Serving Eagan, MN
Eagan is the second largest city in Dakota County, Minnesota, with 68,855 residents recorded in the 2020 Census. Its technical base is concentrated in medical device development and manufacturing, specialty gas work, and municipal water and wastewater treatment, much of it in the Eagandale and Blue Gentian corridors north of Interstate 494. Solventum Corporation reports its principal executive offices at 1750 Yankee Doodle Road, and FDA establishment records register that same address for medical device manufacturing, including contract manufacturing. Other FDA registered sites inside the city include Microtek Medical at 990 Lone Oak Road, Braemar Manufacturing at 1285 Corporate Center Drive, Implant Resource at 917 Lone Oak Road, Sonex Health at 950 Blue Gentian Road, and BioMedix at 860 Blue Gentian Road. Dynatronics Corporation reports a 57,000 square foot manufacturing and office facility at 1200 Trapp Road, the registered address of its Bird and Cronin operation, and Anteris Technologies lists 860 Blue Gentian Road as a key location in its 2026 securities filings. Matheson Tri-Gas is registered at 3191 Mike Collins Drive for calibration gas at specified concentrations. On the public infrastructure side, the Metropolitan Council operates the Seneca wastewater treatment plant at 3750 Plant Road under a 38 million gallon per day design flow, and the City of Eagan runs an active community water system serving 68,223 people. Operations like these depend on documented accuracy in dimensional, torque, pressure, temperature, flow, mass, electrical, and gas concentration measurement, each traceable through an unbroken chain to national standards. Tra-Cal supports these operations with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment.
Because Eagan sits outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup radius, we serve Dakota 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.
