Synopsis:

This peer-reviewed article explains where thermistor-based mapping equipment and thermocouple-based equipment are used for optimal accuracy and ease-of-use. Knowing where it is appropriate to use thermistor sensors in regulated applications, can allow users to eliminate many pre- and post-calibrations.

Evidence That Stable Sensors Eliminate Pre- & Post-Calibration

As outlined in the article, our A2LA accredited calibration laboratory performed 2,427 routine service calibrations on Veriteq data loggers that had been in field use for 10 to 14 months. Of these devices, 99.7% were returned for calibration well within the original accuracy specifications. Of the eight that were found Out of Specification (OOS), none were out by more than 0.12ºC, and the average OOS value was 0.036ºC.

These results indicate that, with the Veriteq Validation System, skipping pre- and post-calibrations is not reckless practice. The stability of the data loggers allows for a more efficient and accurate validation method. In addition, the reduced set-up and deployment time of our system, along with little or no operational downtime that normally accompanies validating with thermocouple-based sytems, reduces many of the high costs associated with validation.
