We provide world-class services for ultrasound field measurement and test instrument calibration, as well as consultancy, advice and training. Our unparalleled in-house modelling and measurement expertise enables us to design, build and validate bespoke instruments using ultrasound-based technologies. Purpose-built facilities and unique capabilities allow us to solve the most complex of measurement problems. We provide bespoke consultancy to assist with design, prototyping, production and optimisation, as well as QA issues. Our UKAS-accredited hydrophone calibration services provide equipment manufacturers with the traceability they require for regulatory approval.
NPL is focused on the development of new ultrasound imaging techniques to support earlier diagnosis and treatment. Our in-depth understanding of the underlying physics, combined with traceable measurement capabilities, makes us the ideal partner for the development of new technologies and to support the demonstration of compliance to the various international regulatory standards for medical devices (e.g. EU MDR 2017/745).
