Each vkit is designed to qualify two systems (2 x HPLC or 2 x GC).
How many Initia kits do I need?
Initia kits contain software that is one license per PC. We suggest that you install this to an office PC or a laptop. The software does not communicate directly with your HPLC or GC so does not need to be installed on the PC that contains your CDS (chromatographic data system). If you are testing HPLC and GC in one location you will need one Initia GC and one Initia 64 (HPLC)
Windows 2000, NT and XP are all supported by vkit.
I have vkit version one - can I upgrade?
Yes - vkit version one will be supported for another 12 months. During this period you will have the opportunity to upgrade at a large discount. Contact NLG or your local dealer for details. Get Quote
Can I use vkit ver 1 datadiscs with ver 2?
No - vkit v2 will only operate with vkit v2 data discs. We will continue to supply ver 1.x datadiscs for up to one year from the launch date. Existing users of vkit ver 1.x will be offered a special discounted price to upgrade to the new software.
Do I need training?
Training is strongly recommended. Working in a regulated environment means training records are an essential part of laboratory compliance. Training courses are held regularly at out UK offices near Manchester, UK. Training is provided to our distributors to allow them in turn to train your staff. You will be provided with an official vkit training certificate following successful completion of the session (HPLC - one day, GC - one day)
Will my systems pass?
vkit is designed to test a system in the condition it is found. A FAIL result for any test is a valuable piece of information as it may prevent you from using a faulty piece of equipment. A system, which has been tested following a preventative maintenance service by a competent service provider, is very unlikely to FAIL. If a FAIL is reported the problem can be attended to and the system re-checked.Each datadisc supplied with a kit contains a number of test licenses. For example 10 test licenses per HPLC pump are contained on each Refill64 datadisc. This allows you to re-test a pump should your first test produce a FAIL. You can fix the pump then re-test. Or if your HPLC is a high pressure gradient system you may have 2 (binary) or 3 pumps (ternary) to check per system.
