The Thermo Scientific™ MIC-6 Multi Instrument Calibrator can automatically calibrate up to six TVA2020 Toxic Vapor Analyzers or manually calibrate additional analyzers.
The Thermo Scientific™ MIC-6 Multi Instrument Calibrator enhances the accuracy and efficiency of LDAR compliance monitoring, complementing the industry-leading TVA2020. Thermo Scientific™ TVA2020 Toxic Vapor Analyzers may be automatically calibrated up to six times. Other portable field analyzers can also be manually calibrated.

- MIC-6 saves time and improves accuracy without any recurring software fees
- Calibrates up to six TVA2020s in automatic mode
- Automatic application of zero gas and five additional span gases
- Electronic capturing of calibration records and drift evaluations
- Calibrates up to six legacy TVA1000Bs or other similar analyzers in manual mode
The Thermo Scientific MIC-6 has two calibration modes: manual and automatic. The auto mode is intended exclusively for the TVA2020, while the manual mode may be used to calibrate up to six vintage TVA1000B or similar equipment, removing the requirement for Tedlar bags or similar gas delivery systems.
During calibration, each span gas, beginning with zero air, is given to the sensors at increasing concentrations. Immediately following calibration, the gases are reintroduced into the equipment to validate the calibration and provide the reference point for the drift check.
The calibrator can also do either automatic or manual drift checks on the instruments. In auto drift check mode, the calibrator compares the most recent calibration data to the current instrument reading and displays the percentage difference.
To use the automated features, the calibrator has to be filled with the calibration gas tank data. The MIC-6 will notify the user that the tank is about to expire within one month of the expiration date by using the tank information.
The MIC-6 additionally includes a calibration precision data entry screen, which can be used to save the reaction time and concentration values needed for the quarterly calibration accuracy audit.
The MIC-6 has enough memory to record six years of daily calibration and drift data from over 100 devices. The data is saved in the order it is received in memory, avoiding the possibility of postdating entries.
The data held in internal memory could be retrieved in .CSV format via a USB memory device or a user-supplied Bluetooth connection.
