A simple choice for pipette calibration

CAMBRIDGE, U.K. - Aug. 25, 2016 - PRLog -- BD Biosciences relies on METTLER TOLEDO Rainin for calibration and servicing of all the pipettes used by its Greater San Diego facilities. Omar Richards, Instrumentation Supervisor, explained: "Our operations in the San Diego area cover everything from R&D to manufacturing and quality control, and pipettes are used across virtually every area of the business. They account for almost half of our total equipment list – we have around 2,500 pipettes at any time – making careful management of pipette servicing and calibration both essential and challenging. I have worked with Rainin for around 22 years in various roles and, in my opinion, the company's pipette service is unmatched. When I came to BD Biosciences, and saw the level of service we were receiving from our incumbent provider, it was a very easy decision for me to switch to Rainin."

"We now ship all our pipettes out to Rainin for servicing, as there are certain aspects of the calibration that really cannot be performed outside of a controlled metrology lab environment. All pipettes used in our R&D and manufacturing groups are calibrated every 12 months, and our QC areas have recently switched from three- to six-month calibrations, as the data showed that the risk of a failure between calibrations was very low. The Rainin team really are the subject matter experts when it comes to pipettes, and using the company's services ensures complete process security and peace of mind."
