Calibration reports are indexed not only by the serial number of the Pipette, but also by any additional identification codes (such as property tag numbers) or identifying markings found on the Pipettes (such as initials or lab name). 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 GMP/GLP Applications:
- As Found” data collected prior to Inspection, Cleaning, and Disassembly of the instrument.
- Complete Disassembly (as applicable), Inspection and Cleaning of the Instrument.
- Calibration of Instrument to BioMatrix, Inc’s SOP Specifications, or if required, to that of an SOP Addendum developed to meet your unique needs.
- Sticker Affixed to Pipette with Date of Service, Service Provider, the Serial Number of the Instrument, Technician’s Initials, and Next Calibration Due by Month, Day and Year.
- Optional out of Service Report prepared for each instrument that cannot be repaired or is taken out of service.
- Replacement of Teflon seal and O’ring, small internal parts replaced at no extra cost.
- Toll Free Service Center Telephone Number
- All Measuring and Test Equipment Used for Calibration is traceable to the SI (System International) through NIST (Copies Of Measurement and Test Equipment Calibration Certificates are Available Upon Request)
- Accuracy Verification shall consist of three readings at the high and low volumes that cover the range of the instrument for “As Found” Data and five readings at three different volumes that cover the range of the instrument for “As Left” Data.
Calibration Certificate:
Precision Calibration Services provides the Level 3 customer with a computer generated data sheet, entitled the Calibration Certificate. This certificate provides valuable information concerning the pipette, including serial number, size, manufacturer, cost center, and location; the environmental conditions; the N.I.S.T. traceability information concerning Precision Calibration Services; and the Measuring and Test Equipment used in the calibration of the pipette. All Measurement and Test Equipment is traceable to the SI (System International) through NIST. Detailed As Found and As Left data is provided for each pipette serviced.
The Calibration Certificate will list five readings for the pipettes at three levels. These readings will be taken prior to calibration, and will be referred to as Pre-Calibration Data on the certificate. The certificate will also include a calculation of the pass/fail status of the pipette in both its pre and post-calibration states, as well as its overall status.
