[Histonet] Balance and Scale Calibration

[Piche, Jessica]

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering what other anatomic pathology labs are doing to calibrate their scales and balances? I also would like to know what the basic tolerances for balances or scales is? I can only seem to find information in laboratories that deal with soil. I have a procedure and a calibration record sheet in place but I'm not sure what the range is for basic tolerances of the scale or balance so I'm not sure what to do if a scale or balance is not within the right limits.

Thank you for any insight, procedures, information etc.
