Calibration for life sciences and medical device
Boston and Cambridge host biotech and pharmaceutical research, medical-device manufacturing under ISO 13485 and FDA 21 CFR 820, and a deep bench of academic and clinical labs. The calibration needs cluster around pipettes (gravimetric and photometric), analytical balances, temperature and humidity monitoring, and data loggers for sample and storage integrity.
American Gage calibrates all of these under A2LA ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, with certificates documenting as-found/as-left data, uncertainty, and traceability — the evidence life-sciences and medical audits require.
Coast-to-coast mail-in for lab instruments
Distance is no obstacle for pipettes, balances, and loggers. Send your equipment list, ship to our Placentia lab, and receive instruments back with full certificates on a 7–10 business day standard turnaround. For chamber mapping and other on-site-only work, contact us to discuss coverage.

Boston calibration FAQs
Do you calibrate pipettes by mail-in?
Yes — pipettes ship well and are a common mail-in item. We perform gravimetric and photometric pipette calibration under A2LA accreditation and return them with full data, typically within 7–10 business days.
Can you support our ISO 13485 quality system?
Yes. Our certificates document data, uncertainty, and traceability under ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation — the evidence ISO 13485 and FDA audits look for. See our ISO 13485 guide for detail.
