Glossary of Terms

2x5	2 volumes tested x 5 dispenses per volume. Volume tested are nominal and full volume of pipette. Example 300ul Pipette will be 30ul / 300ul
2x10	2 volumes tested x 10 dispenses per volume. Volume tested are nominal and full volume of pipette. Example 300ul Pipette will be 30ul / 300ul
3x5	3 volumes tested x 5 dispenses per volume. Volume tested are nominal, middle and full volume of pipette. Example 300ul Pipette will be 30ul / 150ul / 300ul
3x10	3 volumes tested x 10 dispenses per volume. Volume tested are nominal, middle and full volume of pipette. Example 300ul Pipette will be 30ul / 150ul / 300ul
As found is synonymous with as-received	Data collected before the pipette goes through the preventive maintenance or repair
As left is synonymous with as-returned	Data collected after the pipette goes through the preventive maintenance or repairs
Calibration certification & label	Certificate with calibration data. Label attached to the pipette including calibration dates, serial number and asset number if applicable
Internal inspection	Full evaluation of the pipette functionality from aspiration to dispense and from pipette tip attachment to tip ejection.
External inspection	Full evaluation of the pipette functionality from aspiration to dispense and from pipette tip attachment to tip ejection.
Measurement process	Process of collecting data using a microbalance to measure each dispense against pipette specification
NIST	National Institute of Standards and Technologies
Preventive Maintenance	15 point inspection
