This blog discusses how to prepare for on-site calibration.

Pipettes keep your laboratory moving. While a procedure can utilize multiple types of lab equipment, the majority are without a pipette. So, most labs prefer not to send their pipettes away for calibration due to their need for productivity. This blog discusses how to prepare for on-site calibration. Your pipettes never leave the facilities and are ready for use.

The Advantage of On-Site Calibration

Regularly completing an on-site calibration is crucial for ensuring your equipment can continue to provide quality services and that your company can continue to operate efficiently and accurately. Additionally, partnering with an accredited calibration service provider that understands the industry’s needs and standards.

Checklist for Preparing for On-Site Calibration

  • First, create a list of the inventory equipment to be serviced. Also, ensure to include the item number and location to assist the technician in efficiently locating equipment and completing the service. Plus, collect all equipment beforehand and place it in the preferred service area for the technician.
  • Secondly, note any out-of-service or damaged equipment. So, utilize a tag and note as much detail as possible.
  • Clear an equipment service area for service. Also, the employees should not be on the schedule to utilize the equipment.
  • Provide building entry information to your technician. If your building requires additional security or special access, notify your technician beforehand to ensure timely arrival.
