Manual Liquid Handling - John Morris Scientific

Services
Pipettes are precision instruments used daily in
routine laboratory work and often involved in critical
laboratory applications. Like any other instrument
they need to be serviced and calibrated regularly to
ensure that they perform to the highest standards.
In line with the ISO 8655, Gilson recommends
disassembling, cleaning, replacement of worn parts
and checking of the calibration every 6 months or
at least once a year. Gilson is a worldwide network
of specialists present in more than 50 countries
offering a breadth of services to address the
demanding requirements of international standards,
Good Laboratory Practices and internal procedures.
Ultimately, we work to provide you with flexible
solutions to extend pipette lifetime and assure you
the highest level of continued accuracy and precision
at a minimum cost.

Gilson preventive maintenance
- repair & calibration services
Pipettes are a staple of most laboratories and probably
one of the most extensively used pieces of equipment.
The pipette is made of a variety of mechanical and/or
electronic parts moving against each other that are often
exposed to corrosive or hazardous chemicals. This exposure
may result in barely visible damage that may not be discovered
unless regular service has been carried out. For example:
• The pipette has been tested on the balance, and is imprecise
and/or inaccurate.
• The pipette leaks after a long period of use.
• The pipette leaks after having been exposed to
contaminating liquids.
• The piston seal and/or O-ring are worn out.
• The stainless steel piston is scratched.
Gilson Service Center gives you the
priority
