with standard ISO 8655, the errors are automatically selected to tested volume, as specified in the standard (see table of errors for standard ISO 8655).
Page 111  Relative humidity 50 - 75%  Use distilled water for pipettes calibration processes  A pipette, tips and distilled water should be stabilized for temperature in weighing room. reference norm advises that minimum acclimatization time for above mentioned is 2 hours. While calibrating process, balance user refers to the database of pipettes including data on pipettes, its parameters, tested volume, and values of errors determined for specific volumes.
