PRESS RELEASEFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Enhanced accuracy and reliability
DAkkS Accredited Pipette Service
Cole-Parmer EMEA are proud to announce that our Pipette Service were recently awarded DAkkS accreditation to DIN ENISO / IEC 17025: 2018 DAkkS standards. DAkkS is the national accreditation body of the Federal Republic of Germany. It acts
according to Regulation (EC) No. 765/2008 and the Accreditation Law in the public interest as sole service provider foraccreditation in Germany. We are especially pleased with this achievement because it demonstrates that we provide aservice to the highest calibration quality standard (ISO 8655:2009) and is confirmation of our competence in providing
accurate and reliable measurement results when undertaking the service, repair and calibration of a range of single- andmulti-channel pipettes.

As scientific experts we appreciate that using and looking after pipettes correctly is paramount to maintaining accuracy andachieving repeatable and reproducible results. The pipette has hidden complexities for an instrument that looks so simple
in design, and yet if it is used properly it can be precise on a microscopic level, delivering to a specified nominal volume.
Everyone knows how inaccuracies and errors of laboratory equipment can affect results. In order to maintain accuracy, it isimportant to service each pipette at least once a year. This guarantees that you can standardise the delivery of a precise
volume, whilst extending your pipettes’ lifespan, and avoiding poor performance and leakages. Indeed, the requirementsfor precision and reliability of laboratory data are growing continuously. High quality management standards, such as theISO 9000 series and GMP, require periodic inspection and maintenance of the test equipment. Only in this way can accurate,reliable and traceable results be ensured in the long term.

The Cole-Parmer Pipette Service, as a conformity assessment body, attests the quality of its own work through accreditation.
Our calibration laboratory is authorised according to DIN EN ISO / IEC 17025: 2018 to perform DAkkS calibrations on piston
pipettes and dispensers. This ensures complete traceability of measuring instruments to national standards. Moreover,thanks to our many years of experience in pipette calibration and the regular training of our service technicians, the staff inour calibration laboratory have the required level of competence to: identify and quantify all processes; document
measurement uncertainties with all measurement results; evaluate measurement results in accordance with a specifically
