AI is accredited by the American Association of Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA) in accordance with the recognized International Standard ISO/IEC 17025:2005 General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories, and also meets the requirements of ANSI/NCSLI Z540-1-1994 and the requirements of ANSI/NCSLI Z540.3-2006 and R205.
 
“Angel’s Instrumentation is a good strategic fit for us as it strengthens our position in the mid-Atlantic region and expands our customer base. We also plan to leverage our national footprint to lower AI’s cost of service to its national customers,” commented Lee D. Rudow, president and CEO of Transcat. “Importantly, Angel’s Instrumentation shares our deep commitment to quality and customer service and we welcome the entire team to the Transcat family.”

Transcat Inc. provides accredited calibration, repair, inspection and laboratory instrument services to highly regulated industries, including life science, aerospace and defense, pharmaceutical, medical device manufacturing, and biotechnology.
