Pipettes & Infusion Pumps: Volume Accuracy and its Critical Impact- Article
Authors: BioProcess International & Lucas Foerster | Last updated: September 2024
Overview
Precision in volume delivery is crucial for both biopharmaceutical and medical device industries from liquid-filling lines to measurements that are part of a medical device itself or in R&D and QC laboratories. Different factors such as environmental conditions or the nature of the fluid itself, can influence the accuracy of volume delivery. Errors can lead to serious consequences, such as incorrect dosing and product recalls. Infusion pumps and pipettes are essential tools, with standards like IEC 60601-2-24:2012 and ISO 8655:2022 ensuring their precision. Integrated weight cells, also known as load-cells, help to measure the weight of materials with high precision. Additionally, they help to ensure that each product meets exact specifications. Regular calibration, QC procedures, and personnel training minimize errors and ensure proper equipment handling. Adhering to standards, investing in equipment, and training professionals are key to maintaining high care and scientific integrity.
