Nicol Scales & Measurement offers solutions for medical device manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies that cover the entire plant – from incoming goods and R&D to production. NSM works with many of the largest names in the medical and pharmaceutical industries across the United States and Puerto Rico. Medical and pharmaceutical companies choose us because of our focus on safety and quality, our GLP knowledge and our ability to offer IQ/OQ and validation support to assist in meeting FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.

In the production setting, NSM offers custom solutions for high resolution and hygienic weighing with Minebea Intec (previously Sartorius Industrial) scales and tank and hopper load cell systems. NSM also offers force measurement and materials testing systems for tension and compression testing applications in the R&D lab and manufacturing QC area.

To help customers in the medical and pharma industries streamline and save money on calibration and service, we offer embedded calibration services to manage plant-wide calibrations on a daily basis to ensure equipment is operating within tolerance.  Contact NSM to be your trusted partner for your calibration, weighing and testing needs.
