In general, also in industries and other segments, calibration must be used in order to avoid changing properties with impacts on products or services.<\/p><p>By performing the Calibration, the user certifies that the instruments used in the analytical process are compatible with the expected performance. Its main benefits are:<\/p><ul><li>Ensure quality in analytical processes;<\/li><li>Reduce analytical costs and increase productivity;<\/li><li>Comply with certification and accreditation requirements;<\/li><li>Maintain proper functioning of instruments;<\/li><li>Increase the useful life of equipment.<\/li><\/ul><p>Calibrating avoids waste and rework, as well as preventing accidents. Remember that the instrument must be calibrated after purchase, or before starting use, before and after maintenance. And of course, at stipulated intervals.<\/p><h4><strong>Understand calibration in practice<\/strong><\/h4><p>In summary, the purpose of calibration is to verify if the measurement obtained by an equipment is compatible with what is expected and if it is suitable for the activity for which it is intended.<\/p><p>For example: a 10 uL micropipette is used during an assay where the maximum error allowed by the customer is +\/- 0.5 uL (tolerance of 9.5 uL to 10.5 uL) and the calibration result shows an average result of 10.6 uL. This instrument should be considered unsuitable for this use and intended for an activity with greater tolerance, if maintenance for adjustments is not performed.<\/p><p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-54622 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/controllab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/processo_de_calibracao-EN-800x476.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/controllab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/processo_de_calibracao-EN-800x476.png 800w, https:\/\/controllab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/processo_de_calibracao-EN-1024x609.png 1024w, https:\/\/controllab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/processo_de_calibracao-EN-768x457.png 768w, https:\/\/controllab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/processo_de_calibracao-EN-245x146.png 245w, https:\/\/controllab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/processo_de_calibracao-EN-50x30.png 50w, https:\/\/controllab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/processo_de_calibracao-EN-126x75.png 126w, https:\/\/controllab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/processo_de_calibracao-EN.png 1271w\" sizes=\"(max-width:767px) 480px, (max-width:800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p><h4><strong>Certification and accreditation in the laboratory segment<\/strong><\/h4><p>The quality in the processes is no longer just an addition, becoming a mandatory item. Some criteria and standards are essential for the proper functioning of the laboratory. Criteria stipulated by CLSI\/NCCLS, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/asm.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><em>American Society for Microbiology<\/em><\/a><\/strong>, ABNT NBR ISO 9001, 15189 and 17034 standards and ABNT NBR ISO\/IEC 17025 and 17043 standards, require the calibration of glassware, micropipettes, scales, thermometers, among others.<\/p><p>By contribution to the reliability of results and reduces the costs inherent to testing errors, calibration is now a requirement for certification and accreditation processes.<\/p><p>Ensuring the reliability and credibility of the results is being ahead, it is becoming a natural option. Quality is a determining market differential, especially when these results interfere with health and the environment, which is the case with clinical trials, on food and water, among others.<\/p><h4><strong>Why calibrate with Controllab?<\/strong><\/h4><p>Controllab has been accredited by the Coordena\u00e7\u00e3o-Geral de Acredita\u00e7\u00e3o do <strong><a
