Hi All
I have just been advised that one of the sites within our group use 3M ATP machines that require an annual calibration & this is time programmed into the machine so if you don’t get it calibrated by that date it won’t work until you do!
I know the machines need to be calibrated before first use to correlate the RLU with TVC but this is the first I have heard of an annual calibration – the site has informed me that this is 1000€ a year for both machines.
Seems a little excessive to me or is it really something that needs to be done?.
If anybody using the 3M machines your feedback would be very useful.
