Professional Calibration Services

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:

Analytical Balances
Readability: 0.1 mg
Semi-Microbalances
Readability: 0.01 mg
Microbalances
Readability: 1 μg or better

Service Options

On-Site Calibration

Our expert technicians come to your facility, minimizing downtime and ensuring your balances are calibrated in their actual operating environment.

Laboratory Calibration

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:

Inspection

Initial assessment of the balance's condition and performance

Verification

Comparison of readings against traceable reference weights (OIML E1/E2 standards)

Adjustment

Correction of any deviations to restore accuracy (if needed)

Testing

Post-adjustment checks, including linearity, repeatability, and corner load tests

Documentation

Issuance of a detailed calibration certificate with measurement results, uncertainties, and traceability to national standards (e.g., DAkkS, NIST)

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I calibrate my laboratory balance?

Annual calibration is standard, but high-usage or regulated environments may require more frequent calibration. Contact us for a personalized recommendation.

What is included in a calibration certificate?

Our certificates detail measurement results, uncertainties, traceability to standards, and compliance with ISO 17025 requirements.

Can you calibrate balances at our facility?

Yes, we offer on-site calibration services across Europe to minimize disruption to your operations.

What standards do you use for calibration?

We use OIML E1/E2 reference weights, traceable to national standards like DAkkS or NIST, ensuring accuracy and compliance.

How long does calibration take?

On-site calibration typically takes a few hours per balance, while laboratory calibration is completed within 2–3 business days, depending on the scope.
