Pipette calibration services for Oxford laboratories
AccuCal provides specialist pipette calibration to laboratories across Oxford and the surrounding Thames Valley region. From the University of Oxford research departments to the busy science parks at Harwell, Milton, and Begbroke, our engineers serve Oxford’s research institutes, biotechs, hospital labs, and university departments with reliable, ISO 8655-compliant calibration.
Onsite pipette calibration in Oxford
Most of our Oxford customers choose onsite calibration. Our engineer visits your laboratory with all the equipment required and calibrates your pipettes on the bench, usually completing the work within a single visit. This avoids downtime, removes the risk of damage in transit, and means your pipettes are calibrated under the conditions they actually work in.
Postal calibration is also available with a standard turnaround of 3 to 5 working days for batches of up to 15 pipettes.

What our Oxford pipette calibration includes
Each pipette receives a multi-point gravimetric test at the required volumes, performed on calibrated analytical balances in a controlled environment. Calibration can be carried out against manufacturer specifications, the ISO 8655 standard, or your own customer-defined tolerances. We measure both accuracy and precision and issue a full calibration certificate accepted by most laboratory quality systems.
Minor adjustments and seal replacements are carried out as part of the same visit. If a pipette is found out of specification, we will usually service and re-calibrate it on the spot to minimise lab downtime.
