Guide to ISO 8655-10 for Pipettes

Good Pipetting Practice™ (GPP™) was developed by METTLER TOLEDO Rainin as a practical, science-based approach to help scientists improve the accuracy and efficiency of their experiments. The GPP Master Class in Liquid Handling seminar covers all aspects of pipetting, including selecting pipetting solutions and best practices aligned with ISO 8655-10 standards. The GPP Quality Management Seminar assists laboratory and quality managers in implementing risk-based, effective quality management of pipetting in their labs.

ISO 8655:2022 covers requirements for pipette manufacturing, calibration, routine testing, and user training, which together help laboratories ensure pipetting reliability and accuracy. The 2022 update impacts manufacturers, calibration service providers, and end users. To ensure your laboratory meets the updated ISO 8655 requirements, download our comprehensive guide. 

ISO 8655-10:2024 offers detailed guidance for performing routine testing on pipettes and other piston-operated volumetric apparatus (POVA) using a laboratory balance.

This resource outlines the essentials of routine pipette testing, shares five valuable tips to help ensure accurate and consistent testing, and provides a customizable standard operating procedure (SOP) suitable for implementation in any laboratory setting.
