Traceable Calibration for Mass Standards & Lab Weights

Measuring the accurate weight of pre- and post-production components for pharmaceutical and biotechnology products is critical to your manufacturing success, product efficacy, and patient safety. Precise mass and weight measurements require strict calibration standards to provide complete confidence in your end products.


With our highly experienced team and top-of-the-line equipment, Alcami offers efficient mass calibration services with minimal measurement uncertainties for your sensitive metrology standards and laboratory instruments. Our industry-leading mass standards and lab weights calibration services make us the top choice for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies worldwide.

Mass Standards & Lab Weights Calibration Capabilities

Alcami can support a wide range of mass standards and lab weights, including commercial weights, high precision weights, and standard weights from 1 mg to 30 kg, in accordance with OIML R-111 and ASTM E617. We calibrate your test weights to SI-traceable test weights, bringing your instruments within the correct tolerances.

Consistently Accurate Mass Standards & Lab Weights Calibration Results

When you enhance the quality, accuracy, and regulatory compliance of your mass and weight instruments, you improve the integrity of your end products. Alcami’s mass calibration services reduce the threat of even the smallest inaccuracies, giving you confidence in your measurements. We’ll work with you to find the solution that fits your needs whether you’re calibrating a single device or a large inventory of mass and weight instruments.

Primary Pressure Standards

Alcami’s approach to mass calibration and weight calibration is unlike any other calibration company. We use the highest quality equipment and implement industry-leading processes, which is part of what differentiates us. We also demonstrate our commitment to excellence and quality in the following ways:

  • All primary mass and weight standards are calibrated by NIST to ensure traceability and repeatability.
  • We use three sets of identical weights to ensure calibration accuracy, whereas many labs only use one or two weight sets.
  • Our lab operations are overseen by an experienced senior metrologist.

Environmentally Controlled Calibration Lab

Our 650ft² Class 10,000 mass lab features robust climate control systems that exceed ISO Class 10k and NIST Echelon I standards for clean-room cleanliness and environmental controls. The state-of-the-art lab features a seismically isolated mass comparator platform and the highest-quality calibration standards. In addition, it is tightly controlled at 21.5°C (±0.5°C) and 40 % RH (± 5%) to further reduce measurement uncertainty. Masy monitors our lab conditions 24/7 and halts calibrations if conditions stray from your environmental specifications. We record the environmental conditions on each calibration certificate to build greater confidence in our calibration services.

ISO/IEC 17025:2017-Accredited and Traceable Calibrations

We are proud to be Accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 through ANAB, and all primary reference standards are traceable to recognized International Standards, allowing us to provide optimal measurement accuracy. Many of Alcami’s primary reference standards are sent directly to NIST for calibration and direct traceability.
