to show on the display the number of pipettings
since the last calibration. The counter is reset to zero when the calibration is performed.
Checking the calibration
The pipette calibration is checked with the maximum volume (nominal volume) and with the minimum
volume. A new tip is first pre-wetted 3 to 5 times and a series of ten pipettings are done with both
volumes. A pipette is always adjusted for delivery (Ex) of the selected volume. Measuring volumes
taken from balance is not allowed.
1.
Do 10 pipettings with the minimum volume.
2.
Do 10 pipettings with the maximum volume.
3.
Calculate the accuracy (A) and precision (cv) of both series.
4.
Compare the results to the limits in
If the calculated results are within the selected limits, the adjustment of the pipette is correct.

Two point calibration
The two-point calibration is the standard calibration.

One-point calibration
The one-point calibration can be used if a single specific volume must be calibrated. The calibration
volume can be selected from the entire volume range. Note that the inaccuracy of other volumes
changes also and the performance for other volumes cannot be assured.

Do the pipetting series with the calibration volume.
