Burns has been talking up the value of the Temperature Measurement Expert for nearly 50 years….  I discovered that there are others that see the value as well.  Ray Peacock, aka Mr. Pyrometer posted in his “Measurement blog” an article titled “Get an Expert with your sensor”  Take a look,  we couldn’t agree more.

Thanks Mr. Peacock.   (Mr. Pyrometer)  Follow Him on Twitter

It may not be as well known as Mothers Day or Independence Day, but today is International Accreditation Day.  June 9th, 2009 was jointly established by 2 international Accreditation organizations to raise awareness of the importance of accreditation.

Burns is proud to be a member of the family of accredited laboratories, providing confidence to those we serve in their temperature dependant processes.  Burns has been NVLAP Accredited (lab code 200706-0) since Oct. 2006.  

Have you work with other accredited organizations?  Do you see any difference?  We hope so, but would appreciate your perspective.

Happy International Accreditation Day!

We are proud to be serving the people of the world…  Sounds a bit lofty, but it’s true.  Burns has been contacted to supply temperature sensors to support the production of the vaccine for the H1N1 flu.   According to Reuters, posted:  Thu May 28, 2009, several companies are working on the vaccine:

“AstraZeneca’s MedImmune unit owns the reverse genetics method, which it has licensed to a number of companies approved to sell flu shots in the United States including Sanofi-Aventis SA, Novartis AG and GlaxoSmithKline Plc.”

We are thrilled to be working with many of these companies in their very important work. 

Helping to keep the world healthy, one degree at a time….

Remember…  wash your hands frequently.
