Bibby Scientific has announced that Jenway's 6800 spectrophotometer is now available with IQ/OQ documentation, satisfying the needs of customers in the pharmaceutical and other regulated industries.
Installation qualification documentation enables customers to ensure that they install their equipment correctly, in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines, according to the company.
Covering issues such as location of the instrument, environmental requirements, PC connection and initial setup, the IQ document contains step-by-step instructions and provision for all stages to be recorded for audit.
Operational qualification documentation is used to verify and document that the Model 6800 spectrophotometer functions within the defined specification.
Approved protocols using traceable standards are set out for wavelength accuracy and repeatability and photometric accuracy, as well as instructions for checking stray light, bandwidth, noise and drift.
Covering the ultraviolet/visible wavelength range from 190nm to 1,100nm, the Model 6800 is a double-beam spectrophotometer with highly stable optics and a 1.5nm spectral bandwidth for resolution and accuracy.
All functions of the Model 6800 are controlled via a PC using Jenway's Flight Deck software.
The instrument's double-beam configuration compares the light absorbance of test samples with a reference sample and the range of measurement modes includes photometrics and multi-wavelength spectrum kinetics and quantitation.
DNA/RNA ratios can be analysed to calculate the concentration of double- or single-stranded DNA.
The new IQ/OQ documentation is also available separately for customers who have previously purchased a 6800 spectrophotometer.
