In-Lab & Onsite Calibration Services in Devens, MA
With over 35 years of experience, our technicians have provided precise calibration, instrument repair, and metrology database management to a diverse range of industries across the Devens area.
Located in Gaithersburg, MD, our calibration laboratory—accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017, ANSI Z540-1, and Z540.3 standards—adheres to strict quality protocols. We perform all calibrations and repairs in line with manufacturer specifications to ensure your measurement tools remain reliable, repeatable, and audit-ready. Each calibration is accompanied by a certificate that confirms compliance with the rigorous standards set by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Serving Devens, MA
Devens is not a conventional town but a regional enterprise zone of roughly seven square miles built on the former Fort Devens, administered by MassDevelopment across parts of Ayer, Shirley, and Harvard. Route 2 forms its southern edge at Exit 106, with the I-495 belt to the east. The redevelopment has drawn unusually measurement-intensive work: Bristol Myers Squibb operates a cell therapy and biologics site here, and Commonwealth Fusion Systems built a 47-acre campus where it winds high-temperature superconducting magnets and is assembling the SPARC tokamak. American Superconductor sits just over the line in Ayer, the Devens Reserve Forces Training Area keeps an active Army presence, and New England Studios and a broad light-industrial park fill out the rest. Tra-Cal supports these operations with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment.
We serve north-central Massachusetts two ways: prepaid ship-in calibration with a typical five-business-day turnaround, and onsite calibration appointments at your facility. Every calibration is NIST-traceable and comes with an audit-ready certificate supporting AS9100, ISO 13485, ISO 9001, and FDA 21 CFR Part 820 quality systems.

Standard turnaround is approximately five business days from receipt, and asset records are retained with automated due-date notifications.
Onsite Calibration:

Calibration is performed in a controlled environment at your site on a scheduled appointment, with the same accreditation, NIST traceability, and documentation as in-lab service.
