Anachem has been designated the world's first official Gilson authorised pipette service organisation
This achievement means Anachem is able to display the exclusive Gilson 'Centre of Excellence' logo.
Anachem's operations are regularly audited by Gilson to ensure they meet the manufacturer's high standards and requirements Gilson's own pipette calibration laboratory in France was this year accredited by Cofrac (Comite Francais D'accreditation).
Cofrac is a full member of Ilac (International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation) and it is one of many international accreditation organisations associated with it.
This includes Ukas (United Kingdom Accreditation Service).
Laboratory accreditation provides a means of determining the competence of laboratories to perform specific types of testing, measurement and calibration.
It enables people who want a product, material or instrument to be checked or calibrated, to find a reliable testing or calibration service able to meet their needs.
Anachem was the first pipette calibration laboratory in Great Britain to be Ukas accredited, and has withheld this status for over six years.
Accreditation by an Ilac recognised body ensures that the calibration laboratory respects ISO 17025 requirements for its organisation and ISO 8655 requirements for its technical reliability concerning pipette calibration.
The Anachem Pipette Service Centre is considered as an independent metrological laboratory allowing it to issue calibration certificates for pipettes.
These certificates contain information relating to the pipette owner and the calibration laboratory, a test report, and a conformity certificate.
The Ukas logo on the certificate proves that the measurements are linked to the International System Units in conformity with ISO 8655 and in a laboratory according ISO 17025.
Very importantly, laboratory accreditation provides formal recognition to competent laboratories, thus providing a ready means for customers to access reliable testing and calibration services.
Choosing a pipette from Gilson, together with service and calibration by Anachem, its authorised dealer, assures that your pipetting system is of the highest quality, recognised and audited to international standards.
