The best pipette calibration device on the market
Application Area: Pipette calibration
"The SpeedCal is a 12-load cell balance capable of calibrating any pipettes up to 12 channels at once. It is like having 12-5 place balances in one machine. The instrument is rather expensive at just over $100K USD, if your lab is managing a large volume of pipettes this will allow you to service your pipettes at a fraction of the time it would take you to do the same in a single pan balance. As an example, a 12-channel pipette to calibrate it to meet ISO 8655 with before and after data it would take you nearly 6 hours to calibrate. With the SpeedCal you are done in 15 minutes. So, if you had 20 of these to do every month you would only be able to service 1 a day with a conventional setup. With the SpeedCal you can service them all in 1 day. With the new ISO requirements that now require any pipette 20μL or less requiring a 6-place balance, there is an exception if you're using a device like the SpeedCal. This means that if you only had a 5-place balance in your lab to begin with, you will be faced with the reality that you will have to invest in a microbalance. At this point the SpeedCal looks even more appealing."

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
