In the life sciences industry, the accuracy of your instrumentation is the foundation of your compliance. A single degree of temperature deviation or a slight drift in pressure can compromise an entire batch, leading to costly deviations or regulatory findings.
PSC Biotech® Metrology provides a comprehensive suite of calibration and validation equipment services designed to enhance data integrity and reduce operational risk. With a state-of-the-art ISO 17025 accredited laboratory and a global track record, we ensure your facility remains strictly compliant with GLP, GCP, and GMP standards.
Why Metrology is Critical to Your Quality System
Metrology is more than just “checking the numbers.” It is a vital component of your quality risk management strategy. Accurate, calibrated instruments ensure that the data you collect during R&D and manufacturing is defensible during audits by the FDA, EMA, and other worldwide agencies.

Frequently Asked Questions (SEO FAQ)
What is the importance of ISO 17025 accreditation in metrology? ISO 17025 is the international standard for testing and calibration laboratories. Choosing an accredited partner like PSC Biotech® ensures that your calibrations are performed using validated methods with a proven chain of traceability.
How often should pharmaceutical equipment be calibrated? While it depends on the criticality of the instrument, most GMP facilities follow a risk-based frequency (typically 6 or 12 months). Regular calibration is essential to prevent “instrument drift” that could invalidate your production data.
Can PSC Biotech support both lab and field calibration? Yes. We offer the flexibility of on-site field calibration for fixed infrastructure and high-precision laboratory calibration for portable reference standards.
