Pipette Doctor and Biohit have brought out the Quanta pipette-service and calibration software, suitable for any laboratory that services and calibrates pipettes.
Quanta controls and collects calibration data automatically.
It has a comprehensive pipette database and provides calibration specifications in accordance with manufacturers' specifications, ISO8655 maximum permissible errors or user-defined specifications.
Quanta provides automatic calculations on inaccuracy and imprecision, producing concise and easy to understand calibration and other reports.
It also maintains a complete service and calibration history and flags pipettes due/overdue for calibration.
Different versions of the software are available, depending on the level of pipette service or calibration required.
Quantacal is the entry level software, designed primarily for laboratories that simply need to maintain a database of their pipettes, check them against a manufacturer's specification, ISO8655 or their own specification and produce a detailed calibration report to GLP/GMP requirements.
Quantalab, the mid-range version, is a menu-based system, incorporating Quantacal as its base module and additional options such as multiple customer entry.
It is suited to the smaller service company or organisation that tests and maintains its own pipettes in-house.
Quantapro is the most comprehensive service and calibration software, developed for the professional high output pipette service companies or large multi-site end user accounts.
The Quanta software range meets all current ISO 8655, ISO 9000, ISO 17025 standards and supports GLP/GMP requirements.
It can be used with existing calibration protocols.
Quanta will connect to any balance supporting RS232 protocols, including the Mettler Multichannel balances.
Pipette Doctor offers expert technical support for all Quanta users.
A free trial version of the Quanta software is available online.
The first 50 people to download the trial version of Quantacal will receive a free Biohit mLine pipette.
