Calibration of Multichannel Pipettes Using the Artel MVS®

Introduction

The Multichannel Verification System (MVS) was used to fulfill test and calibration requirements of a handheld pipette according to CLSI QMS23:2019, ISO 17025:2017, cGMP, and cGLP. ArtelWare software facilitated compliance to 21 CFR Part 11. This application note provides an example of calibrating an 8-channel, adjustable volume pipette using the MVS with ArtelWare software version 2.2.

Gravimetry takes approximately 1 minute per sample measurement. For the 8-channel pipette assessed in this instance, it would require 240 pipetting steps, resulting in 4 hours (240 minutes) to calibrate.
