I understand according to CAP and AABB pipette caliberation has to be done semi annually..right?Do I have to caliberate all the MLA pipettes as well as the GEL MTS PIPETTE? thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Saikin Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 yes - you have to calibrate all pipets you use. I do gravimetric - the FDA has never had a problem with this.send me a message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmm8427 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Where does it say to do it semi-annual? Our facility is being inspected soon, I think it'd be a good thing to know...thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkaw Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 We are not CAP accredited so I cannot speak for their standards. AABB does not specify the interval that your pipettes need to be calibrated. It just says 'at prescribed intervals' (Std 3.5.1, 29th ed.)We actually calibrate ours quarterly; that is defined in our QA policies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Eye Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Technical Manual is not standard so as long as you follow manufacturer recommendation you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
