Dear Aaron,
In our organization we had a team dedicated to lab equipment, for all sort of repairs. Initially they were taking care of pipette calibration, but due to the high numbers of labs and, of course, pipettes, they bought an instrument. This is fairly easy to use and allows you to calibrate your pipettes on your own.
The advantage is that pipettes are immediately available, no shipping, no waiting time and can be done anytime you feel that is necessary.
Hope this helps, of you need more info, let me know.
Best,
Emanuele

Subject: Calibration-based core
Hi Everyone,
I am wondering if anyone has explored the idea of creating a core that is dedicated to providing calibration services for single/multichannel pipettes. Our research purchasing group is exploring ways to streamline our current process for coordinating and paying outside vendors for calibrations, and to what extent this could be done internally in a core setting.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Thank you!
