v:kit 2 launch

NLG Analytical Ltd are proud to introduce HPLC v:kit version 2.

After almost three years of use v:kit 1 for HPLC has been fully updated. The graphical interface remains virtually unchanged and a substantial amount of additional functionality has been added to provide a more comprehensive and flexible qualification package. The package is designed to facilitate more efficient OQ/PQ testing through a reduction in repeated data entry and a re-design for some of the tests. Key features of version 2 are:

  • Compliance – 21 CFR Part 11 compliant functions designed into the validated software
  • Traceability – Traceable standards and tools used for all tests
  • Efficiency – Calibration and instrument details stored in software for easy re-use
  • Flexibility – Scope and stringency of tests can be configured
  • Procedures – Detailed SOPs available for all tests

technical tip

When performing flowrate checks with Waters hplc pumps using v:kit, ensure that there is adequate back-pressure applied to enable the check valves to operate correctly. This is especially important at the first default flow-rate setpoint of 0.5ml/min.
