Serving Raritan, NJ
Raritan is a Somerset County borough on the Raritan River, where US-202 and US-206 run concurrently through downtown and meet SR-28 at the Somerville Circle, with I-287 just east. Ortho Clinical Diagnostics develops and manufactures transfusion-medicine and blood-chemistry reagent products there, and Johnson & Johnson's Route 202 campus houses MedTech operations and a training institute. Past the borough line the county's life-sciences corridor continues into Bridgewater, where the Continuum campus rises on the former Sanofi site. Our ANAB-accredited calibration lab supports diagnostics manufacturers, medical device makers, and life-sciences laboratories in Raritan, Somerville, Hillsborough, Manville, and Branchburg with NIST-traceable calibrations delivered on time and audit-ready.
Raritan sits outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup radius, so Somerset County customers use two intake paths: prepaid ship-in calibration with a typical five-day turnaround, and onsite calibration appointments with a mobile lab carrying over 100 reference instruments. Every calibration is NIST-traceable and ships with an audit-ready certificate.
