Instrument validation with certified equipment

Control and validation of laboratory instruments for Swiss laboratories, performed by Labgene Scientific SA with certified reference equipment - for the categories below.

Why validate your laboratory instruments?

Reproducible results start with instruments that measure what they claim to measure. Regular control and validation gives your laboratory documented evidence of instrument performance - for your quality system, your audits (ISO 17025, GLP, GMP environments) and the day-to-day confidence of your team. A thermal cycler that drifts by one degree, a pipette that dispenses 3% off or an incubator running outside its CO2 setpoint can quietly invalidate weeks of work. Validation catches this before it costs you results.

What we control and validate

PCR thermal cycler validation

Validation of PCR thermal cyclers with certified reference equipment: verification that the thermal block performs to specification, documented for your quality system.

  • Standard PCR and qPCR thermal cyclers
  • Performed with certified reference equipment
  • Documented results for audits and quality systems

Centrifuge control

Control of laboratory centrifuges covering the parameters that matter for safety and reproducibility.

  • Rotational speed control
  • Temperature control (refrigerated models)
  • Electrical safety testing (VDE)

Incubator controls

Controls of laboratory and CO2 incubators on the parameters your cultures depend on.

  • Temperature control
  • CO2 control
  • O2 control

Pipette calibration and certification

Pipette control with different certification levels, so you only pay for the level your quality system requires.

  • Basic certification level for routine laboratory use
  • Premium certification according to ISO 17025
  • Single- and multi-channel pipettes

Balance control

Control and validation of laboratory balances with certified reference equipment.

  • Analytical and precision balances
  • Performed with certified reference equipment
  • Documented results for your quality system

Performed by Labgene Scientific SA

Labgene Scientific SA has served Swiss laboratories since 1994, from Châtel-Saint-Denis (Fribourg). The same team that inspects and certifies the second-hand equipment sold on Lab2Lab performs these instrument controls - with certified reference equipment and documentation you can hand to an auditor.

Frequently asked questions

Which laboratory instruments can Labgene control or validate?+

PCR thermal cyclers (validation), centrifuges (speed, temperature and VDE electrical controls), incubators (temperature, CO2 and O2 controls), pipettes (basic or premium ISO 17025 certification levels) and laboratory balances.

What is the difference between the basic and the ISO 17025 pipette certification?+

The basic level is a control performed with certified reference equipment, suitable for routine laboratory use. The premium level follows ISO 17025 requirements - the level usually expected in accredited or regulated environments. Tell us which quality system you work under and we will recommend the right level.

How do I get a quote for an instrument control or validation?+

Send the list of instruments (type, brand, model and how many) via WhatsApp or to info@labgene.ch. The Labgene team comes back to you with the appropriate certification level and a quote - usually within one business day.

Who performs the controls and validations?+

Labgene Scientific SA, the Swiss laboratory equipment specialist operating Lab2Lab, serving Swiss laboratories since 1994. Controls are performed with certified reference equipment.
