Sources of Systematic Error

1. Instrument Error

• All measuring devices are sources of determinate
 errors, such as uncalibrated pipets, burets, and
 volumetric flasks.

• Electronic instruments such as spectrometers.

  Minimise instrument errors by frequent calibration
 both for apparatus such as volumetric flasks, burettes
 etc., but also for electronic devices such as
 spectrometers.
