Instrument Qualification, Maintenance & Repair Services

Infinity provides multi-vendor service and support to manage your lab’s instrumentation from installation to repair.

Instrument Qualifications

1 of

Installation Qualification (IQ)

Documents and verifies instrument delivery and installation according to the manufacturer’s specifications.

Operational Qualification (OQ)

Documented verification that the instrument operates as intended. Specifically, OQ verifies that the instrument’s performance meets the manufacturer’s operational specifications.

Performance Qualification (PQ)

Also known as instrument performance verification (IPV), confirms the accuracy and precision of the instrument and that it is performing effectively and reproducibly within manufacture-defined performance specifications.

Re-qualification

Most often performed annually after initial qualifications, requalification confirms that the instrument continues to operate as specified by the manufacturer.

Maintenance Qualification

Documents protocols after instrument repair, further supporting compliance programs.

Preventative Maintenance

Preventative maintenance is essential for your lab’s efficient operation, avoiding downtime, and providing quality and compliance program support.

Each preventative maintenance visit includes:

  • Execution of instrument-specific preventive maintenance checklist.
  • Replacement of common wear and tear parts with high-quality parts that meet instrument manufacturers’ specifications.
  • Comprehensive performance and specifications testing.
