How this PT is scored

Each reported value is compared with the Lake Balance reference value using the En number, which accounts for both your expanded uncertainty and ours. Results are available in the customer portal. See Pipette proficiency testing, all calibration PT programs, and our ISO/IEC 17043 certificate & scope.

Sample instructions

To complete this PT, you will need a balance set to grams that has a capacity of 0.5 g or more and a readability of 0.01 mg or better. When you receive the test pipette marked PIPETTE-117, please allow 24 hours before the test to acclimate to room temperature. Utilize the tips provided with the pipette for all data collection. (NOTE: Excessive handling of the pipette before and during testing can affect results due to body heat from the hand warming the pipette. Wearing gloves or allowing the pipette to rest for 5 minutes between volume points can help reduce this possibility.)

Calibrate the balance with your weight set and fill out a calibration report like you would for a customer. Use Lake Balance Calibration Solutions as the customer.
