Universal Operational Qualification (UOQ)

A Harmonized approach to Testing, Documentation, and Compliance.

The UOQ has been designed as a non metrology-based approach that streamlines documentation across all major models of laboratory instruments, regardless of manufacturer.

  • Simplified approach to automated OQ with uniform reports across all instruments and technologies
  • Uses existing data acquisition system, eliminating the need to validate an additional software platform
  • Faster than comparable automated and traditional paper-based systems, resulting in significant increased instrument uptime and improved scientific productivity
  • Reports are secure using digital certificate technology for encryption to prevent duplication and tampering
Before Qualification
  • Review Protocol – User-configurable for all set points and limits, offering customers full customization. The Review Protocol may be used for individual instruments or as a single protocol to harmonize all of your HPLC instruments.
During Qualification
  • Instrument Testing – Service engineers perform the qualification testing according to your specifications. Multiple systems can be tested at the same time and even overnight, significantly increasing uptime.
  • UOQ Report – An ultra-secure qualification report is generated using built-in calculations and pass/fail determinations for reliable documentation
After Qualification
  • Compliant – UOQ meets the highest regulatory standards and current international guidelines
  • Simplified – Easy-to-read reports with no hidden algorithms
  • Audit ready – Digital archiving of data and records makes gathering information easy for audits

UOQ is an innovative, harmonized, cross-platform approach that simplifies the entire qualification process.
