is a simple calculation of cost per qualification that demonstrates what
excellent value for money v:kit is
if we
take the example of a laboratory with twenty hplc systems, each one with
a gradient pump and uv detector, that is using v:kit for the first time.
the
v:kits required to perform operational qualification on all these
instruments are:
first year
part no.: VKIT2-I64
description: initiaLC hplc starter kit
end user price: £1200.00
quantity: 1
part no.: VKIT2-R64
description: gradient hplc refill kit
end user price: £330.00
quantity: 9
total cost for operational qualification on 20 hplc systems = £4,170.00.
cost per qualification = £208.50*
subsequent years
part no.: VKIT2-R64
description: gradient hplc refill kit
end user price: £330.00
quantity: 10
total cost for operational qualification on 20 hplc systems = £3,300.00.
cost per qualification = £165.00*
comparing
the above to the typical cost of a single operational qualification from
a major instrument vendor, £1,500.00, the excellent value for
money that v:kit represents becomes clear.
* in
addition to v:kit costs the laboratory must supply labour plus have available
a calibrated liquid flowmeter and digital thermometer.
