If your lab is in Indianapolis, Plainfield, Brownsburg, Carmel, Zionsville, Greenwood, or anywhere in central Indiana — your next pipette calibration just got a lot easier to schedule.

At Maxim Pipette Service, we've been providing expert pipette calibration, repair, and preventative maintenance for over 20 years. With our ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation and a full range of service levels, we're now making it a priority to connect with labs right here in our own region — so you get the same nationally trusted quality with the added benefit of a local relationship.

Whether you're a pharmaceutical research team at a major Indianapolis biotech, a clinical pathology lab at a regional hospital, an environmental testing lab, or a university research group — if you use pipettes, we can help.

Who We Serve in the Indianapolis Area

The greater Indianapolis metro is home to a remarkable density of laboratories — from world-class pharmaceutical R&D facilities to hospital pathology labs, biotech startups, and environmental testing firms. All of them share one thing: they depend on pipettes that perform accurately, every single day.

Here are just some of the types of labs we actively serve in our region:

If you're unsure whether your lab qualifies, the answer is almost certainly yes. We service all pipette brands — Gilson, Eppendorf, Rainin, Thermo Fisher, and many more — and all pipette types, from single-channel and multi-channel to electronic and repeat pipettors.

Our Service Levels — Flexible to Fit Your Lab

We know that no two labs have the same needs, compliance requirements, or budget. That's why we offer four service tiers, from essential calibration to full ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited documentation with "as found" and "as left" data.

Service Level	What's Included	Starting At
Basic	Inspection, thorough cleaning (ultrasonic for Gilson), seal/o-ring service, calibration adjustments per ISO 8655, leak test, Pass/Fail label & Work Order Report	$25 / single channel
Premium	Everything in Basic, plus a Calibration Certificate with 4-point data at low and high volumes	$30 / single channel
Platinum	ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Accredited Certificate: "As Left" data, %CV, % Accuracy, and Mean auto-calculated	Call for pricing
Gold	Full "As Found" + "As Calibrated" accredited documentation. Customized readings available. Highest compliance level.	Call for pricing

All service levels include a one-year warranty on all calibrations. We also offer flexible scheduling — on-site visits to your lab or convenient mail-in service if you prefer to ship your instruments to us.

Why Choose a Local, ISO-Accredited Partner?

There's no shortage of calibration providers out there. So why Maxim Pipette Service? A few things set us apart — especially for labs in central Indiana:

We're local. Based in Plainfield, Indiana, we can be at your facility faster, build an ongoing relationship with your lab manager, and respond quickly when something comes up between scheduled service cycles.

We're accredited. Our ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation (Certificate L24-366) means your calibration documentation meets international standards for accuracy and traceability. If your lab undergoes audits — FDA, CAP, CLIA, or internal QA — our certificates hold up.

We're experienced. Over 20 years of hands-on work with every major pipette brand means we've seen every issue, diagnosed every failure mode, and repaired instruments that other services would have written off.

We care about your results. Pipette accuracy isn't abstract. It's the difference between a reproducible assay and a failed experiment. Between a correct diagnosis and a false result. We take that seriously.

Ideas to Boost Your Lab's Pipette Program

Beyond calibration, there are several strategies that top-performing labs use to keep their pipette programs running efficiently and compliantly. Here's what we recommend — and where we can help:

• Set up a scheduled calibration calendarDon't wait for pipettes to fail. Work with us to create an annual or semi-annual calibration schedule so your whole fleet stays current, your documentation is always audit-ready, and you're never scrambling before an inspection.
• Request interim performance checksBetween full calibrations, we can supply simple gravimetric check protocols your lab staff can run in-house to catch drift early — before it affects results.
• Ask about fleet discountsLabs with 80 or more pipettes can often negotiate better per-unit rates. If you manage a large inventory across multiple rooms or departments, contact us about a facility-wide service agreement.
• Explore our refurbished pipette inventoryNeed to expand your fleet without the budget for new instruments? Our refurbished pipettes are fully serviced, calibrated, and warrantied — a smart option for labs adding capacity or replacing aging instruments.
• Consolidate vendorsIf your lab is currently splitting pipette service across multiple vendors, consolidating with Maxim can simplify your purchasing, streamline your documentation, and often reduce total cost. We handle all brands — no need to maintain separate relationships.
• Get "as found" data before adjustmentsUpgrading to our Gold Service level gives you "as found" performance data before any adjustments are made. This historical record is invaluable for trend analysis, identifying chronically drifting pipettes, and demonstrating ongoing quality control during audits.
