Press information from NLG Analytical - April 2009

New v-kit ‘bundles’ contain everything needed for HPLC and GC equipment qualification

Everything needed to get started with independent GC and HPLC equipment qualification is provided in the new v-kit Initia bundles from NLG Analytical. The new bundles contain software, reference standards, licences, standard operating procedures, plus the tools for complete system qualification.

Advantages of v-kit include the ability to test all chromatography systems to the same standards — providing consistency over different makes and different sites. Qualification using v-kit can be provided by an NLG-recommended service provider, or through your own service staff following training provided by NLG. Other benefits include cost savings of up to 80% on equipment qualification.
