A Fully Automated Pipette Calibration Solution
Pipette Tracker is a cost-effective automation solution for gravimetric pipette calibration that reduces the time and resources required for scheduling, performing and documenting calibrations.
Pipette Tracker schedules pipette calibrations, automates data collection during calibration, performs all calculations and corrections and produces all required reports. It is suitable for single and multi-channel pipettes and liquid dispensers of fixed or variable volume, as well as volumetric glassware.
Pipette Tracker brings a new level of automation, organization and documentation to pipette calibration.
• Meets ISO/EN 8655, ASTM E1154, DIN 12650, ISO 9000, NCCLS and GLP requirements
• Automatically schedules pipettes for calibration testing
• Automatically collects calibration data from any RS232 balance
• Includes a database of manufacturers calibration specifications for over 1100 pipettes
• Maintains a complete calibration history for all pipettes
• Includes 4 modes for performing calibrations: Addition, Addition-Tare, Subtraction and Subtraction-Tare
• Corrects for environmental conditions such as temperature, barometric pressure and relative humidity
• Performs all calculations associated with pipette testing
Improved Organization and Access to Pipette Calibration Data
Information including serial number, manufacturer, pipette type and pipette location is permanently recorded into the database for each device. Pipette Tracker can also track and store information about the pipette tips used for a calibration. All test results are saved for each pipette providing a full calibration history for each pipette, which can be accessed at any time.
Maintaining a full and secure electronic record of calibration testing results and scheduling eliminates the need for maintenance of paper-based records.
Control the Balance from the Software
Pipette Tracker’s bi-directional command feature can send any command to the balance that it is capable of receiving and responding to these commands. This feature can be used to prompt the balance to send a weight, tare the balance or even open motorized doors.
Cycle Timer
ISO 8655 identifies uneven rhythm and timing as a potential source of error when pipetting. The standard further recommends that, when testing pipette, the test cycle time be kept to a minimum and be kept as regular as possible.
Pipette Tracker supports the standard by including a Cycle Timer that provides an audible prompt that helps the analyst to pipette at regular intervals. Because it is an audible prompt, the analyst can work accurately and precisely without having to be located right at the computer. The use of the Cycle Timer to promote consistent cycle times increases the accuracy of the calibration process.
Full Automation of All Calculations
Pipette Tracker performs all calculations in accordance with the requirements as defined in ISO 8655.
Environmental variables that are often responsible for adversely affecting gravimetric test results are automatically taken into account. During calibration runs, evaporation, temperature, barometric pressure and relative humidity are immediately factored into mass-to-volume calculations as sample results arrive at the computer from the balance.
Automated Scheduling
Pipette Tracker automatically schedules calibration testing for all pipettes in the database by automatically checking each pipette record against the current date to determine if testing is due.
Automated scheduling ensures that regular testing takes place without incurring the cost of having to manually monitor pipette testing intervals.
Reporting
The Pipette Tracker software includes standard reports for calibrations, work-lists, inventory and calibration history that are automatically installed. A powerful report editor gives users access to existing templates and all fields within the database as well as other files such as incorporating your company logo image right into the report allowing users to easily create new highly customized reports. Each report can not only be generated as hard-copy print-out but also as a Text, Excel®, HTML, Tagged Image or Adobe Portable Document (.pdf) file.
