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 Route 28 at the Somerville Circle, with Interstate 287 a few miles east. For a borough of fewer than 8,000 residents it carries an unusual concentration of regulated measurement work: the 66-acre Ortho Clinical Diagnostics site at 1001 US Route 202, where transfusion-medicine and blood-chemistry reagent products are developed and manufactured, sits alongside Johnson & Johnson’s Route 202 campus in the borough, home to MedTech operations and a Johnson & Johnson Institute training center. Past the borough line the Somerset County life-sciences corridor continues through Somerville, Bridgewater — where the 60-acre Continuum campus is being built out to as much as 1.1 million square feet of laboratory, manufacturing, and R&D space on the former Sanofi site — Hillsborough, Manville, and Branchburg. Tra-Cal supports these operations with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment.
Our laboratory is in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and Raritan sits outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup radius, so we serve Somerset 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.
