At Ocean Optics, we know that your system represents a significant investment. Therefore, we have designed and manufactured our instruments to provide you with dependable and trouble-free operation. However, as with any other scientific instrument, you can prolong the life of your investment by performing regularly scheduled preventive service and maintenance.

Our instrument calibration and scheduled maintenance services are designed to provide you with this long-term reliability to ensure that you receive the highest quality measurement results for your application.

We strongly recommend yearly recalibration for all Ocean Optics instruments. This service includes the following:

• Re-focusing and optical bench alignment
• Wavelength calibration (with certificate)
• Linearity calibration
• Optical resolution evaluation
• Stray light measurement
• Baseline uniformity evaluation and adjustment
• Noise analysis
• Electronics verification
• Cleaning
• Firmware upgrades (if available)

A certification report is included along with a diskette containing calibration and linearity coefficients. For USB2000 and HR2000 Spectrometers, these coefficients will be loaded in the unit's EEPROM.

If your company requires scheduled calibration or maintenance for scientific instruments, we can design a custom contract to support your specific needs.

Sensors Calibration Services

To ensure accurate measurements of your sample, you must first calibrate your oxygen sensor system. If your samples cannot be maintained at a constant temperature (+/-3ºC), you can perform a temperature calibration using the calibration function in your OOISensors software, or we can perform the calibration for you. You'll need to determine the temperature and oxygen concentration range of your sample before ordering an in-house calibration service.

Radiometric Calibration Services

To certify that the absolute spectral intensity data from your emission sources is correct, you should be calibrating the absolute spectral response of your spectroradiometric system against known standards. Metrology professionals from our Calibration Laboratory take your Ocean Optics spectrometer or radiometer, and radiometrically calibrate your instrument against both NIST- and NPL-traceable radiometric standards.
