Calibration Services
At MMQ Europe, we provide professional calibration services for high-precision laboratory balances, including analytical, semi-micro, and microbalances. Our services ensure your weighing equipment delivers accurate and reliable results, meeting the stringent requirements of industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemistry, and biology.
Why Calibration Matters
Calibration is the process of comparing a balance's readings to known reference standards to verify accuracy and correct any deviations. Regular calibration is essential to:
Ensure compliance with regulatory standards (e.g., ISO 17025, GLP/GMP)
Minimize measurement errors for reliable results
Maintain traceability to national and international standards
Avoid costly errors in research, production, or quality control
Our Calibration Services
MMQ Europe offers comprehensive calibration services tailored to high-precision laboratory balances. We support a wide range of equipment, including:
Service Options
Our expert technicians come to your facility, minimizing downtime and ensuring your balances are calibrated in their actual operating environment.
Performed in our state-of-the-art, ISO 17025-accredited calibration laboratory for maximum precision and controlled conditions.
What's Included
Our calibration process follows a rigorous, standardized procedure:
Initial assessment of the balance's condition and performance
Comparison of readings against traceable reference weights (OIML E1/E2 standards)
Correction of any deviations to restore accuracy (if needed)
Post-adjustment checks, including linearity, repeatability, and corner load tests
Issuance of a detailed calibration certificate with measurement results, uncertainties, and traceability to national standards (e.g., DAkkS, NIST)

Recommended Calibration Frequency
To maintain accuracy, we recommend annual calibration for most laboratory balances. However, frequency may vary based on:
Usage Intensity
Daily vs. occasional use
Criticality
Pharmaceutical or regulatory applications
Environment
Temperature, humidity, vibrations
Our team can help you establish a calibration schedule tailored to your needs, ensuring compliance and performance.

Expert troubleshooting and repair to restore balance functionality.
On-site or virtual sessions to educate your staff on best practices for balance operation and maintenance.
Guidance on selecting the right weighing equipment for your laboratory.
Frequently Asked Questions
Annual calibration is standard, but high-usage or regulated environments may require more frequent calibration. Contact us for a personalized recommendation.
Our certificates detail measurement results, uncertainties, traceability to standards, and compliance with ISO 17025 requirements.
Yes, we offer on-site calibration services across Europe to minimize disruption to your operations.
We use OIML E1/E2 reference weights, traceable to national standards like DAkkS or NIST, ensuring accuracy and compliance.
On-site calibration typically takes a few hours per balance, while laboratory calibration is completed within 2–3 business days, depending on the scope.
