Equipment & Calibrations

General Summary

Lab equipment is routinely calibrated and checked for accuracy. The results of those calibrations are called factors, and those factors can be used in sample analyses. All calibrations are tracked by time and the user performing the calibration.

To work with calibrations, use the ~/Calibrations.aspx page available in the top navigation menu.
