Scope
European Instruments is the largest and most experienced independent pipette calibration & service organisation in the UK (including Scotland). With over 15 years of expertise in all aspects of pipette maintenance for all makes and models there is no better service to ensure your pipette accuracy and precision. This service is provided onsite at your premises or back to base at our calibration laboratories in Oxford.
Key Features
- Calibrations are performed by expert pipette technicians, using state of the art precision balances, who carry an extensive inventory of original manufacturer parts.
- Choose from three standard test plans: QuickCal, FullCal, UKASCal or we can develop a test plan to suit your calibration requirements.
- Gravimetric evaluation based on your regulatory needs. This assessment can be made against EI service limits or customer specification. Our technical team is able to discuss and guide you through this process.
- We offer a competitive transparent service for pipette calibration with a simple pricing structure. We do not set a minimum charge for a day, you only pay the unit price agreed.

Pipette Limits
We can apply limits specified by you to the calibration.
However many customers do not have specific limits that they would like applied to the calibration results, but rely upon us as the service provider to let you know when a pipette is no longer performing. For this purpose we will apply our EI Standard Pipette Limits.
