Do you tend to skip regular pipette performance verification because you feel it is too difficult or time-consuming?
Greifensee, 01st January, 2019 –As part of its annual e-Calendar, METTLER TOLEDO is pleased to present “Pipette Quick-Check: 5 Practical Tips and an SOP.” This guide focuses on how you can easily ensure accurate dispensing action for all the pipetting assets in your laboratory. In turn, you assure quality, save materials, reduce costs, and even help protect consumers.
Over time, pipettes get dropped and parts wear out, which can affect their performance. This is why the French-based LERN laboratory, which is part of the IFREMER institute in Normandy, regularly verifiesthe performance of all its pipettes by gravimetric quick-checks carried out on the laboratory’s balance.
LERN monitors seashell toxins. If toxin concentrations exceed a certain limit, fishing bans may be enacted to preserve consumer health. Because the lab must weigh the health impacta high level of toxins can have against the business cost of a fishing ban, lab operators must use every tool at their disposal to sure the analyses they perform—and thus their decisions—are airtight.
The quick-check guide will help you learn the techniques LERN operators useto reduce pipette failure risk so that you can uncover pipette malfunctions and ensure your analyses are airtight as well. The guide also reviewspipette technology, correct liquid-handling, setting up a balance for quick-checks and choosing weighing vessels that help manage evaporation for enhanced testing accuracy.
Learn how regular pipette quick-checks can helpreduce pipette-failure risk and ensure your data quality by downloading “Pipette Quick Check: 5 Practical Tips and an SOP” today.
