4 – EPRO® SAILOR™ PIPETTES
5. Specifications
The pipette is a high quality instrument which offers
excellent accuracy and precision. The accuracy and
precision (repeatability) of the liquid volume depends on
the quality of pipette tips used. The values for accuracy
and precision shown in the table below were obtained
using manufacturer non-filter pipette tips. Those tips
are recommended for use to ensure compatibility,
accuracy and precision when pipetting. The manufacturer
recommends using EPRO® tips.

The accuracy and precision were obtained gravimetrically
using manufacturer tips performing at least 10 measurements
of distilled water at a temperature of 20°C ± 1°C according to
EN ISO 8655 standards.
The use of tips from other manufacturers or filter tips may
result in incorrect liquid aspiration and require pipette
recalibration.
The design of the pipette enables the user to recalibrate it
according to the information presented in Section 9.
