NLG Analytical Ltd launch v:kit2 for HPLC

NLG Analytical launch v:kit2 for HPLC.

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

NLG Analytical Business Development Manager, Stephen Luke, says "I’m very pleased to launch v:kit version 2 for HPLC. I believe that this unique product represents an idea tool for the traceable and efficient qualification of any manufacturer’s HPLC instruments – whether this be scheduled OQ performed by a service provider or regular PQ undertaken by the instrument user."
