Advanced Calibration Services
Advanced Processing provides the highest level of standard calibration services to the laboratory, industrial processing, pharmaceutical, food and beverage manufacturing, petrochemical, and standards dependent industries that require accurate recordkeeping, calibration, maintenance, and repair of their instruments. APS calibrates to the calibration standard and if requested hold that data on NIST calibrations in our database managed and audited by ANSI accredited (through ANAB accreditation services).
Customers include the range from start-ups to most established biopharma, biotechnology, and biomedical equipment companies to US national laboratories, and food and beverage companies with the most stringent calibration standards. APS works with the full range of requirements from individual calibrations, supplying calibration personnel, OEM calibration services, to setting up the processes for entire metrology departments. In some cases, we provide calibration facilities management.

Calibrations FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
What does NIST traceable mean?
National Institute of Standards and Technology standard historical recordkeeping on equipment. This is an unbroken chain of our standard calibrations traceable back to NIST. In conjunction with this, we can provide cradle to grave traceabiltiy over the equipment lifetime.
Who is ANAB?
The ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) is a non-governmental organization that provides accreditation services and training to public- and private-sector organizations.
What is IQ OQ PQ validation?
Installation Qualification, Operational Qualification, and Performance Qualificaton refers to establishing and documenting a process to test new instruments after initial installation in the conditions they operate in, and to the standards that they can be expected to perform too.
Does APS provide calibrations near me?
We provide on-site calibrations throughout the US and Canada as well as centralized instrument calibration through our laboratories in Pleasanton, CA and St. Petersburg, FL.
