Even the simplest equipment used in a laboratory setting must be capable of delivering precision performance in everything it does. Although lab scales, balances and other measurement devices may not be the most complex used by technicians, they must be kept in prime condition. Without proper calibration and maintenance of science lab measuring equipment, the results they provide may not be as reliable as they should be. Fortunately, Technical Safety Services’ lab balance equipment maintenance services are here to keep such devices in good working order.
We have the most knowledgeable team of experts in the industry. With our expertise, balances and scales used in chemistry labs and other environments can be kept compliant with the high standards and regulations these facilities must follow. Our lab scale services also include preventative maintenance that saves time and money by preventing costly repairs to chemistry lab measuring equipment.
Cleaning & Maintenance for Important Lab Measuring Equipment
Every lab uses common equipment that can be overlooked for their importance to research and manufacturing processes. TSS offers calibration, maintenance, and repair services for most equipment including:
- Balances
- pH and Conductivity Meters
- Thermometers
- Thermohygrometers
- Pipettes
- Water Baths
- Microscopes
Balance calibration and maintenance services rival anything provided from a major manufacturer, and compliance to USP Chapter 41 guidelines is one of our many offerings.
pH meters are calibrated and maintained using standards and practices ensuring reliable and accurate results.
Even though the thermometers, thermo-hygrometers and baths are relatively simple, single-temperature devices, they are no less crucial to your laboratory operations…and we treat them as such.
Pipette services can be offered as either mail-in or on-site services, with multiple plans available for repeatability and measured volumes over the range of the unit’s capabilities.
Microscope maintenance and repairs keep your analysis unobstructed from weak optics, faulty stage movements, or dirty optics.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should you perform maintenance on laboratory scales?
In general, it’s recommended that lab measurement equipment services be performed at least once a year. However, the frequency of lab scale maintenance services should ultimately be decided by how often the equipment is used. If a particular scale or balance is used much more often, lab scale services may be needed more than once a year.
Why is it important to calibrate laboratory scales?
Having any lab scale equipment calibrated on a regular basis is essential to ensure the most accurate results. This is why it’s necessary to include calibration as part of your lab balance equipment services.
When is it important to calibrate laboratory equipment?
If equipment has been dropped, bumped or otherwise disturbed, you should have professional lab measuring equipment services including calibration. Additionally, measurements outside of the expected range or abnormal sounds may be signs that lab scale maintenance may be needed.
