Short Description: RADWAG AP-12.1.5Y is an automatic gravimetric system designed for calibration of laboratory single- and multi-channel pipettes and for evaluation of their dispensing accuracy and repeatability. The system is intended for pipette quality control and metrological supervision in accordance with ISO 8655 requirements.

Produser: AP-12.1.5Y Automatic Device for Multichannel Pipette Calibration

Equipment Information: 

RADWAG AP-12.1.5Y operates according to the gravimetric principle. Water dispensed by a pipette is weighed using a high-precision balance, and the actual dispensed volume is calculated from the measured mass while taking liquid temperature and ambient conditions into account. The obtained results are used to evaluate pipette dispensing accuracy and repeatability.
The system automates a substantial part of the calibration workflow, enables multi-channel pipette channels to be evaluated within a single calibration cycle, and records measurement conditions and results

Key Capabilities:

  • Automated calibration workflow for single- and multi-channel pipettes.
  • Measurement of all multi-channel pipette channels within a single calibration cycle.
  • Integrated monitoring and recording of ambient conditions and dispensed liquid temperature.
  • Automatic calculation of measurement results, dispensing errors and statistical parameters.
  • Integrated database for storing pipettes, calibration procedures and measurement results.
  • Generation of configurable calibration reports and export of results.

Applications:

  • Routine calibration and verification of laboratory pipettes.
  • Evaluation of pipetting accuracy and repeatability.
  • Verification of pipettes after maintenance or repair.
  • Quality control of laboratory liquid-handling equipment.
  • Metrological supervision of pipettes in research, biotechnology, molecular biology and other laboratories

Technical Specification:

Readability: 1 µg.
Maximum balance capacity: 18 g.
Number of channels for multi-channel pipette calibration: up to 12.
Stabilization time: up to 10 s.
Adjustment: internal, automatic.
Display: 10-inch colour touchscreen.
Full technical specifications

Software: Integrated RADWAG 5Y terminal software with dedicated pipette calibration functions. The software enables creation and editing of a pipette database, storage of calibration procedures and results, automatic calculation of measurement errors, and generation of configurable calibration reports. Measurement data can be stored in the system and transferred to a computer.
