The Caribbean Metrology Center (CMC) is built to world-class standards in terms of environmental stability and control. Utilizing state-of-the-art measurement standards, CMC offers direct traceability to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and compliance with ISO/IEC 17025, GLP/GMP, ISO, NCCLS, CAP CLIA standards and 21 CFR.
The background and experience of the CMC team provides you with the confidence that your requirements are understood and that our services are executed properly and expeditiously.
Whether you need routine calibration for pipettors, thermometers or balances, or you require more advanced mass standard services, we are here to help. CMC offers a full portfolio of Calibration and Metrology Services to ensure compliance with imposed requirements, enable god business practices, and cover all your preventive maintenance needs.
Standardizing on a 3-in-1 weighing design for all mass calibration yields the best results with the lowest measurement uncertainties.
CMC uses multiple high precision mass comparators, covering all existing ASTM and OIML classes, including OIML Class E1 and ASTM Class 0. CMC offers calibrations for every weight range from 01.mg to 50 kg. Most of the comparators use auto handling devices, which helps improve turnaround time while yielding the lowest uncertainties. All calibrations are directly traceable to NIST.
CMC has the capability to calibrate and/or verify a wide array of volumetric instruments including pipettors, syringes and repeaters across every volume range from 0.1ul to 200ml. Volumetric calibrations are offered either at your facilities or at one of our state-of-the-art, environmentally controlled laboratories.
Gravimetric calibrations are performed on 5-, 6- or 7-place balances and mass comparators, depending on the volume measured. There is a direct relationship between weight and volume, so the volume dispensed can be precisely calculated. All gravimetric calibrations are directly traceable to NIST.
CMC temperature capabilities encompass most RTD's, thermistors, thermocouples, bimetals, and liquid-in-glass thermometers. Services are performed using Direct Comparison (-40C to 600C), Simulation (-250C to 2300C), or infrared (35C to 600C) methods.
RTD's- All RTD calculations are performed using the comparison method against a highly accurate primary standard. All calibrations are referenced back to the ITS-90 temperature scale.
Thermocouples- All thermocouple calibrations are performed using the comparison method against a highly accurate primary standard or by simulation. All calibrations are referenced back to the ITS-90 temperature scale.
Bimetals- All bimetal calibrations are performed using the comparison method against a highly accurate primary standard. All calibrations are referenced back to the ITS-90 temperature scale.
Liquid-in-Glass Thermometers-All liquid-in-glass thermometers are performed using the comparison method against a highly accurate primary standard. All calibrations are referenced back to the ITS-90 temperature scale.
CMC has standardized on Fluke and Hart equipment to provide a test uncertainty ratio (TUR) of at least 4:1. This equipment also provides us with the flexibility in terms of being able to perform the calibrations on-site at your facility.
