Serving Potterville, MI
Potterville is a city of about 3,000 people in Eaton County, sitting on Lansing Road where Hartel Road (M-100) meets I-69, roughly 13 miles southwest of downtown Lansing and 7 miles northeast of the county seat at Charlotte. That location places it inside one of Michigan’s denser advanced-manufacturing and research corridors: General Motors’ Lansing Delta Township Assembly and the adjacent Lansing Regional Stamping plant operate in the same county, the Spartan Emergency Response plant in Charlotte builds fire-apparatus chassis, and Lansing itself is home to Niowave’s superconducting electron accelerators, Neogen’s food-safety diagnostics, and Emergent BioSolutions’ biologics manufacturing. A short drive east in East Lansing, Michigan State University operates the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science user facility. Tra-Cal supports these operations with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment.
Because Potterville sits roughly 600 road miles from our Gaithersburg, Maryland laboratory — well outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup and delivery radius — we serve Eaton County and the greater Lansing area through two intake paths: prepaid ship-in calibration with a typical five-business-day turnaround, and scheduled 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.

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.
