Liquid Handling Calibration Solutions Why Calibration Standards Matter in Liquid Handling
Precise liquid measurement is fundamental to high-quality scientific work, whether you’re performing qPCR, drug discovery, cell culture, diagnostics, or regulated laboratory testing. Liquid handling calibration standards such as ISO 17025 and ISO 8655 ensure that pipettes, repeaters, and bottle-top dispensers deliver the expected volume accurately and consistently.
Accurate calibration is essential because it:
- Ensures traceable, reproducible performance
- Reduces experimental variability and assay drift
- Supports GLP/GMP, CLIA, CAP, FDA compliance, and internal QA/QC requirements
- Prevents costly repeat tests caused by volume errors
- Protects data integrity in high-stakes workflows
Even slight deviations in volume can lead to unreliable results, making calibration an essential part of every lab's quality management process.
BRANDTECH offers a full range of calibration solutions that meet ISO 17025 and ISO8655 standards through our partnership with Transcat Pipettes and Labmed Solutions.
Wondering if your pipette is not performing to spec between calibration intervals according to your SOP?
Save Time by Starting with Pipettes that arrive with ISO 17025 / ISO 8655 Calibration Certificates
For labs that require validated calibration data before new pipettes can be put in service, BRANDTECH can deliver the Transferpette® family of pipettes with ISO 17025 / ISO 8655 calibration certificates. With calibration data showing your new pipette meets the strictest international standards for accuracy and precision, you won’t have to deal with any delays or additional calibration expenses before your new Transferpette pipette can be placed into service.

By starting with pipettes that come with a ISO 8655-compliant calibration certificate, you can ensure maximum data integrity from day one. You can trust Transferpette pro pipettes to give you repeatable, high-quality, and verifiable results.
Labs striving for compliance, reproducibility, and immediate deployment into regulated workflows such as Quality Control, ISO Accredited, and GLP/GMP Laboratories, are critically aware of how important it is to have ISO 8655 compliant pipette calibration data to satisfy documentation requirements. You can order the same reliable and accurate Transferpette® pro pipettes with ISO 8655 calibration certificates and expect to receive the pipette within one to two weeks. Each pipette is calibrated by our ISO 17025 accredited partner, Transcat Pipettes, immediately before shipment in order to maximize working time with your pipettes before your SOP requires recalibration.
Calibration Service Options
For routine calibration, pipettes should be calibrated by an ISO 17025-accredited calibration facility that satisfies the requirements for accuracy and precision in your lab. ISO 8655 is the most demanding test standard for calibrating pipettes and other piston-operated volumetric apparatus.
With our authorized partners Transcat Pipettes in the United States and Labmed Solutions in Canada, we are able to meet your ongoing calibration needs with both mail-in and on-site calibration service options.
