| Humidity Calibration The ‘scientific method’ can be described as the golden rule of science experiments. Testing accurately and precisely is essential to getting repeatable, reliable results and that means that all of the various factors and variables must be properly controlled to make sure that the final outcome is trustworthy. Modern laboratories are specially designed so that all the variables can be controlled when carrying out an experiment or test, and so that no external factors impact on the results. One of the hardest things to control in a modern lab is humidity, and humidity calibration is essential to keeping tests and processes from being impacted by the quality and humidity of the air. That is why here at Boost Labcare we specialise in providing high quality humidity calibration for your laboratory, as well as advice and support with managing humidity in your testing space. But why is humidity calibration important? Read on to find out more about the dangers of humidity in the lab and how Boost Labcare can help you with humidity calibration. Why is Humidity Calibration Important? Humidity refers to how much moisture there is in an atmosphere or gas, and a low level of humidity is generally a useful thing in day to day life. In a science lab humidity needs to be controlled as it can cause problems if it gets too high or changes significantly. It does not matter what area of science your lab works with; humidity calibration is always important as all sophisticated scientific equipment can be damaged or affected by humidity. The main problem with humidity is that it can skew or negatively impact results, and if the humidity in a lab is regularly changing, it can result in a loss of precision and reduced accuracy. Humidity is a problem within laboratory spaces as they are often partially or totally sealed off, so moisture in the air can easily build up and can be caused by heating processes and even just people breathing in the laboratory space. If uncontrolled, humidity can cause corrosion in machinery, damage electronics, cause fungal and microbial spore growth and negatively affect the accuracy and precision of laboratory processes. Without accurate and reliable humidity calibration, the level of humidity in a laboratory space can have a significant impact on outcomes before any evidence is seen. Storage spaces can also be at risk, and without humidity calibration, samples and data kept in controlled storage can be damaged or rendered unusable.
