Normal wear and tear can damage instruments, creating errors that influence research results and product quality. Are you performing regular laboratory equipment calibration to limit your organization's financial, reputational, and legal risks?
The Accuracy Calibration Certificate (ACC) determines the performance (measurement uncertainty) of a balance or scale over its entire weighing range. With our ACC calibration service, you benefit from:
Depending on its type, each instrument has different parameters that need to be considered for calibration. The temperature needs to be calibrated for all instruments. In addition, the specific quantity measured by the instrument has to be calibrated, for example, heat flow for DSC or displacement in TMA.

The calibration frequency for laboratory instruments depends on the type of instrument, usage, environmental conditions, and the criticality of the measurements. According to METTLER TOLEDO guidelines, regular calibration is crucial for maintaining accuracy and ensuring compliance with quality standards. Typically, calibration should be performed at least annually; however, high-use or critical instruments may require more frequent calibration, such as quarterly or semiannually. Additionally, calibration is recommended after instrument maintenance, repair, or relocation. Following a documented calibration schedule based on risk assessment and manufacturer recommendations helps ensure reliable and precise measurements in laboratory environments.
METTLER TOLEDO offers calibration services for a wide range of laboratory instruments, including balances, moisture analyzers, pH meters, pipettes, thermal analysis instruments, automated chemistry analyzers, and other laboratory measuring devices. Our calibration services cover both METTLER TOLEDO equipment and instruments from many other weighing and pipetting manufacturers.
METTLER TOLEDO strictly follows internationally recognized calibration standards, such as ISO/IEC 17025, to guarantee the accuracy and reliability of laboratory instruments. Our calibration processes utilize certified reference materials and standardized methods, offering full traceability and documented measurement uncertainty. Comprehensive calibration certificates are provided to support compliance and quality assurance, guaranteeing precise instrument performance for your most critical applications.
Environmental factors like temperature, humidity, dust, vibrations, and air pressure affect the accuracy of precision balances and analytical instruments. Instruments in unstable environments need more frequent calibration. Calibration procedures also include checking environmental conditions to ensure reliable measurements. Controlling and monitoring these factors helps maintain instrument performance and optimize calibration schedules.
Yes, METTLER TOLEDO offers ISO/IEC 17025-accredited calibration services to ensure regulatory compliance and meet quality assurance standards. Our accredited services provide traceable calibration with detailed documentation and certificates, supporting customers in maintaining compliance with industry regulations and standards.
