Where should pipette calibrations be done?
The performance of a pipette is affected by environmental factors including temperature, humidity, and pressure. Finely tuned pipette tolerance limits reflect what is possible using a functional pipette in its working environment. We recommend testing pipette performance in the laboratory in which they are used, or under environmental conditions that are similar to those in your laboratory. For more information on this topic, refer to our Lab Report 5 or visit our Extreme Pipetting Expedition site to see how environmental factors play a role in pipette performance.
