Precision Accuracy Accuracy The Best of Both Worlds Precision + Accuracy

Pipette calibration criteria Calibration Acceptance Criteria Accuracy (mean error): How close a measurement is to an accepted value. Difference between the dispensed mass and the selected volume of a pipette. Precision (random error): Indicates how close together or how repeatable the pipette volumes are. A precise measuring instrument will give very nearly the same result each time it is used.

Averages for Sample Weights and correction factors Mean weight = sum of sample weights of samples number of samples Mean volume = (ave. weight + e) x Z of samples w = mean weight in mg v = mean volume ul e = evaporation rate in mg Z = factor for correction

Introduction to Calibration Activity You will be given a pipet to calibrate Calibration will be done by using the equation Density = Mass/volume Using a balance that can weigh up to 0.001mg Place a weigh boat on the balance and tare it Adjust pipet to 100 ul and place this into

Calibration Continued Adjust pipet to 100 ul volume Attach a fresh pipet tip to the end of the pipet Press the top button down until you meet resistance Place tip into water and slowly release button Now place water into weigh boat on balance Weigh the amount of water present to 1 mg

Calibration Acceptance Criteria Accuracy The closeness of a dispensed volume to the expected volume as set on the pipette It can be determined by how close the volumes measured are to the values expected volumes Measure the weight of the water and
