Maintenance and calibration service

For reliable results, it is essential to regularly monitor your test equipment. We offer you an efficient calibration and maintenance service as well as a calibration laboratory accredited by DAkkS.

Liquid Handling Geräte

For your liquid handling instruments

All volumetric instruments subject to test equipment monitoring require written documentation of regular calibration and volume control. Besides the values for accuracy and the coefficient of variation, this documentation also includes information on the type and frequency of the test. 

Frequent inspections are generally time-consuming and expensive: They entail putting the measuring equipment out of operation and – if significant deviations are found – having to adjust and/or repair it. BRAND offers a complete service for this purpose, including the calibration and, if necessary, the repair, maintenance, and adjustment of measuring equipment. This saves you time and money and reduces instrument downtime.

Testing according to DIN EN ISO 8655

  • At BRAND, a team of qualified personnel in temperature and humidity controlled rooms using the most modern balances and calibration software, calibrate liquid handling instruments, regardless of their make, according to DIN EN ISO 8655.
  • Instruments with adjustable volumes such as Transferpette® microliter pipette or the Dispensette® bottle-top dispenser are tested at nominal volume, and at 50% and 10% of nominal volume.
  • Results of the calibration are documented with a detailed calibration certificate, which meets the requirements of many different testing procedures.

BRAND calibration service

  • Calibration and adjustment of liquid handling instruments regardless of their make (BRAND instruments can be maintained and repaired if necessary).
  • Detailed calibration certificate: Works calibration certificate or DAkkS Calibration Certificate.
  • Upon request, we will issue an additional certificate that documents the metrological status of the instruments you send in for adjustment/maintenance/repair.
  • Cost-efficient handling.

BRAND calibration service is available for:

  • Bottle-top dispensers
  • Digital bottle-top burettes
  • Piston-operated pipettes (single- and multi-channel)
  • Repetitive pipettes (Stepper)

Would you like to send in your instrument for calibration or for maintenance and repair?

Customers from Germany: Please fill out the repair and calibration order and the clearance certificate and send them to us along with the cleaned and sterilized instrument.

Customers from other countries: Please contact us so that we can make you a suitable offer.

DAkkS calibration laboratory

BRAND has an accredited calibration laboratory by the DAkkS (Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle GmbH) according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025. The calibration laboratory at BRAND is therefore authorized to issue DAkkS calibration certificates for the following volumetric instruments.

 

BRAND calibrates the following volumetric instruments with the nominal volumes listed below, no matter if they are new or already in use:

  • Piston-operated pipettes,
    from 1 μl to 10 ml
  • Multichannel piston-operated pipettes,
    from 10 μl to 1250 μl
  • Piston-operated burettes,
    from 1 ml to 100 ml
  • Dispensers, dilutors,
    from 0,5 ml to 200 ml
  • Repetitive pipettes
    from 10 μl to 50 ml
  • BRAND Liquid Handling Station
    from 50 μl to 1000 μl
  • Pipettes adjusted to contain
    from 100 μl to 100 ml
  • Glass volumetric instruments,
    adjusted to contain (TC, In), von 1 ml - 10 l
  • Glass volumetric instruments,
    adjusted to deliver (TD, Ex)
    from 0,5 ml to 100 ml
  • Plastic volumetric instruments,
    adjusted to contain (TC, In),
    from 1 ml to 10 l
  • Plastic volumetric instruments,
    adjusted to deliver (TD, Ex)
    from 0,5 ml to 100 ml
  • Glass density bottles made of glass,
    without mercury thermometer,
    Oxygen flasks, Winkler pattern
    from 1 cm 3 to 300 cm3

One crucial difference between works calibration services and DAkkS calibration laboratories is the reliable, DAkkS-monitored declaration of the measurement uncertainty, which is guaranteed by the laboratory.

DAkkS Calibration Certificate

The DAkkS Calibration Certificate officially documents the traceability of measured values to national and international families of standards, including the DIN EN ISO 9001 and DIN EN ISO/IEC 17 025 standards required for the monitoring test equipment.

When do you need a DAkkS Calibration Certificate?

A DAkkS Calibration Certificate is required when calibrations by an accredited laboratory are requested, where very high quality calibrations are demanded and for the calibration of reference standards and instruments for comparative measurements.

Evaluation of calibration results

In the case of DAkkS calibrations, we make a statement of conformity on the basis of the ISO-8655 tolerances, including the extended measurement uncertainty (95% coverage probability).
For new devices and on request, manufacturer tolerances will be considered accordingly. The decision rule in accordance with ILAC-G8:09/2019 is applied.
If you do not want a conformity statement, please let us know.

Our calibration laboratory is flexibly accredited (category III). We are permitted to introduce and apply the standards and calibration guidelines listed below with different issue dates independently. 

 

The flexible scope of accreditation includes the following standards and guidelines with the currently applied issue dates:
