Lab Calibration
Accurate Calibration for
Consistent Lab Performance
Laboratory equipment calibration verifies and adjusts the accuracy of instruments used in scientific research, medical testing, and industrial applications. Calibration ensures that lab equipment, such as pipettes, balances, pressure gauges, and environmental chambers, performs measurements within defined tolerance levels. Precision and reliability are crucial in research and testing environments, so regular calibration is essential for maintaining the integrity of experimental data, product quality, and regulatory compliance. Calibration also plays a vital role in pharmaceuticals, healthcare, aerospace, and manufacturing industries, where even minor measurement deviations can lead to significant errors or safety risks.
As laboratories move towards digitalization and adopt stricter quality assurance protocols, automated calibration systems are becoming more popular to reduce human error and improve the efficiency of calibration processes. Despite these advancements, challenges can arise during calibration, including drift in instrument accuracy, incorrect calibration procedures, and failure to detect subtle errors that can lead to faulty data or product recalls.
Pressure sensors are critical in the accurate calibration of laboratory equipment. They provide real-time data on pressure levels in devices that rely on fluid or gas measurements, such as autoclaves, barometers, and liquid handling systems. Inaccurate pressure readings can lead to errors in equipment performance. Advanced pressure sensors enable laboratories to monitor and maintain consistent pressure levels during calibration, ensuring that instruments can deliver precise results.
Incorporating reliable pressure sensors into calibration procedures enhances the accuracy and consistency of lab equipment, ultimately improving the quality of research, production, and testing outcomes. As laboratories adopt advanced technologies, pressure sensors remain integral to maintaining calibration standards and ensuring equipment operates within required specifications.
Unique Capabilities for Lab Calibration
The NimbleSense architecture was designed to maximize performance while also being flexible enough to easily insert application-specific capabilities. The result is a pressure sensor architecture with a very clear signal and practically no noise, leading to incredible accuracy, TEB, and long-term stability. Specific to laboratory equipment calibration, we have implemented these additional capabilities:
Multi-Range™ technology
A single sensor can accommodate up to seven different pressure ranges to accurately measure pressure across many types of laboratory equipment
Advanced digital filtering
Multi-order filter that leverages advanced filtering capabilities at the front end to eradicate critical noise caused by fans, blowers, or other sources before they can impact system performance
Integrated closed loop control
Eliminates the need to design an external closed loop control system, which can reduce loop delays by up to 100x, resulting in faster response times
Position insensitivity
Maintains consistent and highly accurate handheld readings regardless of movement or the physical orientation of the measurement device; rated with a positional sensitivity to within 0.25 pascal
