SpeedCal - Multi-Channel-Pipette Calibration System
Calibrate your 12 channel pipettes in just 8 minutes
Speedcal Mobile is a patented multichannel pipette calibration system that enables simultaneous measurement of up to 12 volumes. It is also compatible with single-channel pipettes and can calibrate pipettes ranging from 0.5 µl upwards in accordance with ISO 8655:2022 standards.
Its benefits include fast calibration through parallel measurement, ensuring compliance with ISO standards and is available in 4, 8, or 12-channel versions with the option for later upgrades.
The compact, wheeled transport trolley enhances mobility for on-site calibrations. Speedcal Mobile includes a temperature-controlled water reservoir to maintain the test liquid within the defined temperature range, and a climate tower monitors ambient parameters like temperature, barometric pressure, and air humidity for a complete calibration solution.
Benefit from:
- Test 12 channels as described in ISO 8655:2022 Part 6 in approximately 10 minutes
- Readability of 0.01 mg to check pipettes from 0.5 µl
- Benefit from a stabilization time of < 4 seconds
Gravimetric calibration and testing of piston-operated volumetric apparatus
Reliable and reproducible liquid handling results depend on the regular testing and calibration of instruments. Globally, the most accepted International Standardization Organization (ISO) standard that details requirements for producing and in-use control of piston-operated volumetric apparatus (POVA) is the ISO 8655. In this white paper, Sartorius presents the requirements for gravimetric calibration and testing of POVA according to part 6 and part 7 of the ISO 8655, revised in 2022. Furthermore, the differences between calibration and testing according to chapters 6 and 7, which describe the testing method, testing environment, testing equipment, and reporting requirements, will be explored.
