Calibration reports are identified and indexed by the pipette’s serial number, manufacturer, and size. The next recommended service date is based on a semi-annual maintenance schedule, unless otherwise specified by the client.
Preventative Maintenance and Accuracy Verification for non-GMP/GLP Applications:
- Complete disassembly (as applicable), and internal and external inspection and cleaning of instrument.
- Replacement of Teflon seal, O-ring, or grease, as applicable, and as recommended by the manufacturer.
- Replacement of broken or worn out parts as required.
- Sticker affixed to pipette with information such as date of service and service provider, the serial number of the instrument, technician’s initials, date of calibration, and next calibration due by month, day and year. Specific details concerning the information to be presented on the calibration label are determined with the customer during the contract review process.
