Lab Equipment Calibration Services

Regardless of its purpose, function or goals, any given laboratory must operate with strict precision and unquestionable reliability. In order to be meaningful, results must be objectively, consistently reproducible — from one lab to the next, and from one day to the next.

On the human level, it’s about trust. Earning and maintaining that trust begins with proper laboratory equipment calibration. Technical Safety Services specializes in the precision calibration of laboratory equipment.

In fact, Technical Safety Services is your convenient, single-source provider of laboratory equipment calibration services. In addition to our full suite of testing, certification and consultation services, TSS is your go-to lab equipment calibration company. Lab equipment calibration services are offered either on-site or in our ISO 17025 accredited calibration laboratory.

What Is Lab Equipment Calibration?

Equipment calibration for a laboratory is the practice of adjusting measuring tools to ensure that they meet an accepted standard. Once calibrated, your equipment should provide consistent, accurate, repeatable results that will adhere to review and audit requirements, thus safeguarding the integrity of your facility’s work.

Calibration is carried out by comparing a tool’s measurements against a benchmark measurement and adjusting the apparatus as necessary. This type of assessment is crucial for any piece of equipment that measures, including dimensional measurements, scales, thermometers, spectrophotometers and more.

How Often Should Lab Equipment Be Calibrated?

Calibration requirements vary by type of equipment, application and usage, among other factors. In general, OEM documentation can provide a baseline recommendation for calibration, which may be anywhere from yearly to monthly. In addition, be sure to calibrate lab tools prior to any critical processes, any time data is in question and after any abnormal incident with an apparatus (such as accidents or mishandling).

What Equipment Should Be Calibrated? 

All equipment that performs a measuring function should be calibrated in order to remain accurate, extend equipment life, improve safety, and maintain compliance and certification. Tools that should be calibrated include:

  • Scales
  • Centrifuges
  • Incubators
  • Cold storage units
  • Micrometers
  • Balances
  • Calipers
  • Torque wrenches
  • Clamp meters
  • Insulation testers
  • Electrical data loggers
  • Barometers
  • Test gauges
  • Thermometers
  • Thermal cameras
  • And more …
