Calibrate
A set of operational activities to establish the relationship between a measuring device and a traceable and known uncertainty of the reference value, under specified conditions. A set of operational activities that establishes the relationship between a measuring device and a traceable standard with a known uncertainty in the reference value under specified conditions. Calibration may include the steps of verifying, correcting, reporting, or adjusting to eliminate any deviation in the accuracy of the measuring devices being compared.
In biochemistry it is the use of a standard (whose value is traceable to an international standard) to test its absorbance and derive a standard curve. Used in specimen testing
Quality Control
Operational techniques and measures taken to meet specifications or regulations for data quality.
It is to test it as a specimen with or without the target value given by the vendor
Both of them can be used to understand the stability of the machine by drawing a quality control chart

Calibration is the prerequisite and quality control is the guarantee
Quality control is the guarantee.
