Q:

Can you provide more information on the PyroTec Pro IOPQ?

A:
  1. Installation Qualification (IQ) – ensures that the hardware and software are installed and configured properly in preparation for further testing. Basically, this verifies that the software is installed and that readers and incubators have been configured correctly.
  2. Operational Qualification (OQ) – ensures that hardware and software components are in proper working order (confirms functionality of LiHa and RoMa arms and functionality to transfer microplates to/from readers).
  3. Performance Qualification (PQ) – evaluates the overall functional performance of the system by performing actual automated endotoxin tests using Lonza endotoxin testing reagents. The technician runs an assay to challenge the repeat pipetting accuracy using a Lonza PQ routine test template with samples and dilutions.
