An alternative compared to conventional procedures at the calibration of piston pipettes is the use of SpeedCal. SpeedCal is a device which the calibration process of piston pipettes with up to 12 channels as far as possible automated.

The advantages at use of such a device are to be ovious:

• The time of previous inspection might be used more reasonable.
• The time of inspection is considerable reduced.
• 80 % time saving for the calibration of muliti-channel piston pipettes
• 50 % time saving for the calibration of single-channel piston pipettes
• The previous quality level at the inspection process will be kept and even improved.
