Precision and accuracy are essential in any laboratory environment, especially when dealing with liquid measurements. In Bangladesh, industries such as pharmaceuticals, research, healthcare, and food testing rely heavily on pipettes for accurate sample handling. Over time, however, pipettes can lose their accuracy due to wear and environmental factors. That’s where pipette calibration becomes crucial — ensuring every drop counts and every measurement remains reliable.
Pipette calibration is the process of verifying and adjusting the accuracy of pipettes to ensure they deliver the correct volume of liquid. It involves comparing the pipette’s actual output against a known standard and making necessary adjustments to meet international accuracy and precision standards such as ISO 8655.
Calibration helps ensure that laboratory test results are trustworthy, reproducible, and compliant with global quality control regulations. Without regular calibration, even small errors in liquid measurement can lead to major deviations in laboratory results — affecting product quality, research validity, and compliance.
In any testing or research environment, even a minor measurement error can lead to costly mistakes. Here’s why pipette calibration is essential for laboratories across Bangladesh:
Accuracy and Reliability:
Regular calibration ensures accurate liquid measurements, which are critical for consistent results in analytical and diagnostic testing.
Compliance with Standards:
Laboratories following ISO/IEC 17025, GMP, or GLP must regularly calibrate their pipettes to meet compliance requirements.
Improved Productivity:
Properly calibrated pipettes reduce the chance of test repetition or wasted reagents, saving both time and cost.
Instrument Longevity:
Routine calibration and maintenance extend the lifespan of pipettes and prevent costly replacements.
Data Integrity:
Accurate pipette performance ensures confidence in laboratory data and results, which is vital for audits, certifications, and customer trust.
Pipette calibration services are essential in a wide range of sectors in Bangladesh, including:
Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology Laboratories
Food & Beverage Testing Facilities
Environmental & Water Testing Labs
Healthcare and Diagnostic Centers
Academic and Research Institutes
Industrial and Chemical Testing Laboratories
As the demand for high-quality lab testing increases in Bangladesh, ensuring the accuracy of pipettes has become a fundamental requirement for maintaining credibility and international compliance.
The pipette calibration process involves several key steps:
Visual Inspection:
Checking the pipette for any physical damage, dirt, or leaks.
Environmental Setup:
Maintaining a controlled environment with specific temperature and humidity for accurate calibration.
Weighing Test:
Dispensing liquid onto a precision balance and converting the weight to volume based on the liquid’s density.
Adjustment and Verification:
Adjusting the pipette if necessary and re-testing to ensure it meets the accuracy tolerance.
Documentation:
Issuing a calibration certificate that records the test results, uncertainty, and traceability details.
The frequency of pipette calibration depends on usage and the criticality of the tests performed. Generally, laboratories in Bangladesh follow one of the following schedules:
Monthly Calibration: For high-usage or critical labs (e.g., pharmaceutical QC labs).
Quarterly Calibration: For routine testing labs.
Semi-annual or Annual Calibration: For low-frequency usage or academic settings.
However, if a pipette is dropped, exposed to harsh chemicals, or shows inconsistent readings, immediate recalibration is recommended.
