Analysis of the Calibration of Different Types of Incubators and Their Calibration Deviations

Calibration of the incubator is carried out by comparing the calibrated instrument with standards, and from this comparison the deviation of the measuring instrument itself is determined, and then the measurement uncertainty is assessed with these results. When calibrating the incubator, errors (deviations) are determined. Such deviations are very important to determine due to the continued use of incubators for different purposes, such as for medical purposes, and all in order not to endanger human lives. In the incubator, its accuracy changes during use due to various influences (for example, humidity, temperature). Regular calibration at certain time intervals ensures accuracy, correctness, consistency and traceability. The equipment used for calibration, as well as additional equipment for monitoring, for example, ambient working conditions, has a significant impact on the accuracy of the calibration results. All the mentioned equipment should be regularly calibrated, in order to be sure of the validity of the obtained results. The mentioned equipment/standards must be calibrated and traceable according to a standard of a higher level of metrology ability.
