Calibration Offerings that Cover All Your Needs

The right calibration and adjustment service depends on the equipment type, your industry, the relevant laws and regulations, and your own application and use of the instrument. 

METTLER TOLEDO will help you determine which calibration service best suits your needs, including the optimal calibration frequency based on your individual requirements.  

Superior Calibration Methods for the Highest Accuracy

Choosing METTLER TOLEDO Calibration provides you with:

  • A choice of two different calibration services according to your needs:

Standard Calibration for one heating rate per reference substance

Expert Calibration for three heating rates per reference substance

  • Access to the additional, in-depth calibration service (ACC) dedicated to your built-in TGA microbalance or ultra-microbalance
  • Professional adjustment by supplier-trained experts for improved measurement result accuracy
  • METTLER TOLEDO-approved SOPs
  • Standardized certificates to meet your regulatory requirements and audit needs

What Can You Expect from Our Standard Calibration Service?

  • One heating rate per reference substance
  • Fast and reliable results, meaning less downtime for your lab
  • A comprehensive and audit-proof calibration certificate to ensure full traceability of your measurements

What do we calibrate?

  • Sample temperature
  • Additional parameters:
  • DSC: heat flow
  • TGA: mass
  • TGA/DSC: mass/heat flow
  • TMA: length/force
  • DMA: displacement/force

Thermal Analysis Standard Calibration

What Can You Expect from Our Expert Calibration Service?

  • Three heating rates per reference substance, e.g., 2, 5 and 10 K/min
  • A properly adjusted instrument that allows different heating rates to be used without additional adjustment
  • Fast and reliable results, meaning less downtime for your lab
  • A comprehensive and audit-proof calibration certificate to ensure full traceability of your measurements

What do we calibrate?

  •  Sample temperature
  •  Tau lag temperature correction
  •  Additional parameters:
  •  DSC: heat flow
  •  TGA: mass
  •  TGA/DSC: mass/heat flow
  •  TMA: length/force

The ideal solution for DSC and TGA!

Thermal Analysis Expert Calibration

Thermal Analysis ACC Calibration Certificate for Built-in TGA Microbalances and Ultra-Microbalances

What Can You Expect From Our Accuracy Calibration Certificate (ACC)?

  • Detailed testing of your micro or ultra-microbalance, including repeatability and error of indication (linearity)
  • Measurement uncertainty calculation for each data point
  • Determination of the minimum sample weight that you can use, depending on permitted tolerances of your measurement results
  • Statement that your TGA microbalance performs according to manufacturer specifications
  • A comprehensive and audit-proof calibration certificate to ensure full traceability of your measurements

What is a tau-lag and a tau-lag correction?

During a Tau lag: 

  • As a sample is heated, there is a delay between the furnace temperature and the sample temperature
  • The sample temperature "lags behind" the furnace temperature
  • The amount of tau lag depends on the temperature

During a Tau lag correction:

  • An algorithm in STARe software calculates the time lag
  • It corrects for the delay between the furnace temperature and the sample temperature
  • After a correction, the measured thermal events will always have an identical temperature regardless of the heating rate
