o matter what type of service a laboratory specialises in, it takes money to keep things going. Unless you’ve found a generous


benefactor with never-ending resources, getting compensated for the services your lab provides is essential. But oftentimes, managing the revenue cycle is easier said than done. T is is especially true for molecular, clinical and anatomic pathology labs that work within healthcare environments.


T e precise delivery of liquid volumes is essential in many processes in the lab to obtain good and reliable quality results. T e areas of application are manifold, for example industrial fi lling processes (does my customer receive the contractually agreed quantity of the substance?), clinical diagnostics (have I added the correct quantity of detection reagent to the patient sample?) or analytical-chemical detection processes (can I trust the result of the titration performed?).


When a user works with liquids in a chemical, biological or clinical laboratory, the question of the correct volume is always present.


WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN CALIBRATING? In the fi eld of volume determination with reference to the relevant standards, calibration usually means that the volume delivered by the device is recorded gravimetrically with a balance.
