How is a Pipette calibrated?

How is a Pipette calibrated?

A pipette is a laboratory tool used to accurately transfer or measure small amounts of liquid. The capacity of a pipette and the degree of precision with which the volume of a sample can be measured depend on its design. They are calibrated to ensure accuracy and to establish a known reference for measuring the volume of a sample. Although there are different types and sizes of pipettes, the principle of operation is the same, a small amount of liquid is aspirated into the top of the pipette and then exhaled into the bottom. Pipettes are calibrated regularly to ensure that they remain accurate.
