Serving Upton, NY
Upton is a hamlet in the Town of Brookhaven in Suffolk County, on eastern Long Island, best known as the home of Brookhaven National Laboratory — a U.S. Department of Energy multidisciplinary research institution focused on physics, energy, and nanoscience. The William Floyd Parkway (NY-46), the Long Island Expressway (Interstate 495), NY-25, and Sunrise Highway connect the area. The region supports scientific research and national-laboratory operations, renewable energy, advanced and defense research, higher education, and healthcare, with neighboring communities spanning Yaphank, Shirley, Ridge, Middle Island, Coram, Manorville, and Wading River. Tra-Cal supports these operations with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment.
Because Upton sits outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup radius, we serve Suffolk County through two intake paths: prepaid ship-in calibration with a typical five-business-day turnaround, and onsite calibration appointments at your facility. Each calibration is performed against documented procedures, traced through NIST, and accompanied by an audit-ready certificate that supports AS9100, ISO 13485, ISO 9001, and FDA 21 CFR Part 820 quality systems.
