Welcome to v-kit – the home of analytical instrument qualification.

The unique platform for IQ/OQ/PQ
v-kit is a unique product for the independent installation qualification (IQ), operational qualification (OQ) and performance qualification (PQ) of HPLC and GC systems. v-kit was developed to provide a complete, out-of-the-box solution for  chromatography instrument qualification, regardless of make. The advantages of vendor-independence include cost savings of up to 80%, and a standard platform to harmonise qualification across different makes of chromatography equipment, even when instruments are in laboratories in various locations.

v-kit InitiaLC and InitiaGC are the starting points for instrument validation.
These starter packs contain the software, traceable reference standards, parts, SOPs and logbook for the first  HPLC instrument or GC instrument qualification. There’s also the option to separately buy tools including pressure meters, flowmeters and temperature meters (thermometers), or they can be supplied bundled with the Initia kits for a complete one-pack solution for chromatography instrument qualification.

Initia kits are then topped up as required using refill packs, which can be ordered in any quantity and for all system configurations. All Initia and refill kits, tools, standards and licences can be purchased online.

More than just a product, the unique design of v-kit enables qualification to be delivered as a service by equipment end-users, or by designated local qualification service providers – such as NLG Analytical in the UK.

Used correctly, v-kit can aid compliance to regulations issued by international regulatory compliance authorities such as FDA (USA), MHRA (UK), IMB (Ireland) etc.

Launched in 2003, v-kit has grown to become the standard IQ / OQ / PQ instrument qualification platform for quality-conscious organisations in a variety of sectors, who appreciate the time, effort and cost savings it delivers.
