UKAS Calibration out of the box with Alpha Lab Service

Every regulated environment needs to ensure the accuracy and precision of all instruments introduced into the laboratory. Alpha Laboratories makes this as easy as possible by providing the option to deliver your new pipettes to you, ready to use, out of the box, with an ISO 17025 accredited UKAS calibration as specified by your laboratory’s requirements.

UKAS calibration of instruments, carried out by a UKAS accredited service provider, ensures compliance for regulated environments that require full traceability to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard.

UKAS Calibration certificates are recognised worldwide by the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) and provide guaranteed traceability to your national standards. Clear presentation of all measured results are detailed on the calibration certificate together with the calculated uncertainty of measurement.

Getting your new pipettes ready calibrated to UKAS leveI is easy. Just request the calibration required and specify the pipette tips used in your laboratory, when you place your order with Alpha Laboratories. Leave us to do the rest!

For best results ISO 8655:2022 recommends a 10@3 Calibration with PreCal. ISO 8655:2022 parts 2, 6 and 7 require tolerances for the nominal volume, 50% of nominal volume, and 10% of nominal volume. The tests must be done with at least 10 repetitions per tested volume and at three points, minimum.

'As Found' readings or 'Pre-Calibration' readings show how pipettes have performed since their last service and calibration. This is important for GLP or GMP environments as it demonstrates that equipment and instrumentation is being used in accordance with strict procedural and performance criteria between services.
