Installation and qualification of elemental and structural analysis instruments

On-site installation of equipment includes a visual inspection of the unit as well as testing of the installed instrument and operating instructions. An installation certificate confirms and logs the services that were conducted.

 

The installation qualification gives you the certification that all the checks have been carried out to ensure that the equipment is correctly positioned and configured, but also that all the supplies comply with the established specifications.

Maintenance qualification and emergency response

This service guarantees your OES, XRF and XRD instruments meet validation and standardization requirements such as ISO 9001, CE, etc.

  • The Operation Qualification (OQ) procedure reproduces the OQ performed during Quality Assurance (QA) at the factory and confirms that the instrument is operational by proof of the validation report.
  • Preventive maintenance is available as a one-time on demand service. It is also included in all our service contracts.
  • Emergency response is included in the preventive maintenance and provides priority remote support, shorter response times for on-site corrective repairs.

Maintenance and calibration
