4. How do I calibrate my HandyStep ?
A Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for gravimetric testing of the HandyStep is available on this website: click here. Because the instrument and the syringe tips are equal partners in the accuracy of the instrument, if you find that your instrument is not performing to specification with third-party tips, we recommend that you try BRAND PD-Tip syringe tips to confirm the source of the error. PD-Tip II syringe tips are supplied with a Certificate of Performance in every box. It should be noted that bubbles in the tip are also a common source of error. Adjustment of the instrument by the end-user is not possible. If you find that your instrument requires adjustment, we recommend that you contact BrandTech for authorized service.
