In this application note from Sartorius, explore the frequently asked questions (FAQs) for the new ISO 8655:2022 “Piston-Operated Volumetric Apparatus”. The questions cover various aspects, including testing methods, alternative measurement standards, reference measurement procedures, pipette calibration, and more.

In this application note, Sartorius provides information on how to ensure pipettes meet the required ISO certification. According to Standard DIN EN ISO 8655-2 volumetric measuring instruments such as piston pipettes must be checked at regular intervals, and at least once per year. Shorter time intervals may be specified by the users depending upon the frequency of use, number of users, aggressive nature of the pipetted liquids and the acceptable maximum permissible errors established by the user.

In this application note, Sartorius introduces a solution for effectively performing, managing, and maintaining ISO-compliant pipette calibrations. The focus is on enhancing data integrity, lab efficiency, and compliance through the use of data and fleet management software. The note emphasizes the challenges labs face in tracking tools and equipment, especially when shared among multiple groups, leading to increased paperwork and data management. Sartorius addresses these challenges with the Ingenix Suite, offering a central digital database for the storage of compliance and calibration data, with the newly introduced Ingenix Suite Advanced Pipette Calibration Module providing additional functionality to the Fleet Manager platform.

In this application note, Sartorius presents Cubis® MPS, a specialized system tailored for the calibration of single-channel pipettes. Designed for customers who prioritize fast stabilization times and ergonomic handling, Cubis MPS offers automatic operation features. This includes a touch-free automatic draft shield equipped with motion sensor technology. This innovation allows for error-free and ergonomic workflows by recognizing user proximity and automatically adjusting the shield accordingly, ensuring optimal calibration processes.

In this infographic, Sartorius outlines key details from ISO 8655:2022, which updates requirements for producing and controlling piston-operated volumetric apparatus (POVA), specifically focusing on part 2: pipettes. The note highlights that ISO 8655:2022 treats a pipette and its tip as a unified system, necessitating comprehensive testing of each pipette-tip combination to ensure compliance with the standard's specifications.

Reliable and reproducible liquid handling results depend crucially on the regular test and calibration of the instruments. The globally most accepted International Standardization Organization (ISO) standard that details requirements for producing and in-use control of piston-operated volumetric apparatus (POVA) is the ISO 8655. In this whitepaper, Sartorius discusses the requirements for gravimetric calibration and testing of piston-operated volumetric apparatus (POVA) according to part 6 and part 7 of the ISO 8655 revised in 2022. The paper presents the differences between calibration and testing according to chapters 6 and 7, and describes the testing method as well as the testing environment, testing equipment, and reporting requirements.

In this application note, Sartorius discusses the new ISO 8655:2022, outlining its provisions for the production and in-use control of piston-operated volumetric apparatus (POVA). The standard encompasses various aspects, including testing methods, environmental conditions, equipment requirements, reporting guidelines, measurement uncertainty criteria, and general operational requirements for pipettes, burettes, dilutors, dispensers, and manually operated precision laboratory syringes.

In this poster, Sartorius highlights the importance of cleaning your pipette for sample integrity as well as providing a step-by-step guide on how to clean your pipette.
