Protecting Precision: How SciCal’s Custom Packaging Keeps Your Pipettes Safe

When it comes to pipette calibration, accuracy starts long before your instrument reaches our lab. That’s why we’ve designed a packaging system exclusively for our Mail-In Pipette Service—built to protect delicate pipettes every step of the way.

Built for Protection

Each shipment begins with a durable corrugated outer box that acts as the first line of defense during transport. Inside, custom foam inserts—manufactured to our exact specifications—hold pipettes snugly in place. For larger shipments, we layer multiple sheets of foam so that every instrument is secure, with no risk of shifting or damage in transit.

Designed for SciCal Standards

Unlike generic shipping materials, our foam is engineered specifically for pipettes. The density, fit, and layering are all tailored to the instruments we service. With four different box sizes available, we can safely accommodate everything from a single pipette to an entire set—ensuring consistent protection no matter the order size.

Beyond Calibration: Repair and Return

Our mail-in service isn’t just for calibration. Many customers also ship pipettes to us for repair, whether identified during on-site service or sent directly. No matter the reason, every pipette is returned in SciCal’s custom packaging—giving customers peace of mind that their instruments are handled with care from start to finish.

Professional Presentation

We know appearance matters, too. Each box is custom-printed with the SciCal brand, reflecting the professionalism and attention to detail that define our services. It’s a small touch, but one that reinforces the trust our customers place in us.

Why It Matters

Pipettes are essential tools in the lab, and when you send them to us, you’re placing trust in our process. Our custom packaging system is part of how we honor that trust—keeping your instruments safe, secure, and ready for precise calibration or repair.

At SciCal, we don’t just calibrate pipettes—we take care of them from the moment they leave your lab until they’re safely returned. Because being Your Complete Laboratory Solution means protecting your tools as carefully as we service them.
