Six Levels Service Guide
6 Unique Levels of Pipette Calibration Service Designed to Give our Clients Many Options
Calibrate, Inc. offers 6 Levels of pipette calibration service. Levels 1 through 4 are not accredited to ISO 17025. Levels 5 and 6 fall under our ISO 17025 Accredited Service Program. Each level of service can be customized to meet your needs.
Level 1 Service is most often used by labs engaged in teaching and research at the university level.
Level 2 Service is most often used by labs who require basic documentation of the calibration event but not individual performance data for each pipette serviced.
Level 3 Service is most often used by private and public labs doing supportive research, often by contract, for laboratories regulated by the FDA, CLIA, CAP or other regulatory body. These labs require documentation of each data point and the relative calculations, environmental conditions, and pass/fail status of each pipette serviced. Level 3 is used by many labs that require certification but not measurement uncertainty data for each instrument's calibration event.
Level 4 Service is used by laboratories operating in a regulated environment. These labs are typically involved in clinical trials, forensics or pharmaceutical research, QA studies, or Quality Control and manufacturing, and require complete documentation for both the As-Found and As-Left status of each pipette. Level 4 is used by many labs that require certification but not measurement uncertainty for each instrument's calibration event.
Level 5 is an ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited service and is used by laboratories who want ISO 17025 accredited pipette calibrations and require only As-Left data. Level 5 Calibration Certificates document the environmental conditions present at the time of calibration and provide a statistical analysis of the instrument's performance, the process uncertainty associated with the calibration, and the final pass/fail status expressed in terms of imprecision, inaccuracy and K=2 confidence interval.
Level 6 is an ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited service and is used by laboratories who want ISO 17025 accredited pipette calibrations and require both As-Found and As-Left data. At Level 6, customers receive an As-Found and an As-Left Calibration Certificate for each instrument calibrated. Calibration Certificates document the environmental conditions present at the time of calibration and provide a statistical analysis of the instrument's performance, the process uncertainty associated with the calibration, and the final pass/fail status expressed in terms of imprecision, inaccuracy, and K=2 confidence interval.
