Testimonials
"I would like to express my appreciation for the great job that you and the Tangent Labs team performed for Praxair Surface Technologies last month. We needed to have a calibration certificate for a VWR pipette before our audit. Your service was really professional and we are going to use Tangent Labs in the future."

The BG can stop motorized test stand travel at user-selectable set points, and can also prevent force overload (when used with the ESM motorized test stand). Go / no go testing can also be accomplished with an optional plug-in hi / lo limits indicator.
