Labcold commissioning and validation service is the ideal way to ensure that your equipment is working correctly before it is required to store product.

As part of the checks you will be issued with a calibration certificate so you can prove you have undertaken IQ/OQ checks and be confident that anything you place inside the refrigerator, freezer or incubate will be stored in optimum conditions.

Our service technicians can also provide you and your team with training on how to use the equipment and give you handy tips to keep it working in perfect condition.
