Qualification services
You can add qualification services to complement your service plan. Instrument hardware qualifications for EVOS cell imaging system include instrument qualification (IQ) and operational qualification (OQ) to document and verify that instruments are installed and operating according to manufacturer’s specifications.
- IQ: provides documented evidence and verification that the instrument has been delivered and installed according to manufacturer’s specifications
- OQ: provides documented verification that the instrument subsystems are operating as designed. Verifies that the functionality of an instrument meets the manufacturer’s operational specifications.
IQ and OQ are recommended at installation and when moving the instrument. Our qualification specialists will partner with you to deliver timely, cost-effective, and trusted qualification services that include reliable, audit-style documentation that will help ensure your instruments meet regulatory requirements.
