Controlled temperature unit services

At Calibrio, we provide professional service and UKAS calibration for fridges, freezers, and incubators to help you maintain stable temperatures, reduce downtime, and support audit-ready documentation. 

Our UKAS calibration services are carried out in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025, providing traceable, verified calibration certificates for temperature-controlled laboratory equipment.

Calibrio are UKAS:17025 accredited for the calibration of temperature, RPM, balances, time and temperature mapping.

Calibrio can service and UKAS calibrate a wide range of units, including:

• Medical and laboratory refrigerators 
• Vaccine and sample storage fridges 
• Under-counter and upright fridges
   

• Standard laboratory freezers 
• Low-temperature freezers 
• Upright and chest freezers
   

• Standard incubators 
• CO2/ O2/ RH Units (*traceable to national standards)
• Temperature-controlled laboratory chambers 
• Units used for testing, microbiology, and controlled growth applications

If you’re unsure whether we can support your specific model, contact us and we’ll advise.

For critical storage or regulated environments, a single-point UKAS calibration may not be enough. In those cases, a temperature mapping study may be recommended to confirm temperature distribution across the whole storage space.

Please see our Temperature Mapping page for more information on our services. 

Temperature-controlled equipment can drift due to normal wear, changes in ambient conditions, loading patterns, airflow restrictions, or door usage. Regular servicing and calibration helps ensure continued reliability and accuracy.

Regular servicing and UKAS accredited calibration helps ensure continued reliability, accuracy, and compliance with regulatory standards. 

Servicing and calibration helps you:

✅ Maintain consistent, stable conditions
✅ Reduce the risk of excursions and product loss
✅ Confirm performance against your required tolerances
✅ Support compliance and audits
✅ Improve reliability and extend equipment lifespan
✅ Detect problems early before they become failures

Because temperature can drift over time, and internal displays may not reflect the true internal temperature. UKAS accredited calibration verifies actual performance and supports compliance.

Yes. Incubators are used where temperature stability can directly affect results. UKAS Calibration helps confirm accuracy and consistent control.

Common causes include:

• Frequent door openings 
• Overloading or poor airflow 
• Faulty seals or icing 
• Location near heat sources or direct sunlight 
• Worn components or fan issues 
• Ambient temperature changes
   

If a performance issue is found, we’ll explain the results and recommend practical next steps. This may include adjustment, repairs, maintenance, or advice on loading and airflow.

Not always — but for critical or regulated environments, UKAS mapping can provide stronger evidence that the entire storage space remains within limits.
