IQ/OQ Validation for Instruments and Software

Be confident that your instrumentation and/or software is installed correctly, functions according to manufacturer specifications-and, in the case of software, communicates properly with peripheral equipment. Specially trained chemists perform all testing at your facility, and fully documented results help satisfy all government/GLP requirements.

For Instrumentation
IQ documentation is supplied as a standard checklist of all items delivered and installed. The process begins by selecting a suitable location for the installation, followed by checking the connectivity of and communication with peripheral units. OQ checks all parameters and functionality, including proper transfer of data to printers, computers and additional dosing devices (where applicable). Complete documentation includes installation and operational checklists, a validation data spreadsheet, pass/fail verification and copies of the specific application bulletin(s) used in the procedure.

For software
The entire process begins with one of our degreed chemists installing the actual software on your instrument, on site at your facility. The IQ portion documents the complete hardware/operating system and instrumentation controlled by the software; it also includes a check of the application's basic connectivity to and communication with the instrument(s) it controls. The OQ portion tests configuration menus, method development, instrument control and data transfer, as well as user administration and security settings, audit trails and data integrity/security. Complete documentation includes installation and operational checklists.
