Calibration Standards

We offer a large portfolio of Calibration Standards to meet the needs of the Dairy Foods Manufacturing Industries. These state-of-the-art standards can be used to maintain calibrations in most in-house testing equipment, and are recognized by major equipment manufacturers as the standards of choice.

Standards are offered in varying levels (1 to 10, 12, or 16 levels) based on the particular Calibration Standard. Standards are produced at regular intervals to meet the specific needs of the industry.

Instructions for Use

Long-term Stable Frozen Calibration Standards

Frozen milk standards have been validated for specific sample types including Urea, Goat Milk, WPC, and UF Skim. These standards are very similar to freshly made standards, except they can be used over an extended period of time and have a shelf life of up to an entire year. With the availability of frozen standards, instrument calibration can be performed more frequently, making the calibration even stronger. Reference values for these samples will also be more consistent, making it easier to determine if an instrument is changing.
