Introducing HPLC IQOQ
Compliance Services Solutions for your LC system as part of your
complete AB SCIEX workﬂow
Your work in regulated industries demands compliance with government and international standards including documented verification
that your instruments are installed and functioning within their operational specifications. The process can be complex, time-consuming,
and costly.
You now have access to a streamlined Installation Qualification and Operational Qualification (IQOQ) for Agilent, Shimadzu, and Eksigent
HPLC, UPLC, and microLC systems as part of a comprehensive Compliance Services portfolio offered by AB SCIEX. You receive a complete
qualification solution for the regulated laboratory environment including MS IQOQ, LC IQOQ, LCMS PQ, and Software Validation.
For both GLP and non-GLP regulated laboratories, the HPLC IQOQ provides a well-documented, regulatory-accepted solution, that verifies
and records the instrument’s ability to meet AB SCIEX specified performance criteria after installation, while also providing an independent
verification of the HPLC component functionality.
