Bench-Top Instrument Validation Services

Validation Services for Benchtop Laboratory Equipment

Validating benchtop laboratory equipment is a process that verifies whether an instrument performs according to its intended purpose, meeting predetermined specifications and requirements consistently. Validation Services provided by Transcat are driven by customer requirements that outline the overall validation process, which can include specific testing phases within our qualifications. 

The qualification steps within the validation can involve qualifying a piece of laboratory equipment based on its installation, operations, or reliable performance. Benchtop lab equipment qualifications are commonly done on new or modified equipment to ensure that it is installed properly and performing correctly.

Transcat's validation expertise covers a variety of laboratory equipment. We perform installation and operational qualifications on the following benchtop equipment:

• Balances‚ qualifications meeting USP 42 standards
• Centrifuges‚ testing for control, RPM, time, and temperature
• Osmometers‚ measurement of osmolality over full scale and testing of controller functionality
• Spectrophotometers‚ qualifications associated with wavelength accuracy and linearity, photometric linearity, etc., using holmium oxide, potassium chloride and other filters
• Melting Point Apparatus‚ verification of multiple melting point accuracies over full-scale range

Validation contributes to quality, efficiency, and in some cases, cost savings. We can offer regulated industries the benefits of experienced personnel, customized protocol development, and precision-calibrated instruments‚ with experience validating the performance of a wide range of instruments. The result? Companies and laboratories gain the documented evidence they need to meet regulatory requirements.
