Operational Qualification

The LC Services Ltd Operational Qualification (OQ) procedures have been designed in line with good laboratory practice (GLP) and good manufacturing practices (GMP), which require that all laboratory instrumentation shall be adequately inspected, cleaned and maintained. Instruments used for generation, measurement and evaluation of data shall be adequately tested, calibrated or standardised. LC Services Ltd protocol (available on request) will define the methods and documentation that will be used to evaluate the HPLC or GC system for operation in accordance with the intended use. Successful completion of this protocol will verify that the HPLC or GC system is operating according to acceptance limits.

Benefits of Qualification

To ensure the equipment performs, operates and functions as the manufacturer intended it to.

Helping your company meet the regulatory requirements set by organizations and relevant authorities.

Prevent faults, downtime and costly repairs as the qualification identifies potential risks associated with the operations of the equipment.

Provides a comprehensive report to better assist operations and future inspections to aid with the longevity of your equipment.

How does a qualification work?

The OQ procedures use a combination of test functions and analytical methods (using certified samples & equipment) to evaluate and verify the instrument or system is operating according to acceptable limits.

All preventative maintenance and repairs must be completed and instrument tests carried out prior to a qualification procedure being undertaken. All standards and equipment used for qualification must be checked for compliance prior to qualification. Once all equipment has undergone initial maintenance and repair, operational qualification can be carried out in accordance with this protocol.

All raw data collected is obtained using calibrated standards for equipment, which is traceable to nationally recognised standards. All chromatographic data is captured on the customer’s system and folders are generated to store the data. The OQ is performed on our very own tailor made software, generates certificates on site and is electronically signed by the engineers’ personal login.

All criteria can be tailored to the customers individual specification and the final certification is backed up to the LC Services Ltd server.
