Compliance services to keep you audit ready
It takes significant time and resources to maintain compliant and audit-ready instruments and equipment in regulated environments. Our comprehensive and cost-effective suite of compliance services can improve your lab’s performance and save you time by documenting system functionality and mitigating the risk of regulatory noncompliance.
Compliance programs can be customized to your specific needs, so the right audit-quality data is ready for you to share with the appropriate regulatory bodies.
When you tap into the Unity Lab Services team, you get the expertise of factory-trained field service engineers (FSEs) who have a thorough understanding of industry regulations and standards.
The work done by FSEs is backed by a no-charge requalification guarantee: if a key component fails while under a qualifying service plan or warranty, we will requalify your instrument or equipment at no charge to ensure compliance is maintained.
Analytical Instrument Compliance
Analytical instrument systems are vital to your workflow. Maximize your investment with complete service and support solutions. Unity Lab Services offers qualification services that mitigate the risk of regulatory noncompliance and help ensure your instruments meet global standards.
| Installation qualification (IQ) | Documents and verifies that instrument is installed to manufacturer's recommendations and your lab's requirements. The records we produce are traceable and ready for you to demonstrate compliance. |
| Operational qualification (OQ) | Documents and verifies that instrument (as installed) is operating as intended to manufacturer's specifications. Our technical best practices help ensure that your instrument passes all qualification tests the first time, saving resources and maximizing uptime. |
Lab Equipment Compliance
Partnering with the right compliance service provider can be the key to your lab’s efficiency and success. Unity Lab Services can help support your lab’s compliance needs from purchase all throughout the equipment’s life cycle.
*Note: This is our general recommendation for all laboratory equipment used in a cGMP environment. Customers can customize calibration and performance tests after year 1 based on the recommendations of their quality team and equipment’s risk assessment.
Our comprehensive suite of compliance services is offered for a range of lab equipment, from refrigerators and freezers to shakers and centrifuges, and many more.
Calibration |
Periodic verification that equipment and remote monitoring sensors produce accurate results within specified limits, compliance with ISO 9001 or ISO/IEC 17025 standards. |
Installation Qualification (IQ) |
Documented verification that equipment installation site and environment meet manufacturer's specifications and user requirements. Verifies that the equipment, manuals, supplies, and any other accessories arrived undamaged and are properly assembled and installed. Configuration details for each system component are recorded. |
Operational Qualification (OQ) |
Documented verification that equipment (as installed) is operating as intended according to manufacturer's specifications. Verifies important equipment functions and ensures that the equipment operates as expected by the manufacturer and conforms to standards and requirements. Key tests include door ajar, power failure, and temperature alerts. |
Performance Testing (PT) |
Custom tests to ensure equipment meets user specifications. Examples include temperature mapping for cold storage equipment like refrigerators and freezers and cycle testing for centrifuges.
