NEW PIPETTE SERVICE AND CALIBRATION SOFTWARE FROM BIOHIT


NEW PIPETTE SERVICE AND CALIBRATION SOFTWARE FROM BIOHIT                      

Biohit has released the new Quanta, a complete range
of pipette service and calibration software that has been designed to deliver   
unique flexibility to any laboratory or company doing service and calibration on
pipettes. The modular software provides different options 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 midrange version is a unique menu-based system, incorporating    
QuantaCal as its base module plus additional options such as multiple customer  
entry. It is ideally 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, and it can be used with existing   
calibration protocols. Quanta will connect to any balance supporting RS232      
protocols, including the Mettler Multichannel balances, and controls and        
collects calibration data automatically. Quanta has a comprehensive pipette     
database and provides calibration specifications in accordance with             
manufacturer's 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.
