AccuTek Laboratories is not only ISO9001:2000 Certified but also audited and certified to be fully complient with ISO/IEC17025:2005 international quality standard for calibration and testing laboratories. Our service options are designed to meet scientists individual requirements for pipette servicing. For all services, a computer generated calibration report is included with performance data on each pipette, pass/fail status, specification and environmental data. Each pipette receives labels with pipette ID, serial number, job ID number, service date and next due date. All our procedures and certifications fulfill GMP, ISO, NCCLS, CAP, CLIA and FDA guidelines.

This service is designed to meet most users' requirements and provides a complete and thorough overhaul of each pipette. Each instrument is disassembled, cleaned and refinished to "like-new" condition. All parts are carefully inspected, pistons are polished and on most pipettes, the piston seal and o-ring are replaced. AccuTek maintains an extensive stock of replacement parts for almost all manufactures and types of pipettes. A computer- controlled calibration with a total of 20 test data points is taken for each instrument to derive mean, precision and CV.

Service Highlights:

Complete disassembly, cleaning and refurbishing
New Seal & O-ring (most pipettes)
Computer controlled re-calibration
Computer generated performance reports
Leakage test and functional diagnosis
Warranty: 1 year for parts / 90 days calibration

$35 for single channel manual pipettes
$40 for single channel electronic pipettes 
$40 for motorized and repeaters pipettes
$50 for four channel pipettes
$60 for eight channel pipettes
$70 for twelve channel pipettes

This service is designed for those pipettes that are on a regularly scheduled certification program. Upon receipt each pipette receives a functional diagnosis which includes seal/shaft leakage test, parts and performance inspection. A performance verification is performed on each pipette. Instruments that are within specifications and those instruments which require slight adjustments are adjusted to pipette specification and returned to the customer without any further work. A total 10 test data points are taken for each instrument to derive mean, precision and CV. No PM is included in this service. Instruments that fail the functional diagnosis or adjustments are directed, upon user approval,  for an additional charge to the Calibration Program to be reconditioned and calibrated.

Service Highlights:

Functional diagnosis/parts performance inspection
Computer controlled calibration/adjustments
Computer generated performance reports

$25 for single channel pipettes   
$30 single channel electronic/repeaters
$40 for multichannel pipettes

"As Found" Data
Upon receipt, calibration test performed on all pipettes and data is reported.
$5 Additional per instrument

GLP/GMP Compliance Report
The GMP Pipette Report is an extensively documented individual certificate.

AccuTek offers customized services such us special handling, labeling, user specified test volumes, extra readings as well as customized calibration and pipette management programs tailored to our clients special needs. Custom schedule and calibration frequencies may be set for individual department needs. Please inquire with your requirements.

AccuTek reports are designed to meet the high requirements of laboratories complying with GLP/GMP requirements. Our procedures follow NCCLS, CAP and CLIA guidelines for volumetric measuring device certification. The reports are meant to serve as a complete record satisfying GMP/GLP,ISO, FDA, CLIA, and other regulatory agencies requirements for maintenance records of laboratory equipment. Certification Calibration Reports are traceable to NIST standards and are available in two forms.

Standard Calibration Report 

The Calibration Report is a standard for all types of calibration and verification services. The report provides calibration data and includes mean, standard deviation, CV for each instrument, as well as specifications to which each instrument was tested and a summary of laboratory conditions and equipment. 

GMP Pipette Certification 

The GMP Pipette Certification Report is an extensively documented individual certificate for each pipette. In additional to information included in the standard calibration report it provides every calibration reading obtained for each pipette, calibration standards and technician name.
