Anachem’s Brand New UKAS Accredited Pipette Service Centre Extends Many Years of Achieving This Accolade

From it’s first day of opening, Anachem’s new Pipette Service Centre at Titan Court in Luton has operated under the prestigious UKAS accreditation for pipette calibration, ISO:17025. Anachem, now a Mettler Toledo company, first achieved this internationally recognised standard of competency in 1998. It’s expertise in all makes and models of pipettes, highly skilled technicians, focus on quality and thorough procedures ensured the new facility immediately obtained certification on initial audit.

Obtaining ISO:17025 requires complex and expensive ongoing auditing. Only pipette service agencies holding this standard can guarantee the quality and traceability of the work being performed on your pipettes. Suitability of the laboratory and its environment are closely checked, with temperature and humidity levels being continuously monitored. The training, qualifications and competencies of the technicians, both internal and external, are assessed and a system of continuous evaluation, monitoring and training is maintained. The technical validity of all protocols and procedures are examined and verified. Meticulously kept equipment records are checked to confirm the precision balances used are fit for purpose and within calibration specifications themselves.
