Pipette service and calibration from only £22
Fast and affordable support tailored for your lab
Performed to your specifications and complete with a complimentary, audit-ready digital certificate for total measurement confidence.
Peace of mind for your liquid measurements
Pipettes play a crucial role in ensuring precise liquid volume transfers, but their performance can be affected by daily use, environmental conditions, and gradual wear, leading to inaccurate results and non-compliance. With such high stakes, regular pipette service and calibration are the most effective means to mitigate risks and prevent mechanical failure.
As an ISO 17025 accredited lab conforming to ISO 8655 International Standards, we provide fast, affordable, tailored pipette service and calibration for all makes and models to safeguard the accuracy and reliability of your liquid measurements.
Flexible uptime solutions
- 3-day mail-in service for optimal certainty
Performed in our custom-built pipette labs to protect from environmental influences, pipettes are serviced, calibrated and returned within 3 working days. This ensures minimal downtime and optimal accuracy for pipettes required for critical or exacting measurements. - Onsite pipette clinics for rapid results
When uptime is key, our onsite pipette servicing and calibrations achieve the right blend of speed and accuracy. Ideal for non-critical operations or large volumes, each onsite pipette service and calibration is performed to the same rigorous ISO standards as our mail-in service to ensure uncompromising quality and precision.

Customisable calibration specifications
- Opt for traceable or UKAS ISO 17025 pipette calibrations
Performed to your choice of ISO 8655, manufacturer or custom pipette calibration specifications to ensure full compliance with your statutory, regulatory or quality driven requirements.
- Select from varying data capture points
Tailor pipette calibration results to include pre calibration As found results, post calibration As returned results with varying points of measurement to record and monitor pipette performance.

FAQ
Which pipettes can Labserve service and calibrate?
All makes and models including manual, electronic, single‑channel, multi‑channel, and repeater pipettes.
How quickly can I get my pipettes serviced and calibrated?
Our standard mail-in service returns pipettes within three working days. For minimal interruption to your workflows, select our onsite pipette clinics to balance speed and accuracy.
Are your calibrations compliant and traceable?
Yes. You can choose traceable or UKAS ISO 17025 calibrations, performed to ISO 8655, manufacturer, or custom specifications, ensuring full compliance with your statutory, regulatory, or quality requirements.
Will I receive a calibration certificate?
Every pipette includes a complimentary on-demand online certificate. Depending on your selected package and specifications, this can include As found and/or As returned results (data collected before and after servicing and calibration), plus data from your chosen measurement points.
How often should pipettes be calibrated?
Frequency depends on usage, liquids handled, and the potential impact of inaccurate measurements. Regular calibration helps ensure consistent results and prevents costly errors. For routine use, annual calibration is recommended, while high-precision or heavily used pipettes may require more frequent three-monthly checks. For expert guidance on the ideal schedule for your lab, start a conversation.
What if a pipette fails its calibration?
If a pipette is out of specification, we’ll service and adjust it where possible. If it’s beyond economical repair, we’ll advise and guide you on the options and costs for suitable replacements to minimise downtime.
Can Labserve manage multiple pipettes or recurring schedules?
Absolutely. We offer volume and preventative maintenance plans for all pipette makes and models to help keep your fleet accurate and compliant with minimal administrative effort. Our engineers also calibrate other lab equipment such as balances and scales so you can combine your needs to achieve further time and cost savings.

Testimonials
We've been working with C&M Scientific ltd (now Labserve) for the maintenance, repair and calibration of our lab equipment for some time, and we couldn't be more pleased with their service. Fran and team consistently deliver outstanding support - from prompt and clear communication to the friendly and professional attitude of service engineers. Whilst on site engineers are respectful of our working environment, carrying out their work efficiently and with minimal disruption to our lab activities. Their expertise is evident, and they always leave us with full confidence that our equipment is in safe hands, and service reports are always delivered promptly after visits, providing us with clear and comprehensive information. I would highly recommend them to any lab users looking for reliable, high-quality service and support.
"We have used Northern Balance (now known as Labserve) for a number of years for our calibration needs and without question, we have always found them to be prompt and professional, a great service."
"Northern Balance (now Labserve) has been servicing and supplying balances to us for more than 20 years. In that time we have come to always expect a high level of service given by friendly and knowledgeable staff."
"Gateshead Foodbank was awarded a grant from National Highways to improve our warehouse facilities. Top of our shopping list was a set of roll-on scales that would greatly improve our food handling and safety processes. Northern Balance (now Labserve) went above and beyond not only in that they ensured we had the most appropriate equipment to do what we wanted but that they made a magnanimous gesture in providing the equipment for free. That allowed us to use the funds freed to purchase other much needed equipment. The Trustees of Gateshead Foodbank would like to express their profound thanks to Paul and his team at Northern Balance (now known as Labserve) and would highly recommend them to anyone."

"Northern Balance (now known as Labserve) were an invaluable partner in the run-up to our successful MHRA audit for the RNA Centre of Excellence by providing us with critical UKAS weighing calibrations for our laboratory balances. The support from service engineer, Danny and the wider Northern Balance team made the process seamless and straightforward. Thereby greatly complementing our in-house team in the build up to this key GMP milestone."
"Whilst your engineer was here I asked him to do a bit of training of our lab staff and manufacturing staff over the correct way to use a balance, clean a balance, correct maintenance etc. This was very useful to both areas of our company and I am appreciative of him doing it. It is precisely this kind of helpfulness that your engineers have shown over the years that has maintained our business with Northern Balance (now known as Labserve) and that keeps us with Northern Balance."
“Sustainability is an ongoing journey. By combining engineering expertise with responsible practices, Labserve helps organisations reduce waste, extend asset life, and achieve better long-term outcomes.”
"We’d like to express our profound thanks to Northern Balance (now known as Labserve) for your contribution to validating our new moisture analyser as part of a detailed change control process. The input into the testing and documentation processes from your technical manager, Tony over the course of four weeks was really appreciated and helped to find a way forward. As well as helping to verify the suitability of the equipment for our production processes, your support also enabled us to resume the release of several important products on behalf of our pharmaceutical clients."
"It’s been a pleasure to be involved with your company, and I must comment that out of all the companies that we have deal with, without doubt, and by a street that Northern Balance (now known as Labserve) is the most professional and efficient. I’ve never had any reason to question the service you provide."
"When complete certificates are emailed to us electronically within hours of the calibration being completed, which is in my opinion testimony to the dedication and commitment of Northern Balance (now known as Labserve) to their customers. I would definitely use again and recommend the use of Northern Balance to others."
