Automatic Balances for. Pipettes Calibration

The AP-12.1.5Y is the first automatic device designed to calibrate single- and multi-channel micropipettes with [d] 1 µg, in accordance with ISO 8655 requirements. Pipette calibration can be performed in the volume range from 0.5 μl a maximum of 12 channels of fixed and variable volume pipettes. 

The impressive calibration readability is the result of the co-called separation chamber which stabilizes the measurement path and protects it from excessive air movement. This is a guarantee of high precision measurements.

AP-12.1.5Y

guarantees the comfort of work. The ergonomic design of the device makes it possible to empty weighing vessels, and their overfilling is signalled by Ambient Light. When calibrating a multichannel pipette, a pump is used to simultaneously remove water from four vessels, greatly reducing the time required for pipette calibration.

 

Other factors that affect the ergonomics of work:

• compact, mobile design
• clear, intuitive multilingual menu
• data security
• transfer of results directly to the customer’s computer application
• internal procedure report
• automatic periodic adjustment of the device.

After emptying a 12-channel pipette, the AP-12.1.5Y  checks all channels in a single cycle. In addition to a database of pipette calibration reports, the AP-12.1.5Y includes a database of pipettes that is editable and contains maximum permissible error values according to ISO 8655. The report database, in turn, contains measurements and error values calculated for individual points and volumes. The user determines the format and content of the reports.

The AP-12.1.5Y monitors the ambient conditions using calibrated sensors: THB S (ambient conditions measurement) and THB W (liquid temperature measurement), in accordance with ISO 8655. To calibrate the device with mass standards, the weighing pan must be replaced with a pan dedicated to checking and calibrating the balance (both are included in the standard equipment).

When purchasing the AP-12.1.5Y, you get:

• two calibrated sensors: THB S and THB W,
• two weighing pans: standard, and for balance test and calibration,
• a pump equipped with two nozzles: to draw water from one container or from four containers at once,
• a brush,
• a pincette,
• a vessel for the liquid,
• the Calibration Certificate for the balance.

The AP-12.5Y is designed to calibrate multichannel pipettes starting at 10 μl. The device features a readability [d] of 0.01 mg and can calibrate up to 12-channel fixed-volume and variable-volume pipettes.

Because the pipette calibration on the AP-12.5Y is fully automatic, it is four times faster. The calibration procedure for a 12-channel pipette takes less than 20 minutes, not six hours, on this instrument.

When purchasing the AP-12.5Y, you get:

• two calibrated sensors: THB S and THB W,
• two weighing pans: standard, and for balance test and calibration,
• two pumps: a single-channel pump and a four-channel pump

The ergonomic design of the AP-12.5Y makes it possible to empty weighing vessels, and their overfilling is signalled by Ambient Light. When calibrating a multichannel pipette, a four-channel pump is used to simultaneously remove water from four vessels, greatly reducing the time required for pipette calibration.

After emptying a 12-channel pipette, the AP-12.5Y checks all channels in a single cycle. In addition to a database of pipette calibration reports, the AP-12.5Y includes a database of pipettes that is editable and contains maximum permissible error values according to ISO 8655. The report database, in turn, contains measurements and error values calculated for individual points and volumes. The user determines the format and content of the reports.

The AP-12.5Y can calibrate not only 12-channel pipettes, but also single-channel pipettes.
