Find confidence that your daily work is providing accurate results from developing a deeper understanding of pipetting, through Starlab's pipette training courses.

Why is training important?

• Because quality systems such a ISO 15189 have requirements for qualifications, training and competence. This is particularly important with pipettes as the pipetting technique used, as well as their handling, storage and maintenance, can have a major impact on the continued accuracy and precision of the pipette.

Benefits of attending a course

• Courses are held at a convenient time for you, at your own premises. No travelling required!
• Our courses have been developed by liquid handling specialists who are experts in the field
• Develop a deeper understanding of pipetting and a better understanding of specifications and intervals of calibration.
