01
Importance of Calibration in the Laboratory
Regular calibration of laboratory equipment is essential to ensure the accuracy and precision of analysis results. Equipment without proper calibration can produce incorrect results, leading to wrong decisions in quality control, production processes, and research. Calibration should be performed by trained personnel using valid reference standards.
02
Standard Calibration Methods
There are various methods for calibrating laboratory equipment, including internal calibration (using the instrument's own standards), external calibration (using independent reference standards), and calibration by accredited laboratories. Calibration frequency is determined based on the type of equipment, intensity of use, and requirements of quality standards such as ISO/IEC 17025. Complete documentation of calibration results is required for audits and laboratory accreditation.
