Pipette Repair, Refurbishment 
& Replacement Services

Accurate liquid handling starts with properly maintained pipettes. Even a recently calibrated pipette can produce unreliable results if it is worn, damaged, or not functioning correctly. 

Our pipette repair, refurbishment, and replacement services help laboratories maintain accuracy, reduce downtime, and extend the life of their equipment. From routine preventative maintenance to complex repairs and replacement options, our experienced technicians evaluate every pipette to ensure it performs as intended before it returns to your lab.

What Is Included in Our Pipette Repair Service?

Every pipette Transcat calibrates undergoes a detailed inspection to identify wear, damage, and performance issues.

Following As-Found testing, each pipette is disassembled for preventative maintenance. Components are carefully inspected for proper function and replaced when necessary. The pipette is then cleaned, serviced, reassembled, and tested to verify performance before it is returned to service.

Our goal is simple: ensure your pipettes are reliable, accurate, and ready for use.

Preventative Maintenance Done on Every Pipette

Regular preventative maintenance helps identify and correct issues before they affect your lab results. During service, our skilled technicians evaluate critical components of your pipettes for wear, contamination, and damage. By addressing these issues early, we can help you reduce the risk of measurement errors, improve equipment performance, and even avoid unnecessary replacement costs.

Our Pipette Repair Expertise

With more than 30 years of pipette service experience, our technicians repair thousands of pipettes each year. Most repairs are completed as part of the normal service process, helping customers maintain compliance and keep instruments in circulation with minimal disruption.

For more complex repairs requiring manufacturer involvement, we coordinate directly with the OEM on your behalf. This streamlined process helps reduce administrative burden and minimizes laboratory downtime.

When Should a Pipette Be Repaired or Replaced? 

Your pipette may benefit from repair, refurbishment, or replacement if you notice:

  • Failed calibration results
  • Inconsistent dispensing performance
  • Leaks or visible damage
  • Sticky or rough plunger movement
  • Excessive wear from daily use
  • Repair costs approaching replacement value

Our expert team can help determine the most cost-effective solution – repair or
replace - based on the condition, age, and anticipated use of your pipette.
