Global leader in laboratory services expands OneSource®
Laboratory Service offering to help pharma, biotech, and other regulated
companies meet stringent regulatory requirements
WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
PerkinElmer Inc., a global leader focused on the health and safety of
people and the environment, today announced the addition of its new Universal
Operational Qualification (UOQ) offering, as part of its growing
suite of compliance services for pharmaceutical, biotech, and other
regulated laboratory environments.
As part of PerkinElmer's OneSource®
Laboratory Service offerings, the UOQ service provides researchers
the most efficient, automated and state-of-the-art lab instrumentation
qualification program available today. The service offering ensures that
customers' lab instruments provide accurate results as well as remain in
operation for optimal uptime, for maximum productivity combined with
ongoing regulatory compliance capability.
"PerkinElmer is dedicated to providing its customers with the means to
maintain robust compliance programs, to help ensure development of safer
and more effective products," said Dusty Tenney, president, Analytical
Sciences and Laboratory Services, PerkinElmer. "The UOQ services were
specifically designed to meet the latest international guidelines and
regulatory standards."
Through the implementation of UOQs, customers will experience
significant scientific productivity with increased instrument
availability, organizational efficiency and overall cost reduction.
PerkinElmer's UOQ streamlines the qualification process for all lab
instrumentation, allowing customers to consolidate to a single,
integrated solution. For ease of regulatory documentation tracking, the
qualification service also enables customers to harmonize documentation
across all major models of laboratory instruments with uniform testing,
regardless of manufacturer.
The UOQ service also provides a standardized approach to minimize
variability in documentation to simplify regulatory audits. This is
accomplished through lab-proven protocols, which provide customers
flexibility to customize reporting specifications based on their
requirements. Another benefit of the UOQ is that it produces a fully
compliant report which ensures data security using digital certificate
technology for encryption.
The initial release of UOQ will support high performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC) instrumentation with gas chromatography (GC)
capability available before the end of 2011.
