Overview
What Is Life Science & Pharma Calibration?
Life science and pharmaceutical calibration verifies that laboratory instruments used in pharmaceutical manufacturing, biotech research, and regulated testing environments measure accurately against certified reference standards. Instruments such as autoclaves, pipettes, and analytical balances must perform within documented tolerances to support Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and quality-system requirements, since measurement drift can compromise product quality, stability data, or regulatory submissions.
Life Science vs. Pharmaceutical Calibration: Is There a Difference?
Life science calibration covers the broader category of research, biotech, and laboratory instrumentation, while pharmaceutical calibration specifically addresses equipment used in GMP-regulated drug manufacturing and quality control. Micro Precision provides accredited calibration across both, so a single vendor can support an organization from early-stage R&D through regulated production.

FAQs
Pharmaceutical manufacturing, biotechnology, medical device production, and clinical and analytical laboratories all require accredited calibration to meet GMP and quality-system requirements. Micro Precision provides ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited calibration supporting ISO 9001 and GMP compliance across these regulated environments.
Life science calibration covers the broader category of research, biotech, and laboratory instrumentation, while pharmaceutical calibration specifically addresses equipment used in GMP-regulated drug manufacturing and quality control. Micro Precision provides accredited calibration across both.
GMP calibration refers to calibration performed and documented to standards that satisfy Good Manufacturing Practice requirements. It matters because pharmaceutical equipment operating outside verified tolerances can compromise product quality and trigger regulatory findings during inspections.
Micro Precision calibrates a variety of life science and pharmaceutical equipment, including autoclaves, balances, centrifuges, incubators, pH meters, pipettes, spectrophotometers, thermo cyclers, and water baths, among other laboratory instruments.
ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation is not always legally mandated, but it provides the documented traceability to national measurement standards that most pharmaceutical quality systems and regulatory audits expect from a calibration provider.
Yes. Micro Precision provides on-site calibration for pharmaceutical and life science equipment that is difficult to remove from a validated environment, in addition to in-lab calibration at its ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited laboratories.
Yes. Micro Precision issues a certificate of calibration documenting As Found and As Left results for every instrument, giving quality teams the traceable documentation needed to support FDA 21 CFR Part 211 and cGMP compliance reviews.
