UKAS Accredited Calibration for University and Research Laboratories
We provide UKAS accredited calibration services for university and academic research laboratories across the UK, including life sciences, biomedical and chemistry departments.
From temperature mapping of -80°C freezers and cold rooms to centrifuge, balance and incubator calibration, we help your lab meet ISO/IEC 17025 and Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) requirements, protecting the integrity of long-term studies and irreplaceable samples, with as little disruption to your research as possible.

The Cost of the Calibration Gap
When calibration isn't carried out regularly or you can't easily evidence it, the impact on a university or research lab can be great. It can mean:
- Samples, cell lines or reagents you can't replace and the cost of losing years of work.
- Data thrown into question and results you can no longer stand behind or publish with confidence.
- A failed audit or funding body review because equipment records don't hold up.
- Experiments or teaching disrupted at the wrong time because calibration had to happen during term time.
That's why our approach is built around minimal disruption, fast turnaround on certificates and documentation that is suitable for auditors, funders or accreditation bodies.
Temperature Mapping for Research Storage
If your freezers, cold rooms or fridges are holding material you can't afford to lose, a single reading tells you very little. What matters is knowing conditions have held steady over time. Temperature mapping is how you prove it.
We map:
- Ultra-low temperature (ULT) and -80°C freezers, including cryogenic storage
- -20°C freezers and standard laboratory fridges
- Cold rooms, walk-in chambers and warm rooms
- Incubators and controlled environment rooms
Every mapping study includes a full report with graphical temperature profiles, a pass/fail assessment against your acceptance criteria and hot and cold spots clearly identified.
We use UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 calibrated, multi-point data loggers, placed in line with your protocol or industry standard, with traceable CO₂ and humidity calibration where it's needed.
