Benefits of Accredited Lab Equipment Calibration Services

In any laboratory setting, there’s a wide range of measuring tools and equipment to provide accurate, precise information. This equipment may range from thermometers to pressure gauges, from simple devices to complex technology. What’s important is that all of this measuring equipment be kept up-to-date, properly maintained and calibrated to ensure the best readings.

The calibration of equipment may be achieved on a purely DIY level, with all the necessary adjustments made in-house. However, this option isn’t recommended. Accredited lab equipment calibration services can offer a much higher standard of quality, to say nothing of convenience.

Laboratory Calibration Services is pleased to assist clients throughout Southern California with the help they need keeping their equipment as accurate as can be. In this post, we’ll explain some of the primary benefits of choosing an outsourced lab equipment calibration service, as opposed to keeping the calibration of equipment entirely in-house.

The Advantages of an Accredited Laboratory Equipment Service

1) Achieve peak accuracy and precision.

While it’s possible to calibrate equipment in your own lab, only trained equipment specialists can verify that your key tools are calibrated properly, providing you with the highest possible standards in your core metrics, measurements, and readings.

2) Have any issues promptly repaired.

What happens if your equipment can’t be properly calibrated? There may be an issue or malfunction that needs to be addressed in order for the equipment to work as intended. A company like Laboratory Calibration Services can troubleshoot your equipment and make those repairs.

3) Get your equipment calibrated promptly.

The proper calibration of equipment can be time-consuming, and in some cases may cut into your already-packed lab schedule. An accredited service can often provide prompt turnaround times, as well as options for both on-site and off-site calibration. (LCS offers both, and can have equipment back to you in as little as three days’ time.)

4) Get the documentation you need.

Equipment calibration isn’t just about ensuring the right readings and measurements, though that’s obviously crucial. It’s also about maintaining any legal and regulatory compliance that’s required in your field of research.

When you have your equipment calibrated by an accredited company like LCS, we’ll provide you with all the documentation you need to keep the regulators happy. And indeed, it’s worth noting that most regulatory agencies will require you to work with an accredited calibration company anyway.

5) Ensure quality and safety.

Having properly calibrated equipment can help you ensure the quality of your results, and the efficiency with which your lab is run. In some cases, though, getting the right readings can also be an important way of keeping your personnel safe. By working with an accredited calibration company, you can ensure both the quality of your work and the well-being of your people.

These are just a few of the reasons why professional laboratories throughout Southern California entrust their equipment calibration needs to companies like LCS.
