DECADE II - OQ

DECADE II Operational Qualification describes the OQ procedure as advised by the manufacturer. It is a result from interpretation of many regulations and laboratory practises. In addition, feedback from users and representatives helped to finalize this procedure. A complete OQ for DECADE II consists of:

• Performance test of DECADE II electronics
• Performance test of DECADE II with flow cell

The second check is an overall HPLC-ECD check running a test sample. All qualification checks have to be approved, or should be marked "n/a" if not applicable. Any deviation observed must be documented in the 'non-conformance' record. 

An OQ script in DECADE II Dialogue guides you through all steps of the procedure. All test results are electronically stored. After finalising a 4 pages OQ report is generated.

The OQ document describes:
