Pipette Calibration Services
At P-Squared Technologies, we put every pipette we receive for service and calibration through a detailed assessment and refurbishing procedure, to ensure that your pipette will be accurate long after our calibration service and all the way through to the next service cycle.
Our process includes a thorough cleaning of each pipette, both inside and out. We not only remove the surface dirt, we disassemble the unit, and refurbish and replace any parts, as necessary. We then clean, polish and re-lubricate the critical components. Cleaned and refurbished pipettes are finally reassembled and tested for proper functionality prior to calibration.
Our standard is simple: we return your pipettes to you looking, feeling, and performing “like new.”
Pipette brands that we calibrate
P-Squared Technologies performs calibrations of ALL major brands and types of pipettes. Examples are:
- Eppendorf
- Gilson
- Labnet
- VWR Scientific
- Rainin
- Hamilton
- Biohit/Sartorius
- Thermo Scientific
- Biohit
- Brand
- Corning
- HTL
- Nichiryo
- StarLab
- Capp
Only when a pipette is in perfect working condition will we calibrate it.
Our fully-trained staff of calibration technicians are capable of performing over 98% of all necessary pipette repairs without any service delay. Those pipettes that require extensive repair are held back, with the pipettes that pass our rigorous inspection fully calibrated and returned on time. We typically repair and calibrate pipettes within a
three day turnaround time.
Because we’re
independent of any pipette manufacturer’s priorities and agendas, we replace parts only as needed, (except when requested otherwise by a client or for Gilson Pipetman® models, for which we replace single channel piston o-ring and seals at every service as good preventative maintenance).
To eliminate the majority of service delays, P-Squared Technologies maintains a stock inventory of commonly replaced parts for almost every pipette brand and model.

here.
P-Squared Technologies offers in-lab pipette calibration services using the gravimetric method for testing of volumetric dispensing devices with single and multichannel configurations. Pipette calibrations are performed in a controlled laboratory environment with an ambient condition monitor. All pipette calibrations are performed in compliance with
ISO 8655 in whole or in part upon customer request.
ISO 8655 is the international standard for calibrating a Piston Operated Volumetric Apparatus in the field and or any time after the initial OEM calibration performed upon manufacturing. This standard was formed in part to acknowledge the improbability of meeting the original specifications set by the manufacturers which typically can only be met upon the original calibration prior to normal use.
We are working on our ISO 17025 accreditation to perform pipette calibrations.
