Accurate g-force, documented to tolerance

BMCA verifies actual rotor speed against the set value across the operating range using a NIST-traceable tachometer, checks the timer, and records as-found / as-left readings — the documentation CLIA assessors expect to see.

Why it matters

An out-of-tolerance centrifuge quietly undermines result quality and is an easy inspection finding. Verification closes the gap and gives you proof on file.

Each verification includes

RPM verification across the rated range
Timer accuracy check
As-found / as-left readings recorded
Pass/fail against your defined tolerance
NIST-traceable certificate
Dated calibration label on the unit

// Frequently asked

Centrifuge calibration & RPM verification — common questions

Why do centrifuges need calibration?

A centrifuge spinning off its set speed can compromise test results — separated samples, packed-cell volumes, and molecular preps all depend on accurate g-force. CLIA-regulated labs are expected to verify centrifuge performance on a schedule.

How is centrifuge RPM verified?

We measure actual rotor speed with a calibrated, NIST-traceable tachometer and compare it to the set speed across the rated range, and verify the timer. You receive a certificate showing set vs. measured values and the tolerance.

What tolerance is acceptable for a centrifuge?

It depends on the application and manufacturer specification — commonly within about ±5%. We document the as-found and as-left readings against your defined tolerance so the record is defensible.

How often should a centrifuge be calibrated?

Annual verification is typical, with more frequent checks for critical applications. We set and track the interval for you.

Do you verify all centrifuge types?

Yes — benchtop, microcentrifuges, refrigerated, and high-speed units across clinical, molecular, and research settings.
